Last Meeting
Rebecca Routhan - Te Omanga Hospice
Posted by David Gledhill
Rebecca is the Community and Events Programme Manager at Te Omanga Hospice.  Our club had worked with Rebecca as she organised the recent charity golf tournament and she gave an outline of what organising the tournament involved, of the wider work of Te Omanga and the need for funds.  Rebecca was born in the Hutt Valley and was once a primary school teacher before she joined Te Omanga, and had an interest in the performing arts.  In spite of this background she professed to be nervous as this was the first address of this nature she had given, but her concern was unmerited as she gave a very fluent and interesting account of the tournament's organisation and the wider issue of working with the community.
