Nice garden setting, for first meeting of 2019. To a good turn out of Rotarians and guests ,President David welcomed everyone and acknowledged our hosts President elect Lynette and John Price; especially as it was also "Pricey's" birthday. "I hope everyone had a good break, special family times, but I do realise retailers and builder's struggle to get back into stride!". "Things were going good until I attended a pre resource consent hearing in town, but some t#@>~r helped themselves to my chainsaw, from the back of my Ute!!!". On a good tone, our exchange Chilean student Dani Navarrete, has graduated from college, and now studying midwifery at Santiago University. Have a good evening.

Polite notice from Kevin Kent
Thank you to those who rang in to indicate that they were bringing guests to the barbecue. Quite a few forgot to do this which made it difficult to give accurate numbers to Rob.
For those who had guests a meal cost of $20 is due. Payment can be made on-line or at next meeting (money in envelopes with name would be a help). Thanks to those who have paid.
MANY THANKS to members who have already advised of known absence from Club night meetings. So please keep in mind please to advise Stew and/or Kevin Kent of any known absence from Rotary meeting nights next few months. Helps me prepare a Club night roster matrix, fair to all.
Birthday Lad John 'Pricey' Price....... born in the era known as a 'baby boomer'!... !
A great co-host as well, having a chat and drinkie with Sheryl Ertel.
Dani Navarrete, now studying Midwifery at Santiago University.
