2-minute talk

Kerry entertained us with his description of the New Zealand Law Group Conference he attended in New York with his nephew. We are not sure if he actually made any sessions apart from the dinner on a boat on the Hudson river. He stayed in Times Square and took in the sites of New York and then spent time recuperating in Hawaii on the way home.

Notices

- The Taylor Park fence upgrade is waiting for the Council to work through a process that allows service clubs to carry out the work. Under their regulations we need to be an approved contractor which requires a certain amount of acreditation. Stephen is in dissussion with Andrew Haulage who as an existing approved contractor we may be able to work under.

- Next Wednesday evening ( September 13th ) is a meet the candidates night at the Town Hall. Helpers are required from 6.30pm.

- Ross Pringle and Marty Clark spoke to the Dunedin North Rotary about their time in Vanuatu.

- Stephen Woodhead updated us on the swimming pool/library project. Design is progressing. A flyer will be in the Genesis outlining ways people can support the project.

Evenings Speaker

Carl Schiller (Presiding Member of Milton Primary School Board of Trustees) and Kaela McGregor (Principal) shared the Milton Primary School journey of supporting students and families. Milton Primary School is an effective, proactive school with over 30 strategies to support students in their wellbeing and achievement. The school has a strong staff and a supportive board. Despite these innovative and effective practices, there remains a cohort of the school who require further support within social and emotional needs. Therefore, Milton Primary School has a steering group with key community members who are working with Barnardos to gain funding for a social worker. With over 80 families in the school, this is a great opportunity to start supporting our wider Milton Community. They are seeking support from a range of funders, including Rotary. This could include monetary support, a letter of support, or sharing skills from members to support this process.
