President Denise Traill announced that she had the honour and privilege to award two Paul Harris Fellowships and called forward David Pine and Nick Walmsley in turn. DG Marilyn Stevens kindly presented the badges.
📷📷She congratulated David for almost thirty years of service and thanked him for his contributions to such events as the 4x4 Safari, the bookfairs, plantings, the garden tour, and for doing guest speaker write-ups for three years.
She offered congratulations to Nick for his service and thanked him for the contributions made in his year of the inaugural Graeme Press RYLA Award, the start of a new Whitby Probus Club and for receiving the District 9940 Public Image Award for the Teardrop Campaign, among others. Following his thanks, Nick suggested that Rotary International might take advantage of the message given at the Royal Coronation when King Charles III had emphasised service to the community.

After having long Covid for over a year, I had to leave my job and change my life. I just wasn't getting any better. Anyway, long story short, I've retrained as a yoga nidra and restorative yoga teacher - relaxation! Gentle poses, breathing, and listening to a gentle guided voice basically saved me last year. Now I'm supporting others who need some relief from anxiety, stress, body aches, tension, and feeling *hitty. I teach from my own experience and I hope I can be of use. 5-class series BeCalm Yourself starts the week of 4 June. Wednesday night Yoga Nidra classes available too. Small classes - 4 only - so I'll be able to get to know you and what's best for you. Check out my business listing on Neghbourly too. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou. www.becalmedstudio.com...

Don't let your parents go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.

DVD Player

Felicity from Titahi Bay

Hi, a couple of years ago, we needed a dvd player, and managed to get one free from Neighbourly. Sadly, it has died. Does anyone have a DVD player that goes, that they'd be willing to give us? Thanks
