Rotary President Craig Lunn took huge pleasure this week in presenting Dave Anderson, St John Manager, with a cheque for $15000 towards the St John rebuilding project in Cromwell. $13,500 came from the recent Rotary organised House and Garden tour, and Rotarians decided to top it up to $15000 with funds they've raised from other recent projects.
Both Craig and Dave once again thanked all participants in, and sponsors of, the tour, as well as the most important people of all, the 12 home-owners who made it all possible.
The second tour is expected to be held in the latter part of 2019. Home-owners who'd like to offer their homes as part of the itinerary are most welcome to contact Rotarian and House and Garden Tour Committee chair Paula Jackson on 0275 725 457

Cromwell Rotarians joined in the social activities at the town's new Lifestyle Village. With over 70 people now living at Golden View, we rocked up with food and BBQ skills to join them in a few ends of bowls, lots of chat and the occasional wine and beer of course. It was a gloriously sunny evening so lots of laughter and general enjoyment ensued. And who won the bowls ?? Well let's just say there was a range of skills on display !! 
The sun shone on the 250+ visitors who participated in the weekend's house and garden tour of Cromwell and surrounding areas. In a well orchestrated tour, participants were given maps which directed them around the 12 homes in a steady stream meaning that crowds did not build up in one place and people had plenty of time to wander round each home and garden.
Leader of the organising team Rotarian Paula Jackson was delighted with the success of the day. 'We could not have done it without the huge generosity of the 12 home-owners and the willingness they showed to open their homes to the passing parade of interested ticket-holders. It means that all the ticket money will be going to St John for their new building."
She estimates that the proceeds will be in the vicinity of $13,000 and sincerely acknowledges the home owners as well as all the local businesses who sponsored all other elements of the tour.
Please email Paula with any feedback
