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.

Lastly a reminder that names are still required by the 10^th of November 2021 for Tania Lowery celebration on the 25^th November 2021 in Balcutha.

Dates to remember

Directors meeting: 15^th November 2021

Otago Youth Adventure Trust AGM: 16^th November 2021

Milton Rotary AGM: 29^th November 2021

Have a good week, and be safe out there.

Regards,

Colin Calteaux

40^th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Steve and Wendy McLay celebrated their 40^th Wedding Anniversary on 2 October. They were joined by their children and grand-children on Saturday 4 October – the first time the whole family has been together for some time. Congratulations to them both.

Milton Rotary Club History Night

Tiff shared with the club information about the very rich history of the club, much of which is stored in boxes and cases at his place. He is keen to have a night where we delve into the history so we can all learn more about the contribution and journey of the Rotary Club of Milton.

I found these photos that show a little of the modern-day history:

Balclutha Rotary Club visit

The Balclutha Club have organised a site visit to McLay Boats on Thursday 30 September at 6.30pm. They have asked the Milton rotary Club members to organise a barbeque as part of that visit. Tiff is organising the meat – please let him know if you can help out.

Tautuku Combined Rotary Club Working Bee – 16/17 October

A group of Rotarians will descend on Tautuku Youth Adventure Camp on 16^th and 17^th of October to complete a range of maintenance tasks. As well as carrying out this community service, this is a great opportunity to mix with fellow Rotarians from three or four other clubs.

Colin is collecting names. Whether you can come for the weekend, or just for a day, please let Colin know.

Speed Signs for Milton

Concern about the speed that much of the traffic coming into Milton travels, especially near the bridges, has led to Jim Murdoch and Stephen Woodhead investigating having electronic speed signs installed in the town.

Catering for Rotary President Elect Training Day

President Elect training, for a cluster of the 9980 incoming presidents (will be the new District 9999 by the time they come into office), is to be held in Milton on Saturday 6 November at the Tokomairiro High School. Tanya Lowry has asked our Rotary Club to organise the catering for the event. Glenis has met with Tanya and she is happy for the lunch session to be a BBQ. There will be up to 25 people attending the training.

Please let Glenis know if you are available to help - unfortunately Jackie, Glenis and Suzie are all out of town that weekend.

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?
