As a relief driver for Meals on Wheels I deliver meals anywhere from Petone to Stokes Valley up to five days a week. I get to meet lots of amazing people and see both the good and sad sides of Lower Hutt. I am a volunteer for the Science in Primary Schools program including both Lower and Upper Hutt run by the Hutt City Council. With over 90 kits covering more than 40 topics there is always plenty of replenishing and repairing to do. These hands-on kits cover topics such as Rockets (yes they have been known to land on the school roof), Bones (10 small skeletons can certainly get muddled up), Plants, Bees, Magnets, Electricity, Recycling and many more subjects. I am a member of the Waterloo Probus Club and U3A (University of the Third Age). I enjoy the great speakers at these meetings. I really enjoy my Rotary meetings too. Walking by the sea and gardening are my hobbies.
My greatest pleasure is my big extended family. Lots of fun and laughter and sharing and occasional head shaking. My children and grandchildren are very special to me.
