If you can spare a couple of hours please text Lisa-Maree 027 2304 611 or email lmfkjs@xtra.co.nz - it would be helpful to know when people are available / how long they can helpout for planning of working bee stations If you can help out with bringing a wheelbarrow, shovel and or rake this would be great If you want to help but shovelling or wheelbarrowing is not something you can assist with - please connect with Lisa-Maree to discuss other tasks that may fit. |

My Experience at the Rotary National Science and Technology Forum
Apr 16, 2024
My name is Holly Goble and I am currently a Year 13 student at Southland Girls’ High School. At school I am one of a group of 11 amazing prefects and this role is one that I have taken on wholeheartedly. My academics are an area in which I pride myself, which is why I am coming to share my experiences at the latest Rotary National Science and Technology Forum. Outside of school I am a member of the Waihopai Rowing Club. This sport has been a part of my life for the last 4 years, and even with the 8 trainings a week, it remains as my passion |

Following the sale of the Rotary Dream Home in 2018 – a committee made up of representatives of each Rotary Club have been working on the follow-on project to establish two units for the Breathing Space Southland Trust (BSST) to use as emergency accommodation.
The project is back on track with completion targeted for end of June 2024, after encountering challenges due to Covid-19, followed by building supplies issues and consent delays.
The units have now been secured on piles at the Conyers Street location. Drainage, electricity, and water connections have been installed with internal plumbing, and Heat Pump Installation underway.
The remaining work to complete the project involves fencing, landscaping, painting of units and construction of the deck is being split between the Club’s with Club Member Ross co-ordinating our Club’s contribution.
Ross is looking for support with deck construction on Friday 26th April 2024 from 9.30am and again on Saturday 27th April from 9am.
If you can assist, please contact Ross 021-333-363

Good Guise Cheese
May 07, 2024
‘Good Guise’ – Roger & Julie Guise In 2014 we converted our farm to dairy as part of our farm succession plan. Struggling with the impact of the slump in dairy prices, we looked at what was in our hand and how we could add value to it. An Indian immigrant family approached us to source milk to manufacture paneer as it was unavailable in New Zealand. That this product was unavailable in New Zealand seemed implausible to us but after 6 months of research we agreed; everything we could find was either frozen imported Indian product or a milk powder substitute. This is a fascinating story which Roger and Julie will explain in more detail at our Rotary meeting on 7 May.
