A timely reminder


"Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes." - Peter Drucker

And Rotary is a wonderful way to provide opportunities for anyone to lead.

It caught my eye ....


Caught in the head-lights of my taxi  ...
I'm not sure if this is a Rotarian's attempt to increase their profile with a personalised number plate - or maybe it will be a plate sought after by a Rotarian with this particular interest in music.
Who knows!

According to Wikipedia:
Funk is a music genre that originated in the mid-late 1960s when African American musicians created a rhythmicdanceable new form of music through a mixture of soul musicjazz, and R&B. Funk de-emphasizes melody and harmony and brings a strong rhythmic groove of electric bass and drums to the foreground. Funk songs are often based on an extended vamp on a single chord, distinguishing it from R&B and soul songs, which are built on chord progressions.

Youth Service brings vitality to Rotary - thanks 9970 RYLA

RYLA is a great opportunity for Rotary to engage with ‘Youth Service’ the now renamed Fifth Avenue of Service, New Generations having been dropped by the 2013 CoL.
Stef Banbury, one of the three people sponsored by Christchurch Sunrise Rotary on the D9970 RYLA course and an employee of Canterbury Television (CTV), has put these clips together to record the events that occurred.
The course with 43 attendees from throughout the District, was held at College House one of the Halls of Residence associated with Canterbury University in late January 2013 and was run on behalf of the District by the Sunrise Club.
A number of the attendees, aged between 18-24 are in employment, with a relatively even spilt in gender. A number have committed to becoming further involved in their communities with a strong base in Christchurch interested in developing and forming into a Rotaract group. 
Tomorrow you will see the second clip!

Same message - now in the sky

Great to see the ads in our Air New Zealand In-Flight magazine 'Kia Ora'  advertising to all those who fly Air New Zealand that Rotary engages leaders in our community and requesting readers to join and become agents for change.
This is the final part of our 2012/13  campaign to lift the profile of Rotary in our community.
