31 July Meeting Report Guests - David Stone, Donna Allpress, Ngaire Powdrill, Jessie Wilson, Cam Sutherland. Thanks to Donna for volunteering for Meals on Wheels this week. Cam or Glenis will do Friday. Glenis has received a notice about Rotary Leadership Training. Information has been received about the Rotary Science and Technology forum. Keith to follow up. Still waiting for information about the Secondary Speech Contest in Whangarei. Planning well in hand for the Midwinter Celebration. All members asked to seek sponsors/prizes for the Kaikohe Rotary Okaihau Kaikohe Traverse. Five Minute Speaker Noel entertained us and informed us about how fishing in the Bay of Islands has changed over the years. Of particular interest now with the proposed reduction in the daily snapper limit for recreational fishing Guest Speaker David Stone is the chairman of the Kerikeri Youth Trust. The trust runs a drop-in centre for youth 12-18 years old on Fridays from 3:00 to 7:30pm. They are looking to secure their own premises. Funding is difficult. The Far North District Council does not have a youth policy.
- Meeting closure from Dr Seuss, “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
