COMMUNITY PROJECTS

INTERNATIONAL

We are professional people who have joined together, sharing our skills and expertise for the benefit of our community. Joining Rotary connects you with leaders from all continents, cultures and occupations, people like you and me who want to give back. Take a look around. Are you are ready to make positive changes in your community?

Park Lane Studio Visit

Join us to visit Lane Street Studios on Thursday the 8^th of September at 4 pm at the security gate.

Lane Street Studios is a newly completed $53M film and TV production facility set up to cater for large international screen projects. Lane Street was the original brainchild of rotary Member Rod Evans and Rod and his family have funded the facility through to completion. Lane Street will provide at least 600 new jobs for the film sector and a wide range of opportunities to all of the ancillary sectors required to house, feed, transport and entertain this large influx of cast and crew to our region.

Hear from Rod Evans and Kristy Grant (CEO of Lane Street) about the journey to complete this world-class and world-leading facility.

Following the Tour, we are meeting for a meal at Boneface in Brewtown which is just around the corner from the Lane Street Studios

The Studios are at 32 Lane Street, Wallaceville Upper Hutt and Boneface is at 27 Blenheim Street, Maidstone.

Tree Planting on the Hutt River Pathway

Perfect weather and a lot of fun mixing and mingling with some nice people, and we planted over 200 trees. And the big bonus of the day was Barry and Lorraine's morning tea. Thank you all.

17 August Meeting -Change of Venue

Our regular Wednesday meeting on 17 Aug will be held at Boulcott Farm with the Hutt City club. NOT at the Angus Hotel.

We will be hearing more about the Rotary Regionalisation plan. Changes are afoot!

Those attending please contact Jo for catering purposes.

Catchup Calendar

The editor's apology for the late distribution of the Bulletin. Memory is going.

Lake Taupo Bike Challenge – 26 November 2022

The entries are now open and don't forget to include the code 'HVR22' for a rotary club discount. Using this code gives all points from the entrants' mileage is credited to the club. We want to retain the cup we won 4 years ago.

It would be great to have a few supporters on hand.

Have a think about it and let Jo know if you can come.

Accommodation can be arranged at a very reasonable cost.

Rotary International Convention 2023 – Imagine What’s Next

27 – 31 May 2023 in Melbourne

It will be in Melbourne, so it’s an amazing opportunity to experience a convention of epic proportions.

Chat with Derrick, Jo or Judy if you want to find out a bit more or check out Melbourne | Rotary Convention

The suggestion is that we look to register individually but book accommodation as a group.

Cheers

Secretary
