The event ended with the students singing a rousing song of thanks and handing out Thank you cards to all the volunteers.  |

Centurion Club Reaches $200,000 MilestoneThe District 9940 Centurion Club was inaugurated during the term of District Governor Judy Bain in 2003. Members of the Club are invited to contribute annually a minimum of NZ$100 to The Rotary Foundation. The $200k milestone of total contributions was achieved at the end of 2016. This method of personal contribution provides about 10% of the District 9940 annual contributions to The Rotary Foundation. Each donor contribution receives a personal donation tax receipt from the New Zealand Rotary Clubs Charitable Trust who administers the transfer of all funds from New Zealand Rotary Districts to The Rotary Foundation. Accordingly, a donation through the Centurion Club produces a tax refund entitlement of up to 33% to the donor. The access to individual tax receipts is a significant benefit to individuals who become members of the Centurion Club. Most Rotary clubs contribute to The Rotary Foundation, but often their member contributions are consolidations of gifts and fundraising during the year. At least one club is currently planning to have all members enrolled with the Centurion Club, thus enabling their general fundraising ability to widen their giving in other areas. Some Rotarians question the benefit to their clubs of donating through the Centurion Club. Donations to The Rotary Foundation from Centurion Club members ALL accrue to the contributions of their Rotary Club, and earn Paul Harris credits that can be used at the discretion of their Rotary Club (not the individual). This is a distinctive feature not found in other Districts in New Zealand. Consider joining the Centurion Club and individually supporting your own Charity. Centurion Club Brochure and application form can be found in the Members Section of the Website, under Documents Library http://rotary9940.org/Page/documents .Scroll down untill you find it.

Police Vetting of MembersLast Chance - Please bring your vetting forms to Wednesdays meeting and don't forget the photocopies of two photo IDs. ie: passport and/or Firearms or Drivers Licence At our last board meeting in early March, the board discussed in detail a recommendation from District 9940. This recommendation was relating to police vetting of all Rotary club members who have contact with young people and other vulnerable people such as the elderly or disabled district-wide. This follows a recommendation to vet all Rotarians from RotaryInternational. There are two levels of vetting: Those members who have casual day-to-day contact with vulnerable people. This vetting is valid for 10 years. Level 2 vetting is for members who have any contact for any overnight event, either at their home or elsewhere. This vetting is more intense and is valid for 3 years. There is also a set of Guidelines for Rotarians to follow when in contact with vulnerable people. More information in the linked document. After discussion, the club board decided to accept the recommendation and introduce the vetting and guidelines to our membership, for both present and future members. While this entirely voluntary, the board encourages all members to participate. There is no cost to the member or the club. For more information about this proposal click here. Please fill in the forms provided and a photocopy of the following documents: We need 2 individual photographic IDs ie Drivers or Firearms Licence or Passport, even if expired by less than 6 months. These documents will be verified by the club President. The applications and attached documents will be posted to the District Police Liaison Office by Ken Chandler. Please note: Forms will be available at our next couple of meetings. Any questions please contact Ken on 027 4501 259 |

RYLA Catering Assistance RequiredThe 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 |

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.
A movie ticket makes a nice gift at this time of the year. :)

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

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.
Hurry, Hurry, Tickets going fast!

Carl has received the email about the upcoming Keep NZ Beautiful clean up.
We've done this before and it would be great to support it again. Carl has the Kea's, Cubs and Scouts on hand......lets see if we can help out his year.
We are just confirming the day (Saturday or Sunday) and we'll let you know.

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!

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.
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.
