23.01.2022 Another great meeting on Zoom this week.. Fantastic to have our friends Ryan, Kirri and Stella from Maheno Primary School in NZ join us. Kiwis were well represented as Kelly McCluckie invited Geoff Pownall, President of her old Rotary Club of Takapuna. Guest speaker was Amy Smith a Canadian and our Global Grant Scholar. Amy has completed her study and spoke about her current work with indigenous programs in Australia. Great that Rotary continues and we are still able to hear outstanding guest speakers.
