Plimmerton Rotary goes Bowling

Rhondda Sweetman from Plimmerton Rotary

And the bowling ...
Bryan Waddle took over from President Bill as emcee for the evening and did a great job of entertaining the troops and generally causing mayhem. The bowling culminated in a competition, with everyone bowling their balls from one corner to the other across all the lawns. There were some interesting results! Booby prizes were awarded for the worst bowl (Marg), clearing the corner and landing in the ditch (John), worst performance of the night (Philip). Second prize went to Nigel Brown, and the winner was our newest member, Dallas, who managed to get within a metre of the corner with inveterate skill (although she claimed it was a complete fluke). Bryan is in the photo, not because he won a prize but because he made it such fun for everyone. And, as he said, he couldn't have done it without the background help which always comes from Les who was watching the dramas unfold from a strategic position on the side-line.

Micro-Volunteering Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

Happy Micro-Volunteering Day!

Today is about acknowledging the power of small, meaningful mahi that create a big impact. Whether you have 5 minutes or an hour, there's always something you can do to support your community, spread kindness or make a difference.

You don't need to commit to anything long-term - just a little time, effort and aroha.

Here are just a few examples of micro-volunteering!
