New Lilliput Library
A New Lilliput library was put up in Cromwell last week for children to have ready access to books at anytime.
The little library is located outside the Kidsfirst erly childhood centre, facing onto the greenway there. Anyone can take a book from, or put a book into the library.
 
Nicola Brown is a teacher at Kidsfirst and a Wanaka Rotarian is instigator of this project with the children at Kidsfirst, who decorated the libray and helped to stock it with the first selection of books.
Thank you to Richard Broadhead from our Rotary club who made sure that the library was attached firmly to the fence and at the right height for little people to be able to see the books easily.
PHF for Lesley Ann Wilkie
It was with great pleasure that Pam Broadhead and Neroli McRae awarded Lesley Ann Wilkie a PHF at her home recently.
Together with Lindsay, Lesley Ann has been involved in sorting books for the Rotary booksales and helping customers with their book choices for many many years.
She has specialised in sorting the childrens selection but her careful eye for quality books and good systems has always been of benefit to all the organising team.
This award not only recognises these efforts but also the many other ways in which Lesley Ann works diligently behind the scenes for groups and members of the Cromwell and Clyde communities.
In becoming a Paul Harris Fellow, Lesley Ann joins a remarkable company of persons throughout the world, all recognized for their devotion to the ideal of good will, peace and understanding.
We congratulation you Lesley Ann and thank you for your committment to Rotary and your community.
 
Tree Planting at Rotary Point, Richards Beach.
On Saturday the 23rd of April Cromwell Rotarians were joined by Rotarians from across the lower South Island as we came together to complete a project that should have taken place during our annual conference, which had to be cancelled due to Covid restrictions.
Some 50+ Rotarians got to work planting 220 native trees in an area at Richards Beach alongside the cycle trail.  Cromwell Rotary has adopted this section of the Mōkihi Reforestation Trust’s wider plantings at Richards Beach.
After many weekends getting the site ready for the plantings, it was great to see this project take place.  A wide variety of native trees were planted in a few short hours on Saturday, proving many hands make light work.  Cromwell Rotary looks forward to seeing how this area will develop as the trees grow in the years ahead.
Many local business have also come onboard to support the project with donations of their time and services.
A huge thank you those business supporters, Matt Wilson of Crom-Dig, the teams at HireKING, Farmlands, Nichols Garden Group, Pukerau Nursery, Otago Polytech, Burn Cottage Nursery, Cromwell Fire Service.
A special thank you goes to Barbara Armstrong of the Mōkihi Reforestation Trust, and Cromwell Rotarian project leaders Fin White and Alan Lloyd.
