There would be.....
No big business so generously supporting Rotary!
No competitive petrol and diesel available to the public!
A lot of jobs not in town!
The long standing support of the Reid family not happening
AND continuing with storage assistance
AND support of Wheels to Dunstan service for the Upper Clutha residents.

After setting up most of this week's bulletin
Tabatha has headed away on holiday to Fiji for a few weeks.
There were a couple of days selling little & big ducks. Thanks New World & Mitre 10 for the venue and Harcourts, acting as Ticket Sales Agent. A small team of Rotarians worked on Saturday alongside St John recording details and coercing members of the public to have a blood pressure check. It was interesting to note that there were some doctor refferals recommended to participants who had BPs over the norm! The Wanaka Rotary Club - Out there and Doing it and quacking along!

Members who are absent for a meeting (s) but not on Leave of Absence should in the first instance arrange a swap with the member doing the same duty next month. If this is not successful enlist someone else and return the favour later :-)
It's the start of a busy fund-raising season. Planning is well advanced for the Duck Race, Sale of Top Soil and Book sale.
Volunteer assistance is needed with these events. Can you help with any of the following:
1. Duck Race ticket sales
Assistance is required to tow the duck, located at Wanaka Storage Solutions, to each venue and fully inflate for the sales teams each day, and then return to storage.
2. Sale of top soil - Scurr Heights
We have been offered the opportunity by Lane Hocking, the developer, to sell a significant quantity of top soil. It is proposed we do this during weekends in October from 10am until 3pm each day.
George Scott has offered to drive the front end loader. We also require the assistance of 2 or more people each day to collect money from customers.
3. Book sales
The books are being progressively sorted; temporary storage is required in the meantime, to store books until the sale.
Please, if you are able to assist call Ken Goldfinch 021 930 655
Corporate Ducks are now prepped and ready to Swim.
