At our last meeting for the 2021-22 year Tom Coudret & Hannah Bisset, who are this years Cromwell College Head Students, gave us a brief overview of their focus for this year. Our connection with Cromwell College is important with youth a focus of our club and it is always great to hear what is happening at Cromwell College
We were also delighted to welcome Pam Hardley as our newest member. Pam is the proud owner of our Lot 47 home and is keen to get involved with all things Rotary.
With many hours spent preparing the area and planting natives at Richards Beach, under the guidance of Fin & his team, the addition of a seat to sit and enjoy the area is welcome by many.
The seat has been donated by Cromwell Rotary’s Honorary Life Member, Andrew Burton, a previous president of the Cromwell Rotary Club. Andrew travelled to Vancouver, Canada, and noticed the city was filled with places to stop and rest while taking a walk. This inspired him to come home and arrange a seating around Cromwell.
The MenzShed have played an instrumental role in ensuring the macrocarpa bench seat is well built and secured into its final place, overlooking Lake Dunstan.
Rotary Point was chosen as an ideal place to erect a seat, due to Andrew being the president of Cromwell Rotary Club in 2017/18. It was during his time as president, that the Rotary International president put out a challenge for each club to plant 55 trees, Cromwell Rotary planted 400.

For the past three years a group of Rotarians and Rotaractors have been working on a pilot project to consider how we can enhance Rotary and Rotaract and ensure we remain relevant for the future while also addressing some of the challenges we have been facing for a while. If you would like to find out more there is information available on the dedicated website, creatingtomorrowrotary.org along with the opportunity to “Have your Say” and “Subscribe” to updates. There will also be opportunities to volunteer and get involved in work groups.

Another "Guess Who is Coming to Dinner" event was held on Monday the 30th of June. Thanks Adrienne for this well organised event and thanks to the club members who raised $500 to donate to Cromwell's Care and Friendship Group.

A few hardy Rotarians braced the very cold conditions to bike to Highlands recently to raise funds for Pink Ribbon day and remember women affected by breast cancer. The coffee, cheese rolls and muffins helped thaw our fingers before visiting the Loo with a View prior to our return ride home.
Looking very happy with their efforts are Pam Jackie, Adrienne, (kneeling by the way), Neroli, Lorraine and Cathy.
