General Notices

* The roster can change weekly with absences etc so please check the roster each week to see if you have a duty.

* Seeking items for the Christmas Dinner Raffle

Just a reminder that President John is seeking gifts for a Christmas Basket to be raffled at our Christmas Dinner on 4 December. Next Monday is your last chance to bring something. So, if you can, a donation/gift/food items would be much appreciated. June will provide a box at the door for your items. Many thanks.

* Election of Future Presidents

A meeting of past presidents will be held after next Monday's meeting to discuss and come up with two candidates for the presidency or the 2025 and 2026 rotary years. Mike Fackney is next year's president-elect. The selections are for the two after Mike. Robin Fenwick was nominated by the club members to represent them at the meeting so if you would like to suggest an ideal candidate please speak to Robin.

* Invitation to Inter-Club Drinks

Rotary Hutt Valley invites all Rotarians to join them for after-work drinks on Wednesday

29 November at the Angus Inn (Pickles Perch Bar) from 5.00pm. This is an informal social event - a chance to catch up and connect/re-connect. If you are intending to go can you let President John know so he can confirm numbers.

* River Valley Rotary Club - Stokes Valley Xmas Parade - Saturday 2 December – Help Required

The parade starts at noon and runs down Stokes Valley Road to Evans Street (Speldhurst Park). It takes 20 minutes, with adjoining roads coned off and manned by club members & volunteers. It would be great if some of our members could assist. The commitment would be about 90 minutes (11am - 12:30pm) with a full briefing and high viz jackets provided. In addition, also a great opportunity to enjoy this Christmas festivity including the marketplace stalls on Speldhurst Park. Mike has already booked 8 River Valley members to help with our Christmas Raffle selling. It would be great if we could reciprocate! Please let Mike Fackney know if you can help.

* Entertainment Books

If you dine out, or go out for coffee, think about getting an Entertainment book. For the first 2 weeks in November, they are giving a 25% discount on a 12 or 24 month membership, and an extra $10 donation to our Rotary Club. They make great Christmas presents. Please contact Anne if you want to take advantage of either of these offers.
