AH-LEK'S SERGEANT SESSION - as promised
AG Derek K: Heavily fined for many misdemeanors, reference to ‘a goat.’ Thanked for looking after Sir Graham Henry and his contribution to the smooth running of conference. To Be fair, his defence in making reference to “a King and a Knight” was a clever word play….however you had a senior moment and forgot your duty...pay up Mr King.
Adrian H: Thank you for your Sponsorship, well placed table... got a few leads please add to the money pot.
The Allens & Rajesh T: Fined...because they were overseas.
Stephen G: Reference to a legless man?? Extend your arm to your pockets. Sincere thanks for your sponsorship
Andrew H: (from and Editor’s point of view) one hard working man with not enough hours in the day, thanking and acknowledging the amazing amount of work and sheer contribution from one of our own...the DG. If only his financial contribution to the Sergeant’ session could compare to his hours!!!
David B: Thank you for your contribution as a Speaker, fined for happily volunteering Alana to help out the Committee...not always with permission. (On a personal note. thank you Alana for your help over the weekend, decorating and your much needed hugs...Alison Tay gets a thank you here too...great destressing hugs!!)
Grant B: Couldn’t be there, thanks for great money management. Hint of a small profit. Fined cos its the first time in a while.
Bob S: No fine..brought Rosemary, cherished her status within Rotary, her presence...just needed, thank you.
Louise P: Fined for first year in and dragging her husband to conference, however an excellent decision, fitted right in. Thank you for your contribution to the decorating committee.
Graham S: While can be fined for many things a genuine thank you for his guidance, wisdom and first in for sponsorship.
Eleanor A: Fined for being mentioned far too many times in Speakers’ presentations!! Fantastic job hunting out speakers.
Sue M: A hard task putting together the Remembrance Reflection. Delivered with dignity and class.
Robyn L: Thank you for organising the band and the catering. To the decorating committee...you made an incredible venue shine with all the little touches. A huge thank you to Nicole B, Sarah P, Louise P, Robyn C, Alison Tay, Alana Black and Anna Harcus.
Last but definitely not least, President David: It’s a tough year to be President when “DG is in the house” and Conference takes precedent...Thank you for your support. We are now here to get projects up and running.
