As the guest Club's President, Neville thanked our hosts and the Harbour President Keith on our behalf, welcoming the opportunity to build fellowship and gain insight into the inner workings of Dunedin's newest Rotary Club. Naturally President Neville extended a reciprocal invitation to attend our Club meeting at the Dunedin Club in the near future. Certainly we could compete with this beautiful venue in the splendid grounds of the Dunedin Club and the lovely Jan.
It was wonderful to see Sarah Pearce joining us for dinner as she considers rejoining the Club after a wee sojourn.
BRICK/LUGO SHOW UPDATE
Your hard work and generous giving of time has paid off!!!
President Neville proudly held up a
$7,000 cheque for Child Cancer.
This is just one of the reasons we are all in Rotary...feeling very proud to be a member of Dunedin Central and to have played a small part in raising such a substantial donation to an exceptional cause.
Pat yourselves on the back Rotary Family.
DUNEDIN PRIVATE BOARDING REQUEST
With further COVID 19 lockdown now in place, the Balclutha Club's Rotary Exchange student, Mackenzie Baines, is returning from France as soon as she is able. For 2021, Mackenzie will be a Year 13 student at a High School in Dunedin and would like a private boarding place there.
Mackenzie boarded with Anna for a few years at St Hilda's Collegiate and is an outgoing, active young lady with a bright future and a sunny nature. With a supportive family behind her, MacKenzie will be a wonderful addition to any household.
Please consider this request if you are able.

INTERCLUB VISIT: HARBOUR ROTARY CLUB
Otago University Staff Club
What a venue!!!
A very pretty walk through the campus, crossing the Leith with its view to the Clocktower to discover this magnificent stone building bathed in sunshine. There was a lively buzz around the U- shaped table design as the 2 Clubs mingled, some catching up with old friends and acquaintances while others introduced themselves to their neighbours.
Dual Sergeants kept the bean counter busy and the guests entertained. I imagine Sergeant Sessions of old ran along in a very similar vein. Thank you Derek and John Campbell for this little piece of Club theatre.
A great idea and a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
