Stories
Auction Night
What a lovely evening we had on Monday 4 November at our Auction Night.
Our President Jackie produced a wonderful meal which we shared together before Tiff and his David ran the auction.
There were some great items for auction and some hearty bidding.  Not only did we get to take home some great spoils, we also raised money for the Polio  Plus initiative.  Due to the smaller number of attendees, we have held over some of the higher value prizes until the new year.
A special thank you to Jackie for all her preparation and hard work.
District Conference 2020
District Conference 2020 is a conference with a difference and our South Otago communities are are going to benefit!

In keeping with the ‘people of action’ catch cry and the year’s theme ‘Rotary connects the World’ It is timely to introduce a project day. By making use of the people resource of attendees, coupled with an agreed funding amount we will be able to benefit our community agencies and organisations and raise the profile of Rotary.

The organising committee is keen to make this a grass roots style conference that is family friendly and very affordable. Rotarians are encouraged to bring children, including grown up ones, and grandchildren along to show how they are making a difference.

Rotarians from all around District 9980 will be involved in carrying out projects in our communities.  Both Milton Rotary and Balclutha Rotary have put forward funding to support projects ranging from painting at a child care centre, planting trees, digging gardens and making curtains, to name a few.

Lots of person-power is required to help make this a success.  The cost of the conference is being kept to a minimum and a programme is also being developed for children under 15.

What is needed now is for Rotarians to register - lots of hands are needed for this to be a success, and our town is definitely going to benefit.  Here's the link to the online registration - https://www.rotary9980conference.org/pre-register-now 

Let's get a great representation from the Rotary Club of Milton!  Register online now!
