Last Meeting
President's Report to Assembly/AGM – 25 November 2024
Like every year, things have been very busy for Board members – overseeing the running of the Club.
 
In my capacity as President, I have attended numerous meetings of the wider Rotary family.
  • 3 Rotary Community Group meetings for Hutt Valley and Wairarapa Clubs.  This is one of the new groups formed under the Regionalisation Project.  It has been useful for making connections, and becoming aware of what other clubs are doing, including their successes, and problems they are facing.  It is hoped that this group will further strengthen Rotary in our District.
  • 4 meetings of the Hutt Valley Lifting the Lid on Youth Mental Health.
  • The District AGM, via Zoom.
  • District Changeover (as president-elect) with Jaye Howey and Robin Aitken.
