 President Leigh Marshall

 
 
 
 
Rotary works in mysterious ways  – a perusal to the recently-issued (better late than never) 9920 District Directory shows that I am not only President of Remuera Rotary, but also of Suva Peninsula Sunset Rotary Club, where my name has been changed to Tirath Sharma! Maybe I nipped over there during our lockdowns!
 
I think we got off lightly at last Monday’s meeting when our guest speaker was Patrick Girard. I thought he was going to put us individually through some logic challenges, like when you have a coloured sticker on your forehead and you have to guess what colour is on your own forehead. He was a dynamic speaker and I would think his university lecture rooms would be full.
 
The address by Paul Goldsmith on Monday should also be interesting, now the budget has been released, so come along and hear what he has to say. Please remember to check Remoirs for duties and arrange a stand-in if needed.

Patrick gave us many examples of the interpretation of 'logic' but this is my favourite:

Rotary District 9920 Conference Invitation
24th - 25th June 2022
Te Papa, Wellington
 
 
On behalf of DG Steve & Edith, & the Rotary Club of Manukau Sunrise Inc, it is my pleasure to invite you to our inspiring D9920 Matariki Conference in Te Papa Wellington 24th – 25th June 2022.
 
Our website for our conference is now live,
 
We have an amazing lineup of keynote speakers, from various industries, who will be a mixture of in person & virtual.
 
Two full Conference days filled with the chance to re-connect with old friends, plus make new ones, as we come together in our capital city.
 
Our evening events will also be packed with much fun & laughter. Friday night will be our “Rotary’s Got Talent” evening, hosted by Rotary Club of Auckland South Inc, so start getting your club organized, as 2 lots of $1000 up for grabs for the most talented club. Even better still, as not performed at Te Papa, but done in your own backyard, all clubs in District 9920 Inc, can send in a video, & be in to win. Saturday evening will close our amazing conference in style, as hosting our “Shining Stars – Gala Dinner” A chance for all to dress up & dance the night away. As it is our first celebrated Matariki long weekend, come early to see the sights, or play in our District Golf Tournament, or stay longer to enjoy the Wairarapa countryside.
 
Flights are still very reasonable, but would recommend getting in early. As we are now in Covid traffic light Orange, this lifts our ability to have 350 people able to attend. Plus we have a virtual option, which is unlimited.
 
We are leaving you to sort your accommodation, but have a list of Hotels & Motels that are close to Te Papa on the Conference website. Be in quick to secure your spot, as you want to be in the first 200, just in case….. (you never know what our Govt will do…..) Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions re Conference as I have a great committee working on this to make it an amazing conference for all.
