Thank you to club members who helped transport people from the Airport to Waipuna Lodge and especially Peter for your great organisation skills. The next training event - which we will also need volunteers, is the Leaders Elect Training (LETS), on 6 May 2018, at St Cuthberts College. This is a planning seminar for Presidents Elect and their teams. Clubs need to attend to qualify so they can participate in District and Global Grants. Other points of Interest:- Fiji Conference - 6 - 8 April - there's still time to register. Ingrid hopes to see some projects, like the Rotahomes Village. There may be some opportunities in Fiji, that the club may like to like at participating in. Ingrid also attended the Rotary/Rotaract evening, and thinks it would be good to engage more with our Rotaract clubs more. There are 3 in Auckland and 5 in the Pacific Islands. In May, Ingrid and Jenny Herring will be traveling to Tahiti to run training and to Kiribati. To view the possibility of having a Rotary presence reestablished there and in turn will allow Rotary funded projects, if this happens. This will also be to assess potential projects.
