This Rotary year has been challenging. 
 
Until it is safe for us all, we are back to Zoom meetings, but that is no barrier for Rotary.  In the last month, among other things, the Club has:
a. Learnt that the 50th anniversary sculpture project is continuing – thanks to this team;
b. Facilitated planting days for our Trees for Survival Schools – thanks Peter Taylor (Community Committee);
c. The Rotary Raffle has been launched – thanks Fund raising under  Sylvie Wilkinson’s leadership;
d. The Auxiliary club helped with ERKs packing – thanks Trish Plowright and her team;
e. Learnt that Tamaki River Festival, with slightly reduced funding, will happen next year  (Community Committee under  Linda Agnew’s leadership) ;
f. Started planning for Top Schools in March next year – Youth Committee under Trish Plowright’s leadership.
 
This year we have reintroduced committees.  This is where the work of the club happens.  Not everyone has joined a committee. There are vacancies in:
 
Youth  contact either,  
Trish Plowright trish@elmpark.school.nz the committee chair or
Nick Loseby her deputy nick.loseby@gmail.com 
 
Community contact Linda Agnew linda  aggi04@gmail.com
 
Finally, a special thanks to Don Lawry and the Club Management Committee for their rapid responses to the lockdown changes.
 
Keep safe.
