Members are encouraged to attend Thursday lunch meetings whenever they can. They are an opportunity for fellowship, to hear interesting speakers, and to catch up with our Club activities.

 

 

Each day 9 Kiwis find out they have Bowel cancer and 3 of them will die as a result. 

‘The Gut Foundation’, while based in Canterbury, is very keen to expand its work into the lower part of the South Island. Rotary D9980 has decided to become involved in this programme, which has the potential to save lives of New Zealanders. This has the support of District Governor Nick.
It is envisioned that should our club wish to become involved then there would be a Gut Health awareness day held at local Foodstuffs premises (New World, Pak n Save, Four Square) talking with people, and raising awareness around their gut health. The Gut Foundation has formulated a self-help programme, allowing people to monitor their own gut health, and they have a chart for people to present to their GP
Our Clubs position will be determined by the Board, however President Cameron is keen to gauge members opinions before any decision is made. Please email him direct at camerono@logicgroup.co.nz

Growing Tip #3 When watering: Try to keep foliage and fruit dry unless it’s a sunny day. Dampness will make rot and other diseases more likely.
