President Kathy's Final Report
Presidents report for 2022/2023
The new Rotary year got off to a wonderful start with the celebration of the Clubs 60th anniversary with a dinner held at the Boulcott Heritage Farm Golf Club on 29th June.  What a wonderful evening of reminiscing.  John Prendergast (Past District Governor of District 9980 and current President of Petone Rotary Club) was a highly entertaining MC and had us laughing for most of the evening.
It was a real pleasure to award the latest of Paul Harris fellowships to an ex-member of our club Sir John Clarke and to present Jenny Jameson a Rotary Foundation Major Donor pin and crystal, in recognition of Michael’s generous gift to the Foundation.

Shelley's Report on Healthy in the Hutt
A big thanks to our helpers - 
 
Mike, Paul, Kathy, Absie, Jan, Glenda, Christine, Tony, Jenny and Brian Klee.
 
A huge thanks to Mike and Paul who spent hours in the kitchen heating up the soup.
 
Thanks to everyone who donated goods for the draw.  The winners were a family who really appreciated the prize.  
 
Further thanks to Kathy and John Matthews for printing out the flyers, John Vile for the signage and Mike and Paul for putting the sign up and taking it down.
 
A special thank you must go to Julia Milne and her team from the He Puawai Trust who made the delicious chunky vegetable soup and to Countdown for the rolls and boxes of fruit.
 
Finally a big thank you to the staff at Walter Nash Stadium who helped us with the set up and then had a major clean up job at the end as the bread rolls were super crusty and crumbs were everywhere.
