Hi Team,

Last Mondays meeting was very good with Glenis speaking about how much Tokomairiro High School has changed since she started, and the changes still to come in the education system.

Special mention to those who attended Tautuku camp last weekend, it looked like you had a great time, and have done an excellent job with the spruce up.

Also this weekend was the PETS day at the High School, thank you to Glenis, Susan, Luisa, Jennifer, Steven, and Jim for helping out with all the great food.

Borland Lodge Trip

Recently a group of the Tramping Club members took the opportunity to isit Borland Lodge and learn more of the area, in preparation for trips to come.

Here are some photos of Colleen Hawthorne, Ben & Susan Morris, Suzie Bearman and Stephen Woodhead walking into Green Lake (822m asl) during the Tramping Club recon trip Labour weekend to Borland Lodge.

Tautuku Combined Working Bee

On the weekend of 16/17 October a number of our members joined the combined clubs working bee at Tautuku. It was a great weekend with lots of fun and lots of work completed. Thank you to all members who gave their time to help out.

I have taken the liberty to share some of the photos from the Mosgiel club bulletin - many thanks.

PETS Training

The PETS Training day, for the combined Rotary district 9990 incoming club presidents , was held at Tokomairiro High School on Saturday 6 November.

Thank you to the Milton Rotary members who helped with the catering for the event.

It was a beautiful day and the food went down well – Tiny’s sausages always go down well!

Milton Rotary Otago Youth Adventure Tramping Club

Times are uncertain times at the moment for the Tramping Club with many Aucklanders pulling out due to the covid issue – so, there are now spaces available on some of the trips previously booked out.

It is likely that a double vaccination requirement will be set to be able to go on any of the trips.

A meeting is being held 17 November to make some decisions about trips.

Xmas Tree Celebration

The Milton Combined Parish is holding a Christmas Tree celebration. Colin has suggested we put together a Milton Rotary tree. Please let us know if you would like to be involved in this – great way to be involved with our local community.

Alice’s Book – Aoteoroa Christmas Spirit

May be an illustration of child and book

Lighten up someone’s day with this is a delightful Christmas story. Alice is providing these books to the Rotary Club for a wholesale price of 3 for $10 (+ $5 postage). Rotary clubs can pass them on as gifts. The retail price of the books is $15 each.

Please contact Jackie Muir jackieannemuir@gmail.com if you are interested.

RYLA 2022 – Rotary Youth Leadership Awards

RYLA is a great opportunity for the young adults in our community - please look out for young leaders you believe will benefit from this.

Unfortunately the young man I thought was going to apply through our club is unable to attend- the timing clashes with some of his key St John’s work. Bronson is keen to attend in the future, but unavailable for 2021. Anyone else know of a suitable candidate?
