At the last meeting we welcomed Guests Ron, Heather, Carol and Barbara.

There was a big THANK YOU our Rotary Group for the help we gave at the recent collection for Child Cancer.
The total collected at Countdown Dunedin South on Friday 17th March was $568.20. This is a fantastic total and will go towards supporting CCF Families locally.
POP UP Shop, run by NRG, need good used clothing and any Bric a Brac for their Pop Up Shop. This will be held on the 9th June so any donations can be brought to club meetings and Susanah will collect. The proceeds will be donated to the charity Parent to Parent.

Last Week's Guest Speaker
Malcolm Wong gave a fantastic, humorous account of his dealings in getting the Chinese Gardens built in Dunedin.
Malcolm, along with former mayor Peter Chin and other colleagues went to great lengths in negotiation with developers, the DCC and our sister city Shanghai. The end result being Dunedin is now home to the only authentic Chinese Garden in the southern hemisphere.
The gardens really put Dunedin on the map with 48 thousand visitors a year. In contrast the sister city of Shanghai gardens welcome 30 thousand a week!
