Boyne gave us the rundown. Puddings also available.

                

 This year the Community & Environment Committee is again offering members the opportunity to purchase Aotea Bakery Xmas Mince Pies. Last year we had a trial with a dozen packs which were well received by members. This year we are asking those members who generously supported this project last year to put their hands up again, and we are encouraging all members to purchase one or more packs for your family, staff and friends and we also have the opportunity to again support the Salvation Army Xmas Hampers project.   

 

This year there are 8 Mince Pies in each pack, and the packaging again has a Xmas theme as shown in accompanying photo. The price per pack to members is $ 14.50, and this includes a margin of $5 per pack which will go toward club community projects.    Last year the trial project went well. With your support we can make this another successful Xmas project and fundraiser for this year and years to come.

 

Rotary Xmas puddings are also available. The price to members is $23.00 each, and this includes a margin of $5 per pack which will go toward club community projects.

This year on 16^th December 2023 the club will again be packing Xmas Hampers with the Salvation Army at Royal Oak.  Members can purchase additional packs of Xmas Mince Pies or Rotary Xmas Puddings which will be donated to the Salvation Army to go into Xmas Hampers.  When ordering, please indicate how many are for yourself and how many you are ordering for the Salvation Army.

 

Please contact Boyne at bhd@xtra.co.nz to put in your order, payment of your orders will be processed through your account by Richard and Carmen.   

 

 

 

Asel reminded us of the Breaking Barriers Disability Day, supported By Rotoract:

 

14 OCTOBER 2023

10AM TO 4.30PM

GLEN TAYLOR INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL

172 WEST TAMAKI ROAD

GLEN INNES, AUCKLAND 1072

 

Every person should have the opportunity to be able to challenge themselves in a safe environment. Disability should not be a barrier to new experiences and interactions with other young adults. Through sport, fun activities and speakers, this Day Camp is an opportunity to improve self-confidence and enhance self-development and the opportunity to meet and make new connections. For participants and young leaders, it will also provide the valuable opportunity to connect with

peers you may otherwise have not met.             

Contact Asel if you are interested in going.
