Great to see Annemarie back and with us. This was a great opportunity for Sandra to share with the club the citation that we have been awarded. many thanks to Sandra for all the work she did in pulling this together. The citation reflects the hard work and contribution of the club to the community and also acknowledges the effort and support of the club President to enable us to reach these achievements. many thanks to Annemarie during her time as president - and no pressure Shirley but we are aiming for Gold apparently this year - so the pressure is on. 

 

 

Just a quick update - we have managed to raise enough to send yet another young person who would not otherwise have been able to go on to Outward Bound / Spirit of Adventure programme. If you know of another young person who would benefit from this experience aged between 16-18years then please let Vic know. 

Marieke gave a thought provoking talk about her recently completed PhD research into refugee crisis and resettlement in Aotearoa and assumptions circulating in society.

 

A cross Cultural psychologist Marieke shared her passion for work with refugees and her work alongside the Red Cross.

The Countdown has begun!!

• Encourage your friends, family or business contacts to make up a team of 4 and join us on the day. Entry is only $70 per player, which includes your round of golf, a two course dinner, and guaranteed prize. See Kevin for an entry form.
• Businesses can still sponsor a hole for $440 + GST. This entitles them to a team of 4 players, dinner for 4, and the opportunity to promote their business.
• We are still on the lookout for suitable prizes. The better the prizes, the more likely we are to get golfers back next year. What can your company / contacts offer? We are also looking for suitable items to include in our auction.
• If you are not a golfer but are available to help on the day, please offer your services. We can find a task for everybody!

 

 

 

Whilst we meet regularly, there is no guarantee that we get to meet everyone that attends our meetings. So, we thought we would take this opportunity to introduce - or reintroduce a club member.
