June is Rotary Fellowships Month
Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion (e.g. 4x4, Amateur Radio, Cricket). Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience. www.rotary.org/en/our-programs/more-fellowships
Bruce spoke about "The worlds deadliest garden", the Poison Garden at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, England. After pondering whether this could be replicated as a tourist attraction here in Dunedin, he concluded by assuring the club that a salad of lawn daisies, dandelions and clover would be perfectly edible.

Did you know that in 1932, Rotary International president Sydney Pascall, of the confectionary family, planted an oak in the Dunedin Botanic Gardens as a symbol of friendship (p59)? I wonder if it's still there...

Please print this out, and use it as an opportunity to invite friends, colleagues, neighbours, professional contacts, in fact anyone who may be interested
