President Cameron gave a brief Who am I this week, foolishly revealing a love of the Spice Girls, cats and also speaking about how he came to find Rotaract and later Rotary.
Mike Hesson has agreed to speak at Dunedin South Rotary Club’s lunch meeting on Wednesday 21 July. This is an open invitation to you and our club members. Those attending would need to RSVP to Norm Sparrow, email norspar55@gmail.com by 17 July. Arrive at Otago Golf Club upstairs in the clubrooms by 11.45am. Lunch is $20 for a two course meal, pay cash to the person on duty and you will be seated at 12noon. You would be able to leave by 1.15pm. It is a rare opportunity to have Mike available to share his story. A great motivational speaker.

People of Action
Copies of this new book detailing the history of Rotary in New Zealand and the South Pacific are now available for purchase from Past-President Gordon
(Special Price = $40.00 due to the club agreeing to purchase in bulk).
Although published to document the history of Rotary locally, there are references to some interesting "highlights" from the world scene! Did you know that the Vatican issued a decree in 1929 against Catholic priests participating in Rotary on the basis of its perceived links to Freemasonry? Rotary International took up the issue with the Vatican and it lifted the ban, much to the relief of Roman Catholic Rotarians p.47

Rotary Subscriptions and Foundation contributions
The Board has agreed that the member subs for this year will be set at $160. This is an increase from previous, but the optional Rotary Foundation contribution will be removed and we will look to fund this by alternative means. President Cameron will be sending out a survey to members seeking their feedback on options for this.

Please print this out, and use it as an opportunity to invite friends, colleagues, neighbours, professional contacts, in fact anyone who may be interested
Derek King has agreed to be our speaker this Thursday.
He is going to talk about Cargill Enterprises- what they do, and what impact Covid-19 has had on their business - and will also say some things in his role as District 9980 Membership and Development Convenor.
This will be his very last talk about Cargill Enterprises as he is shifting to a new and exciting role at the end of the month, in a different location and with very different challenges.
The five week roster is the most accurate and members are urged to check the Duty Roster webpage regularly. Club Management Group.
