Hey neighbours, there are few Kiwis who haven't experienced cold or damp housing at some point in New Zealand, whatever part of the country you call home. So what's being done to change that for future generations?

Here's how a passive revolution and building code changes could help our health - and the climate.

The station opened on 15 May 1981, and was designed to use the artesian underground water resource of the Lower Hutt Valley to its maximum extent 💧
Eight wells supply water from the Waiwhetu aquifer to the Water Treatment Plant located right next to the Waterloo Train Station 🚉

His return home after a year with us has been uncertain because of Covid-19, but now he is due to leave on Friday, on a repatriation flight.
Cris said his exchange has changed his life-which is what student exchanges are designed to do - and he was very appreciative of the support and friendship he received via the Club. He has taken full advantage of his stay in New Zealand and for the first time tried golf, fishing, bungee-jumping, water-skiing, and the haka.
He has met people from all over the world and made many new friends.
On our part, Cris has been a model exchange student: energetic, amiable, and cooperative. He is a fine young man with a bright future and I am sure we will see him again.
President Euon presented our brilliant soccer-playing international student, Cris with a hoodie and scarf from the Wellington Phoenix Football Club. and to top it off, and because none of the beanies is available in Wellington at the moment, a beanie, knitted by Barbara Nichols at very short notice. The photo says it all!

Matthew is familiar with our Club, having addressed us three or four times in the past. He is a long-time friend of the Bright family, as a result of Beryl Bright taking him under her wing when she worked at the Beehive and Matthew was a wannabe speechwriter. Matthew began by paying a generous tribute to Beryl and our late friend and member, George.
He comes from a privileged Remuera background and has been immersed in politics since university, with occasional forays into the consulting world.
Matthew reflected on political change in New Zealand; once our parliament was dominated by businessmen and ex-unionists and younger politicians wanted to change the world. Now he sees the younger element as celebrities with no firm political views.
He is an old friend of Todd Muller, with whom he went back-packing in India long ago. He obviously has a high regard for his new boss and thinks he will make a great Prime Minister one day.
Rotary clubs have been described as “The National Party at lunch”, but on this occasion Matthew found the going rather tough, and his over-the-top electioneering grated on some members., political commentator and now aide to the newly-elected leader of the opposition, Todd Muller.

Hey neighbours, is there a right way to fold towels? It seems it's a topic lots of people have strong opinions about.

The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. But what do you do? And who knew folding towels could be so controversial?
