Hi to Those whom we haven't seen for a while nice to have you back. Our Guests this morning were:- Alisa Roche - Lynda's guest and Mike - from KYND our Speaker on the day. It was great to have Malena back, our Exchange Student from Argentina, who did a great job on Door Duty. Rotary Announcements Fiji was great - we have come back with some good ideas from networking with other clubs. Luckily we got back just before the stormy weather back here in NZ and also before another cyclone hit Fiji. Next years Conference in Napier - Ingrid confirmed Accommodation options are currently being worked on and it will be a great city to host the Conference, especially with a wide range of activities available, Golf, Wineries, Art etc. ********* David Cairns and our guest speaker this morning, Mike Brewer, who is part of the KYND Wellness Health and Wellbeing project gave us an overview and update to the app. This is also a follow-up from Dr Tom Mulholland's initial introduction to KYND. Everyone may have received a letter from David explaining the finer points and benefit to Parnell Rotary as a business and everyone on an individual basis. More to follow. ********* The Leaders Elect Training (LETS), on 6 May 2018, at St Cuthberts College. Some of us have put our hands up to assist - just a few more jobs to be allocated, so please can you let Ingrid know, as Colleen is off to Australia for a couple of weeks. ********* Request for good secondhand (leather) shoes for Epsom Lodge Residents - From Julie McAvoy Captain Eric Turner, who manages Epsom Lodge has asked if any members would be willing to donate second hand shoes to Epsom Lodge Residents.
