On 12 November, the new movie I Am Woman will start showing in New Zealand cinemas. It’s the story of seventies singing sensation, Helen Reddy. We’re pleased to tell you that I Am Woman is this year’s Polio Movie Event, raising funds for Rotary’s #1 cause and we will be running an event at the Rialto Cinema, at 8:00 pm on Wednesday 21 October 2020.  The great news is that the film distributors have agreed for Rotary to have the exclusive rights to show the movie in New Zealand cinemas during October. Shot in Sydney with a largely downunder cast and crew, the story traces the life of the singer / songwriter from the time she arrives in New York and it includes all her biggest hits. Clearly, arranging gatherings of people in 2020 has a few more challenges than usual! However, with the appropriate measures, we can still do it. This year’s Polio Movie Event is being run as a tribute to Sir Clem Renouf, the RI President for 1978/79 who hailed from Ingham, Queensland. Sir Clem, who passed away on 11th June, was a giant in Rotary’s history and was one of the leading figures in our fight to end polio. So let’s have some fun— and raise lots of funds for polio!

Rotary Dunedin members, along with members of other Rotary clubs, collected at five supermarkets last week as part of Random Act of Kindness Day. Shoppers were generous in their support, with at least 1,000 kg (yes 1 tonne) of groceries (estimated value more than $5,000) passed on to be distributed by KiwiHarvest.
