As most of you know, Matamata College Interact's opening gala for the sports facility they have built at the College is from 3.30-5.30pm this Friday 3rd May. As their sponsoring club I am hoping that most Rotarians will pop in to show their support. 
In addition, they have challenged us to a match. It was going to be 5-side but the court is laid out for 3x3 street basketball (so I have subsequently found out!) so we now require two teams of 3.
Currently I only have David H so urgently need 5 volunteers. Maz and Abigail, can you play?? The game is only for 5-10 minutes so major sporting prowess/serious fitness not required!! 
If attending please wear name badges and a Rotary shirt if you can.
They have worked very hard on this project so please do your bit to support them.
Many thanks In Rotary
Michelle

Te Aroha Auction – Wednesday May 8.

Festival will start at 9am.  Rotary Matamata supports this annual festival with stage and participant management. Minimum 5 (five) member volunteers are required for morning and afternoon sessions of the festival. It is a great experience to be part of the Festival, and enjoy the high standard of presentation by these young musicians. So please register your interest with David, whether you are able to do a morning or afternoon or both.ph  888 5063 m 0274 845 445 dhwheadon@gmail.com  Will be a great event to attend with family/friends

         As this year the Festival is at a different venue there will be a few changes to get used too.
Members and friends will no doubt want to enter a team(s) under Rotary Matamata . So diary that date, I am sure someone will champion this to organise team registration.
