Janeen Wood, Executive Trustee at Central Otago Queenstown Trail Network Trust

Janeen spoke to Cromwell Rotary on Monday night about the Central Otago Queenstown Trail Network Trust. The awesome trail from Smiths Way to Clyde is the first stage of the trail network which will also link Cromwell to Queenstown & Wanaka.

Following her presentation we were delighted to present Janeen with a PHF award.

Janeen has served the community in many ways but our first common involvement was the Highlands Motorsport Park race days when we helped at the gates and Janeen was a volunteer coordinator.

Serving on the Cromwell and Districts Promotion Group, in 2016 Janeen put aside her reluctance to be in the public eye and stepped up as Chairperson, in a bid to continue the momentum that the group had achieved.

Janeen had also served on the Cromwell & Districts Community Trust, who are the guardians of the community plan. She helped create Connect Cromwell which is an independent and neutral sub-committee to work out how to provide the Trust with better information about the community’s needs and opinions.

We also know Janeen from her long involvement with coordinating the annual lakeside clean up.

Janeen would prefer not to be in the limelight but accepted this award as acknowledgment and thanks for all the work done by herself, and those she works with, to make our community a better place.

District 9980 and Cromwell club changeover

A great night was had at the Canyon venue at Bendigo on Saturday night when both the District 9980 and the Rotary Club of Cromwell changeovers were celebrated.

One hundred Cromwell and District 9980 rotary members, partners and friends gathered to celebrate the completion of the year for Cromwell Rotary President, Pam Broadhead and District 9980 District Governor, Dylan Murray. Unfortunately Dylan and his partner, Rebecca, needed to Zoom in to join us from Waimate due to Covid restrictions.

We welcomed Stuart Heal in as the new Cromwell Rotary President and Nick Wood as the new District 9980 District Governor. Nick is the youngest DG in the world!

Our Lindsay and Mary McIntyre plate, which is presented to the member who best exhibits the spirit of Rotary, was awarded to Sally Angus. A very moving presentation with Sally now living in Wanaka and having been close friends of the McIntyres.

Christine Hansen was recognised for her wide and varied contribution to our community with a PHF award.
