The club organisers recognise that many club members would like to assist with RYLA but are unable to do so because of work or other commitments. Here's a way to help if you are in this position. The organisers have asked if members can provide home-baked cakes and biscuits to help the morning and afternoon teas for the participants and tutors. About 40 people are catered for each day.
You do not have to cater for 40 people but a plate of biscuits/cakes from many will soon fill up the tables with delicious home-baking. You can drop the plates off at the venue, or, bring along to our regular club meeting on the 27th. This is the meeting following the long weekend. You could also arrange with Michelle to pick up your plates. Many thanks RYLA Organising Committee

Next Weekend The online registration process is very simple…Please read on…. -A box on the left of that page is headed LINKS and below that are the words Register here! - Click on the words Register here! - you will be taken to the Guide to registering page; read the instructions on that page. - then scroll down to the bottom half of that page to start entering your details. - You will see the option to login to ClubRunner to shortcut the registration process (If you enter your ClubRunner login it will automatically enter your details, but obviously that won't work for non-Rotarian partners, so you have to fill in the fields yourself). You do not have to use the ClubRunner option. - From here on follow the online instructions giving the required details about the Registrant, option choices, details of payment and other questions. An alternative to the above is to just go to the District 9940 home page where you can click on News & Events at the top and click on D9940 Conference 2019 and it will take you to the same Conference page as above and you follow the same directions and instructions. Please remember the following:- - Each person attending Conference must be registered individually; however, payment of fees into the given bank account may be done jointly.
- Please note: The suffix on the bank account is ‘03’ not ’00.’
- Choose your options to suit. Note the benefits and timeline of ‘Early Bird Registrations.’
-
- ‘Give it a go’ but please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need help.

The ever-popular movie night is on again to kick off our fundraising for the New Year. On Thursday 7 Feb the Rotary Club of Hutt Valley is running a movie night and we would love to see you there. The movie is The Green Book and is directed by Peter Farrelly and has some notable actors, Academy Award® nominee Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises, The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Academy Award® winner Mahershala Ali (Moonlight, Hidden Figures). In this foray into a powerfully dramatic work as a feature director, Peter Farrelly helms the film that is inspired by a true friendship that transcended race, class and the 1962 Mason-Dixon line. When Tony Lip (Mortensen), a bouncer from an Italian-American neighbourhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on “The Green Book” to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. Confronted with racism, danger—as well as unexpected humanity and humor—they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime. Check out the trailer here. "The Green Book" $20 a ticket 5:30 for 6:00pm start Thursday 7th Feb The Lighthouse Beach Street Petone Tickets are available from Michelle Simpson.

The ever-popular movie night is on again to kick off the New Year. Academy Award® nominee Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises, The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Academy Award® winner Mahershala Ali (Moonlight, Hidden Figures) star in Participant Media and DreamWorks Pictures’ Green Book. In his foray into powerfully dramatic work as a feature director, Peter Farrelly helms the film inspired by a true friendship that transcended race, class and the 1962 Mason-Dixon line. When Tony Lip (Mortensen), a bouncer from an Italian-American neighbourhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on “The Green Book” to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. Confronted with racism, danger—as well as unexpected humanity and humor—they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime. Jim Burke (The Descendants), Charles B. Wessler (The Heartbreak Kid) produce alongside Farrelly’s fellow writers, Brian Currie and Nick Vallelonga, and Farrelly. The drama is executive produced by Participant’s Jeff Skoll (The Help) and Jonathan King (Lincoln), along with Octavia Spencer (Fruitvale Station) and Kwame L. Parker (Kill Bill series), as well as Cinetic Media’s John Sloss (Boyhood) and Steven Farneth. Linda Cardellini (Brokeback Mountain, The Founder) co-stars.

From your "stand in" P P as Jo, Chris, Judy and Luke supported family in Auckland Our thoughts have been with you all. The "Ted Talk" replaced our speaker this week due to circumstances beyond our control. Very interesting and worth serious thoughts about protecting our planet Paul shared the value of the Innovative Young Minds Programme (IYM). This is certainly a youth programme that our club will support again in 2018. Tony reminded us about "Japan Day " Support is needed, see the FaceBook for details. " Round Taupo Ride" is only 9 days to go. Bikes and riders are ready. Go well and enjoy the weekend. Vocal FX tickets are now available, and have been distributed to members. Michelle has tickets for you all, or you can purchase through "Event Finder " This will be an amazing evening so share with family and friends. Your support will help Te Omanga Hopice and our clubs projects. Enjoy your week Michelle

Why Workout for Water? Because 2.1 billion people worldwide don’t have access to clean water. For every workout we’ll be encouraging Instructors and members to raise USD $414, which is the cost to build a water pump in East Africa. Just one of these pumps can bring clean, safe drinking water to an entire community. Donate here

Following on from Jo’s update at Wed’s meeting, we can confirm that the Chinese teachers will NOT now be travelling from China. Unfortunately their required visas to enable them to leave China have been denied and at this point they have been told they cannot travel this year. We know that the teachers will be very disappointed. THANK YOU to those that had offered to host or transport the teachers. Also, the hours of work by those who had planned the exchange is hugely appreciated. Be assured that the club’s International team will soon be working on alternative plans for something equally exciting. Watch this space! Bruce

Pave your way - Have a permanent place in Lower Hutt history Another way you can support The Dowse is by buying a brick in The Dowse Community Pathway. Here is your chance to put your name on memory lane by purchasing and engraving a name or message on one of the bricks that will permanently pave the way to The Dowse along the stunning front facade of the building.
Each brick costs from $150 and you can choose what name, message, tribute or corporate logo you would like to have engraved on it; something that will be seen and valued by generations to come. Download an order form here Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to: - Have a permanent place in Lower Hutt history
- Have a family stone or memorial for a loved one
- Mark a special occasion or anniversary
- Create a lasting recognition of a person, group of business who have contributed to the health, happiness and success of Lower Hutt
Thanks to the Rotary Club of Hutt Valley The project at the Civic Centre Pathway is two-fold. Firstly, we are creating a permanent record of Businesses & Individuals who make up the Hutt Valley by selling the bricks in the path engraved with the names of these businesses/individuals. Secondly, Rotary Hutt Valley drives this project to support Rotary's local and international projects. A portion is also given to the Dowse Foundation to provide for their student education programs. The recipients of our local projects are mainly Lower Hutt's low decile primary schools and Hutt Valley senior school pupils who we enrol in personal development, educational development and leadership programs run by Rotary.

 The philosophy behind the programme is simple - to break the cycle of 'booklessness'. Children who can't read become adults who can't communicate and that's a serious disadvantage in a world that operates on the written word.
The Alan Duff Charitable Foundation, better known as Duffy Books in Homes, provides free books to over 100,000 New Zealand children, three times a year.

 Since 2003 a team of rostered volunteers has been going into 3 low-decile schools in Lower Hutt to participate in one-on-one reading sessions with children. The children practise reading to the volunteer at a level slightly higher than that at which they were currently reading.
The response from the children is enthusiastic. Some of the children get little opportunity for similar reading experiences at home and they really appreciate being able to demonstrate their skills to an encouraging adult.
The schools now say they do not know how they managed without our team.

This project is about supporting local midwives on Tanna Island, Vanuatu who deal with an alarming teenage pregnancy problem and the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, malnutrition, and infant death. The heart of the problem is a lack of awareness and knowledge by the 20,000 inhabitants of the Island. Besides assisting with child birth, the two midwives have set about an education and information sharing learning opportunity for local schools and families; it is this role that has attracted Rotary's attention and initial support.

Some brought tattered and chewed-cover copies of books about Hairy, Slinky Malinki, Schnitzel von Krumm, Zachary Quack and others in her cast of characters. But young and old sought Dodd's autograph, and a few words with the author at the unveiling of bricks in the Dowse Community Pathway - our local pathway that tells the story of Hutt Valley people.
