You might have heard of Cheeseman as a surname but maybe not Cheese? It's an English surname name given to the 'big cheese', i.e. someone who was a cheese maker, while Cheeseman (says Google) was more likely to be a seller of cheese. At the entrance to the impressive Richardson Building at the Otago University there is a plaque to commemorate the namesake of the building, Major Sir John Larkin Cheese Richardson, who played an active role in politics, social work and education in Otago during the gold rush days of the 1860s. You can read more about him at Toitu's website click here:

 

The volunteer team will 
•    Erect a Gazebo & dismantle it afterwards  
•    Set up trestle’s and support KDB's team
•    Listen to the Speeches and planting Demo 
•    Support people planting – Bring a spade 
•    Help with fitting weed mats, plant guards, stakes and mulching generously around the trees.

Tidy up and pack the Gazebo.

 

This will be an intercommittee event to give us the opportunity for fellowship above and beyond lunch meetings. It's a chance to catch up, chat, share news and discuss Rotary, while enjoying some inter-committee competition via fun activities (the inter-committee club challenge trophy will come out!).

It will be held in the early evening (5-7.30pm approx) so we can share a little bit of kai. Friends and family welcome. We have a home host! Location Vauxhall, so nice and easy to get to. Food and drinks will be 'bring a plate' one from each committee, and 'byo'.

Please Contact Anna Thomas to RSVP (027 551 1975, anna.thomas@raywhite.com) by 27 May.
