Well the estary called and only the young, enthusiastic and those filled with vitality turned up. Many thanks to those that did; Ah-Lek and Stephie and Neville and Amelia.
Good progress was made with limited human resouces. This is a long term project so there will be many opportunities for you all to get your 'feet wet'.
The 17th Feb is another suggested date for a follow up visit.
Shelter Box auction
Two wonderful blocks of duty free chocolate from Sandy Jefferies were auction by Andrew H for the shelter box funds and the lucky winner was Andrew M. I must have missed where he shared them out.

Welcome back everyone. We hope that you had a restful, wonderful, dry, rainy, sunny, busy and familiy filled holiday and that you are all 'primed'and ready' for a great 2018 Rotary year.
Once again our Christmas party was a great success. AND as far as the BE knows everybody got home free of speeding/alcohol driving offences.
Some photographic evidence of the Christmas party is below.There will be more (much more) in the next bulletin.
Well atleast Neville was pleased to see me.
Details of the Jumbo Tennis are below. Team members still required. Speak to Ah-Lek. See details below
Remember that Ah-Lek mentioned last year that there is to be another clean-up at the landfil site probably Feb 17th this year. See details below.
Also mentioned by Ah-Lek was the Servants Health Centre interior painting job that we were not able to do earlier this year. Well get a look at the team below who gave up some of their Christmas break to fullfil Rotary's pledge. See picture below
Book Sale 'left-overs'. We need to clear the shop in the not to distant future so energetic strong volunteers needed. Ah-Lek will update us soon.
Andrew H mentioned that the Clubrunner programme not only provides the base for the bulletin but also has many very valuable aps which can make our Rotary lives much more rewarding.

15th February 2018 Jumbo Tennis

This is an excellent team building day for your staff, and the best thing is, all of the proceeds go to charity. The event is organised by the Rotary Club of Dunedin Central and NRG Dunedin with the proceeds going to the Brain Injury Association, The Disabled Citizens Society (Cargill Enterprises) and the Dunedin Night Shelter.
We hope you are able to join us for another great day of team building, fun and fundraising.
Jumbo Tennis will be held on Thursday 15 February 2018.
Event starts at 1.30pm at the Edgar Sports Centre
