President's Message January 2023

Kia Ora and happy new year to you all.  We completed last year with a pot luck meal at our place and I think was a pleasant evening.
 
I'm not sure if any are aware but Marty Clark and myself have committed to the Dunedin North Rotary project organised by Les Wilson and others to build a new classroom in Vanuatu this will happen in April and Les was thrilled to get two builders albeit one f them a bit broken down!
 
We are also starting a very busy season with tramping and biking and thankyou all who have committed.
 
Regards Ross P.

First Meeting for 2023
 
New Year greetings to you all.  I hope you have all had some rest and relaxation, and great family time, over the break.
 
Due to the Kink in the Road not being available on 30 January, the first meeting for this year is this coming Monday, 23 January.
 
Please let Kerry know, by mid-day Monday, if you are unable to attend.
