Alyssandra Skerrett :The Bloom Effect: How Small Seeds Create Life-Changing Miracles
"I never thought a simple act of service could change the course of my life. But then, one moment, one decision, planted a seed that grew into something beyond what I imagined…
And isn’t that what Rotary is all about? Small acts compounding into a BIG impact. A single idea, a single act of service, a single invitation—can transform lives and communities. But for that to happen, we must continue to nurture, cultivate, and inspire the next generation.
We have invited the Rotary Club of Maungakiekie and member of Rotary Club of Auckland East Rotary Club to join us. Bring partners & friends.

Melanie's Bucket list Update
 
Since I have been asked to update my bucket list, here is the updated list, with some new things added, and I have removed the things I have already done:
- Go to different shows (musicals, concerts or stuff like that)
- Go see a netball game
- Go to the Coromandel
- Go to Lake Taupo
- See as much as the bottom half of the North Island as I can.
Thanks, Melanie
