Eastern Hutt - heaps on the go!


Meeting in a local cafe, the Eastern Hutt Board outlined to me their plans - Ruchi continues to be a real focus, along with work with local schools, looking at vocational opportunities and becoming excited over the opportunities to work closely with other Clubs, both locally and over seas.  Then off to Avalon Pavilion.  Warmth, laughter, Indian costume and lively discussion met Jenny and me as we walked into the room.  President Deane lead a meeting that included cultural dance, a Paul Harris Fellow (Judy Dearsely), recognising a sponsor for the latest meeting and much, much more.  PDG John Cole was present to introduce the PHF for Judy, Bill Day was present from Port Nicholson as well as Judy's sister.  A great meeting and an opportunity to accept the challenges of another Rotary year.  And they may be the first 100% Centurion Club!
