Stories
Last Week - "4 Way Test" Speech Contest
Contestants Patrick, Tui and Laura
The competition for the 4-Way Speech Competition was held at the club meeting on Thursday 18th February.  There were three entrants: Tui Kaita Marlin and Laura Canton from Logan Park High School, and Patrick Sefo-Cloughley from OBHS.  All three spoke well and their subjects ranged from Feminism to the removal of the statues of historic figures, and the need to care for others and accept differences.  Each of these was addressed with regard to the 4-way test.
Bruce Cowan summed up on behalf of the three judges and announced that the winner was Tui Kaita Marlin.

Duty Roster Coordinator
To allow Cameron to prepare for his forthcoming role as President we require a volunteer to take over the task of maintaining the Duty Roster for club meetings. In the past a spreadsheet has been used but this is not essential (pen & paper would work just as well!). Main duties are to extend the roster each month; and email reminders to the duty team each week.
Anyone willing to consider this position please contact Cameron to discuss.
 
 

Rally Otago 16-18 April 2021

Rally Otago will run on the 3rd weekend in April just 2 months away. We have been asked to marshal the Anzac Ave Super Special so we need around 20 people between the 3 clubs i.e. 6/7 from each club. Normal start time for the stage is 3pm so team leaders need to be in place from 2pm.
Covid will mean there are few if any overseas entries but we can expect a stellar NZ entry with Hayden Paddon running no 1
 
Can we get an indication of numbers by late March & names straight after Easter? Thanks, Peter Jackson

Centenary of Rotary in New Zealand and the South Pacific
The Rotary Clubs of Auckland and Wellington began in 1921 and our club followed in 1923
A  300 page centenary book Mana Tangata - People of Action has been written and is ready to print.  
Mana Tangata - People of Action is a well written and richly illustrated history book, tracing the development of clubs across the country, the people and personalities that led the way, and the service that clubs engaged in with their communities.  It highlights the changing social needs of New Zealand and the Pacific and shows how Rotary responded impressively with imagination and hard work.
Copies will be available for sale soon at $55 per copy plus $10 post packaging and handling per copy.  At a delivered price of $65 per copy this will be cheaper than the recommended retail price of $69.95.  ·      Order on-line at www.offthepress.co.nz from 12th February.
To get an idea of the content/style of the book take a look at: https://www.flipsnack.com/Langstruby/rotary-sample.html
