A stunner of a week - let's get straight into the action: have a read of the Stories Section to catchup.
Stories
Leadership Development
This weekend, our team was involved in one of Rotary's flagship leadership development programs.
 
 
Lucy Chang-Lorenzi, Pam Deal and Byran Theunisen, helped facilitate various workshops over two days at Rotary Leadership Institute. Great stuff.
 
Susan Benedek participated in the two day workshop and graduated with fellow Rotarians from other clubs. Big congrats Susan.
 
Susan will provide a brief overview of her experience and the benefits that other members could gain from attending, at next Tuesday morning's breakfast meeting.

Hanging out with our friends at Rotaract
On Saturday night, our club was represented at the first ever Rotaract National Conference.
 
 
30 Rotaractors from across New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, and Sri Lanka got together for a two day conference to network, share project ideas, and have fun. This was another great opportunity for us to continue supporting the next generaration of Rotary leaders.
 
Big shout out to James Billings for hosting their dinner at the Rydges.
 
James, you the real MVP.

Microfinance with John Boscawen
On Wednesday eve, John had a great presentation to a group of Rotarians from other clubs in our district about the microfinance project in the South Pacific.
 
 
This was a good opportunity to demonstrate to other Rotarians the innovative types of international projects that can be created, and how Rotary Foundation global grants can be used for leverage. Great level of engagement and interest from the other clubs as regards this microfinance endeavour. Well done John, this presentation was a winner.
 
John will recap the presentation at next Tuesday morning's breakfast meeting.

Amazing stuff - great to have you as part of our team now Stewart. We look forward to hearing more about this and other stories at your next speaking slot in the club.
