Tuesday 22nd August - President Fran's Message:  
Where has  the  week  gone!  It was a week of Rotary catch ups, great skiing at TC (could hardly walk the day after!), frantic fielding of a multitude of emails flying in from Rotary International and District  and wishing happy trips to members taking LOA. The week ended Sunday morning with photographer Andy Woods at a mind boggling Post Processing Workshop. If I get the hang of it then I can see a benefit to the Rotary Club and my business!    

Congratulations everyone! The meal register is looking sharp almost 99.9% accurate with the apologies BUT the deadline is Monday 8pm. Thanks for making the effort.

Listen Up  Pete Barrow (PB) and his team, will produce  a Survey/ Questionaire, related to possible changes in our meeting format.  The compilation will be perused by our  directors for discussion and with some collaboration will be  presented to the members for feedback. As at today's date, PB is waiting on a response from Tony Brown which will help this initiative.  

Coming  up  The Artisan Wine & Cheese evening has 12 tickets sold: there's a great team going to support the Rotary Clubs of Cromwell and Alexandra , 2nd September in Cromwell. Come and support a Rotary function and enjoy the evening. Tickets are available from Tabatha. Don't forget that transport will be available, based on numbers for a nominal cost.  

Tititea Lodge work weekend coming up 16& 17 September, the Duck Race,  21st October and Book Sale 10,11,12 November. The PR team will be upping the anti with regard to advertising our major fundraisers, but don't forget that ‘word of mouth’ works brilliantly.

Thanks to our Sponsors & Supporters for their long term generosity without which we would be unable to hold these fundraising & service projects.  

Upper Clutha Transport, Total Transport Solutions, Stonewood Homes, Harcourts Real Estate, Radcliffe Electrical, Print It , Harraways , Glandovey, Wanaka Storage Solutions

THANK YOU
Hi President Fran and Wanaka Rotarians

Charles and I enjoyed our visit to your club last week. Thank you for your friendly welcome and special thanks to Derek for his special hospitality.

After Charles' skiing collision we visited Central Physiotherapy and found the young Scot lady very helpful. The benefit of less skiing was the opportunity to look around your beautiful area more. We can see why you love where you live. 

If any of you are visiting the Gold Coast we are happy to offer any help you may need. 

Kind regards

Wendy Scarlett and Charles Warrell

GUEST SPEAKERS
 
22nd August (TOMORROW) Guest Speaker  Duncan Boswell - Searching for family in Normandy.
GUEST SPEAKER UPDATE – 15 AUGUST 2017
 
The Club had the pleasure of hosting Douglas Parker from Queenstown.  Doug heads up Grey Power in Queenstown, has a consultancy company Parker Analytics which works with major retail companies here and in this old home country of South Africa as well as running a B&B in partnership with his wife.
Doug is South African by birth and has been permanently in NZ for two years having followed his 3 children who had previously moved here.
Doug has done considerable research as background to his consultancy business on life changes and particularly how in many instances they relate to the retail industry.  The examples of life stages he gave us comprised of 16 five year stages with charts showing among others how average income changes over ones life, shopping habits and employment changes.
He also presented us with a number of personality traits and how they affect ones buying habits.
Following this part of his presentation Doug then promoted the Grey Power movement and it’s advocacy for the over 50’s particularly in the areas of NZ Superannuation, health, energy, human rights, social services, local bodies and law, order and justice.
He also mentioned the recently formed partnership between Grey Power and Pulse Energy – Grey  Power Electricity which is committed to providing members with lower electricity prices and price protection.

George Scott – Travel update
 
We had a magic day today seeing a Rhino mother and her baby while on a game walk. We were able to come within 6 metres of the pair. Mary Scott and I have now seen the big five while only half way through our trip to Africa. We have seen many other animals as well. Tomorrow we start the luxury part of our travels. Mary has survived the camping part.
At one point we were able to sit on top of a hill called the top of the world where Cecil Rhodes is buried and listen to our guide for the day talk about the history of Zimbabwe and enjoy sundowners watching the sun go down.
Our guide today was without question the best guide we have had in Africa. His passion for his animals and the land and the country was outstanding. I learnt so much today about wildlife there interaction the land and plants but also about being a good guide. A day not to forget!
We have now arrived in Namibia and enjoying the scenery, such great scenery around every corner, a photographer paradise.
