Community & Member Activity
Wine Tasting Evening Friday 19 August 
This event is primarily to enable the Club to raise funds for new medical equipment for the Regional Children's Hospital in Wellington. It is also a time for fellowship and fun for members and friends.  During the evening there will be an opportunity to taste a range of great Wairarapa wines from the 8 vintners present; eat some finger food; buy a raffle or two and bid in an auction.
 
To make this a successful evening for all involved the organising committee needs your help.  Tickets to attend need to be sold, we have constraints on numbers so first in first served.  If you require tickets, please contact Linda Goss-Wallace.  Entry is by ticket only.  Payment for tickets is to the Eastern Hutt Rotary Trust account.

Membership Report
Membership Report to the Club Forum – 20th June 2022
First and foremost, we are delighted to have Eve Boa join us recently, having transferred from the Rotary Club of Levin.  It’s also very pleasing to witness the way a few of our members have gone out of their way to make her feel welcomed – thank you, it’s a collective duty.
 
We found a champion to lead the establishment of a Satellite Club, i.e. Vanessa Koening.  She introduced herself to the potential candidates.  It’s my vision that having a young and enthusiastic group actively working with us is the way forward.  As we all age, we cannot do some of the activities we once did, but we can help them with those causes their generation are passionate about.  With an average age over 70, this is how Eastern Hutt Rotary will survive longer – let’s ‘pass the baton’ and let them lead the way into the future.
