DISTRICT GOVERNOR’S INTRODUCTION
Rotary aims to involve young leaders and professionals to increase our impact, expand our reach, enhance participant engagement and increase our ability to adapt. At the heart of this is your Rotary Club connected to communities through projects. We have a wealth of tools, an abundance of connections and many inspirational examples to select from when deciding how best to focus our energies. We know we cannot do everything but equally we know we must choose and do the right things well.
Our clubs must better engage all members, develop a participant-centred approach to deliver value and offer new opportunities for personal and professional development. We need to improve our ability to measure our impact. It sounds like a lot. Much of it we are already doing well.
Although we have a vast menu of projects and programmes to choose from we have only so much time and energy. To be truly successful we must always be looking for new ways to build better community connections and to find more realistic ways to engage young professionals. Our challenge is to find the right menu of projects to help build a better future. For the next 18 months, Rotary District 9940, along with the five other Districts in New Zealand and the South Pacific, will be celebrating 100 years of Rotary in our part of the world. In New Zealand all 250+ clubs whakapapa to just two clubs; the Wellington Rotary Club and the Auckland Rotary Club. These matua clubs are right behind the Mana Tangata - People of Action programme writing our centenary history. The two matua clubs, along with UNICEF are the champions for the Rotary Give Every Child a Future Project in the Pacific. This programme will immunize 100,000 children in the South Pacific against three serious diseases.
The planting of native trees is another big initiative for the next few years. Rotary has been tree planting for decades of course. Soon we will see forests of commemoration, forests of remembrance and Te Wa Nui o Tane expanding.
All of us, can model in our words and behaviour the values of continuity and cooperation by linking last year’s and this year’s Rotary themes: “Be the Inspiration” and “Rotary Connects the World”. Come to our District 9940 Conference to be held at the Lower Hutt Events Centre from 1-3 May, 2020. Rotary Connects the World -Together We Connect Ko Tātou Tātou e John

Nov 09, 2019 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location:
A gravel road entrance to the Hutt river is approx. 200m from the Northern end of Harcourt Werry Drive. If you go into Taita Drive, you have gone too far. Parking is along the left-hand side of the road and free from bikes whizzing past.
Please bring along the following:
A large fork, a shovel and a rake. If you have a wheelbarrow that would be appreciated. We only need about 4 first time. Working gloves and footwear. Hat, sun glasses, sun cream, and a bottle of water. If it is windy, glasses will be required.
The work on the first day will concentrate on removing the weeds from the area. Mulching will follow on the 2nd day. If someone has a good powerful lawn mower there is a job for it on both days. It is easy cutting. Please call me to discuss.
I have a first-aid pack but I need one more, please. For those who have a delicate back it will be good exercise if you work within your capacity.
If it is raining and blowing the day will be cancelled. Let’s all hope for a fine day and fun
