I have the exciting task of promoting our District Conference to be held at the amazing Sofitel Resort on Denarau Island, Fiji, from Friday 6th April 2018 through to Sunday 8th April.
Knowing that some of you already are thinking and planning your next year’s travel, I thought it timely to slot in these dates for you to consider. As you all know, the Pakuranga Rotary has a very good record for winning the attendance trophy and this time we have a huge bonus as travel distance comes into the formula. Conferences are always a highlight on the Rotary calendar for great fellowship, fun, and the opportunity to meet other Rotarians and partners from other clubs in our district. Obviously, attendees may well want to extend their pre-winter holiday by staying on another island before or after the conference. Remember that our NZ dollar actually buys FJD$1.37.
Hope you can attend the Conference and support President Dave and Liz.
Followingthis article in the paper, we have been asked by room 7 at Riverhills to help fill the emergency grab bags to be given to 100 families in our community.
Could Rotarians help by donating boxes of matches, dust / face masks, wee bottles of hand sanitizes, or toilet paper. These can be brought to Rotary next week and given to any member of the youth committee. We are also looking for a supply of those tiny torches that do not require a battery....does any one know where the school can get them at a reasonable price ?
On 11 November help celebrate two organizations’ shared vision for peace and highlight the critical humanitarian activities that Rotary and the UN lead around the world.
The event also honors people who make a positive difference in their community, their country, or around the world. Each year, about 1,000 guests attend.
Vodafone has announced it will close its email accounts on 30 November. This includes all email addresses ending in vodafone.co.nz, vodafone.net.nz, ihug.co.nz, paradise.net.nz and clear.net.nz.
Vodafone is encouraging customers to sign up for a Google Gmail or Microsoft Outlook email address and is offering an auto-forwarding service.
If you are one the 250,000 or so people who have been relying on a Vodafone, Clear or Paradise email address, then you will need to get a new email address and update ClubRunner so you still get the Pakuranga Rotary bulletin.
