Lorraine Isaacs gave a wonderful recollection of her 'Lucky Life' at the meeting last Tuesday. 

Lorraine reminisced about her arrival to New Zealand as a young girl, growing up in invercargill, going to Otago University at the age of 16, Masters study in Honolulu, falling in love with a gay monk as well as many other so called 'mistakes'!

Lorraine told us about her fantastic and varied careers mainly in the New Zealand Television industry and roles within the University of Otago.

With her wealth of experience Lorraine has three lessons for life:

If you make a mistake, it can be fixed.

You can get away with almost anything if you are positive!

Whatever you want to do, keep doing it.

Lorraine is an amazing speaker and you could tell she would have entertained us for an entire evening.

After her talk,  Lorraine Isaacs was recognised as an honorary Paul Harris Fellow for her contributions to New Zealand television, Otago University and the community. She is pictured below receiving the award, with Derek and Sue.

 

Lorraine sent a letter of thanks:
