24 July Meeting Report

• Guests - Ngaire Powdrill, Donna Allpress, Jessie Wilson, Kaz Chamberlain.

• President Glenis reported on the Northland College students involvement in the Northtec Science and Technology Extravaganza. The students were diffident about going, but really excited when they were picked up. A very worthwhile experience. Murray Neighbour is producing a slide show, and will visit our club with the students some time soon.

• President Glenis issued a challenge to all members to find sponsors for prizes for the Kaikohe Rotary Okaihau Kaikohe Traverse. Email her (president@kaikoherotary.org) to tell her who you plan to approach so that there are no double ups.
