Last Meeting
Patrick McKibbin -  Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce 
Patrick McKibbin from the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce gave us an update and review of what business is up to in the Valley, both Upper and Lower Hutt.   It was very refreshing to hear that there is a lot going on out there in business.  As he quoted, "you don't know what's going on behind these roller doors around the Valley".

Environment Committee Riverbank Cleanup Sunday 29th September
On a mild and sunny Sunday morning our group of thirteen collected an assortment of paper, plastic, bottles, cans, polystyrene (and a bike) lying on the banks of the Hutt River between Melling and Ava Railway Bridges.  We finished (as is the tradition) with a get–together over a very fine morning tea.  Thanks to everyone for their help with making this project a success once again.

Parting Thought
 
Glenda provided the parting thought at the end of the evening - 
Be kind to the wishers
Who haven't got wishes
Be kind to the fishers
Who haven't got fishes.
Be kind to beginners
Who haven't got ends
Be kind to the strangers
Who haven't got friends.
Be kind to the walkers who haven't a shoe,
Be kind to the talkers who haven't a clue,
Be kind to outsiders and insiders too
Be kind to the kind confined in the Zoo.
Be kind in your mind and in all that you do,
And you will find that mankind
Will be kinder to you.
Dr Seuss
