Another vote of appreciation goes to David Knight. The speech contest runs seamlessly every year thanks to his great liaison with Sarah Jennings at Discovery School and his behind the s cenes organisation. The looks of pride on the parents face is a real joy. Just to get to this final the students need to be excellent speakers and they did not disappoint.
Chief Judge Wendy claimed the standard of speeches this year was the highest ever. I know I was very impressed. Thanks to the three adjudicators, Wendy, David and Darryl. Thanks to our official photographer, Graham Craig, for recording this event again and to other Rotarians who supported the event.

"Age Concern also experienced a burst of new interest and donations after we wrote about Rick Johnston and Denis White, who have been buddied up through Age Concern's visiting service. Johnston takes 82-year-old White out to lunch or to Mitre 10, or works in his backyard.
'But the best outcome has been the 35 volunteers signing up to help deliver social connection services to older people in our communities,” said Stephen Opie, chief executive of Age Concern Wellington. “We’re always needing more volunteers, so this has been a great response for us.'"

Industry experts say we should be preparing to pay more for our barista coffees in order keep local cafes alive, Stuff reports.
While the average price of a regular coffee is between $4.50 and $5, the cost of running a cafe has increased exponentially due to rising rents, wages, and milk prices. Former cafe owner Richard Corney says taking these into account, a fair price for a coffee is closer to $6.50 to $7:
"In the New Year, people have to be prepared to pay up to $7.20 for a large flat white, and $20 for a plate of brunch food. If you’re not, I completely understand, but we will see the demise of the hospitality sector."
How much are you willing to pay for your morning coffee? Share your thoughts below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in the conversations section of the Kapi-Mana News.
