PRESIDENT’S CORNER:
Fellows, Change-Over Night has come and gone – a night with a difference. Congratulations, Frank Crist, on your Paul Harris sustaining membership, it was well deserved – then our new Senior Active members, Jim Redgrave, Frank Crist, Bill Langford and Bill Pascoe. Our own Hastings Citizen Band was terrific – we could have had more of them but time ran out – and the flowers they were really beautiful. Thanks to the fellows and the Ladies for supporting the Team with their attendance. The entertainment was bright and so it goes on. Congratulations to Imm. Past President Frank and his team for a successful year. With the fellows I have to support me, and a start like last evening, I look forward to a very good Rotary year.
Jack.

WORLD PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE: Dear Friend, As you read this message, I ask you to recall those times when you, like me, passed up opportunities to serve because you were “too busy”.  For us as Rotarians the opportunities are everywhere. Look at the handicapped, the unskilled, the poor and hungry throughout the world, and the diseased. The time we take to serve those who need us can be the turning point, not only in their lives but also in our own. And, membership in Rotary bears a special responsibility, which all Rotarians have proudly accepted for more than 75 years. Rotary is like a timepiece that shows the correct time because its many cog wheels work in unison. The absence of a single cog, will stop the clock. The cog wheel is Rotary’s symbol and each Rotarian works to make our great international organisation work. Therefore let us resolve this year to examine our priorities and be sure that we TAKE TIME TO SERVE. TAKE TIME … it often has been said, “When you want a job done, give it to a busy man.” A busy man is not one who has lots of time. He is one who TAKES the time for those things that are worth doing. When he commits himself to something he uses his precious time wisely and accomplishes what he sets out to do … SERVE. Service is the best use to which we can put our time. Time spent in service benefits ourselves and the people we serve. “Service Above Self” is no empty slogan. – Rolf J. Klarich, President, Rotary International – 1980-81.

YOU CAN MAKE OUR SONS’ & DAUGHTERS’ DAY – A FUN DAY:   It’s up to you to make this day an exciting day on Tuesday, 26 August – when we entertain our young friends. Remember last year the look of surprise on those happy, happy faces when they heard their names called out. Who lost a tooth? Who broke a window? Who wouldn’t go to bed? You know the story – you have to face this crisis every day. All you have to do is to tell our Sgt-at-Arms Paul Jones any happenings of fun news concerning our young guests – and don’t forget the good deeds – birthdays and so on. We’ll just leave it up to you to use your imagination and make this day their Fun Day. Give Paul Jones a phone call now – Bus. 87-149 – Home 83-252 – it’s their time to share with us in Fun Day.

PRESIDENT’S CORNER:
Fellows, Thank you for your support today, we had a well attended meeting, 82% and full discussion. The suggestions made were worthwhile and were noted by those concerned for further action. The mere attendance of course, is not the Be-all and End-all – the really important things are the Rotary spirit and fellowship on which our Club is very strong.
Next Tuesday is Sons’ and Daughters’ Day and it is always interesting to watch the young ones come to the Club. The age group remains constant, some dropping off the top and young ones replacing them. It should be a very happy day for both the young and not so young.
Jack.

WHAT DID WE TALK ABOUT ON CLUB DAY?   So many things – so little time to say it all – on Club Day, Tuesday, 19 August, last.
Rotary Information emphasised attendance. Members must have at least 60% attendance record – and reminded to please not miss 4 meetings in a row, and so on.  Club Service to look at improving a better attendance for the Club. Pres. Jack reminded members that an empty chair is no compensation for your good fellowship.
Motion:   “That we have at least one 100% Attendance Day – suggestion one day in November 1980.” Moved Colin Young/Haldane Scougall.  Our Commitment to Caterers: Some members not recognising this commitment, made it a cost to all members.
Motion:   “That the Club pre-sells tickets for future Ladies’ Nights.” Moved Frank Darroch/Nigel Ross.  Early Leavers. Speaker always advised – and finishing the meeting early now is considered a step in the right direction. Site of the Hospital was not discussed at length.  3H Programme is to be a continuing programme funded from the R.I. foundation after the 3H Fund has been expended. Tea & Coffee Servers – to have opportunity to have meal early. Introduction & Thanks. Members undertaking these duties are asked to be at the meeting a little early if possible.
Refugee Family invite members to call at 411N. Park Rd, Hastings, (before 8.30 p.m.) any evening.  Entertainment asks what would members like to do this year – Barbecue? – Picnic? – any suggestions?
Committee Meetings.   Attend your Fireside Committee Meeting – your Chairman needs your support. We will enlarge on these topics further in future Bulletins. Thanks to Pres. Jack for a well-prepared Club Day – let’s have more Club Days.

URGENT NEED – FOR THE 3H PROGRAMME:
Radiographers are needed to serve in refugee camps in Hong Kong. They will be using a “Dutch-donated, Japanese-built mobile Xray Unit”. Volunteers must be English speaking and available for service periods of one to three months. Please contact the District Governor.

Fellows, Today was the last time that Past President Frank will grace the rostrum in his capacity as President, and this was to present his report. He expressed concern that some aspects of his year did not go according to plan, but the end result showed that he need not have had such qualms. We had a good Rotary year under his leadership and we congratulate him on a successful term of office.
Our thanks also to Treasurer Colin for the efficient presentation of his Balance Sheet. It shows the Club’s finances are in a healthy state and the increase in the subscription is modest compared to the current inflation rate.

PRESIDENT’S CORNER:
Fellows:   The Christmas season is with us once more and it is time to down tools and make the most of this period of good­will with our families. The world is a most unsettled place right now and for many people Christmas will not be a happy time. We are very fortunate to live in New Zealand, a beautiful and peaceful place for the most part and far enough away from the worst trouble spots.
Peggy and I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy Prosperous New Year.
JACK

ROTARY HONOURED REHABILITATION INTERNATIONAL FOR ITS SERVICE TO THE WORLD’S HANDICAPPED. At the 14th World Congress of Rehabilitation International, held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in June, President Rolf J. Klarich, presented Rehabilitation International with the first “Rotary International Presidential Citation”. The citation, which was accepted by Dr The Hon. Harry S.Y. Fang, incoming President of Rehabilitation International – and a member of the Rotary Club of Hong Kong – honoured the international organization for its 58 years of service to the disabled in the spirit of Rotary motto “Service Above Self”.  In his remarks, President Rolf noted that the organization – although totally independent of R.I., was built upon a foundation of Rotary concern for the disabled. The Rotary connection goes back to 1920, when one of the first societies for crippled children was established through the efforts of Rotarians in Ohio U.S.A. This laid the ground work for the International Society for Crippled Children (founded in 1922) – now called Rehabilitation International – that Rotarians help to promote around the world. If you remember our club history Rotary was responsible for a survey being carried out in our area in 1934 which led to the establishment of the Hawke’s Bay Crippled Childrens Society. President Rolf supported the goal of full participation of the disabled in society – “The disabled need a chance, not charity” he said and pledged continuing encouragement of Rotary club efforts to reach this goal during the Rotary year and especially in 1981 – the United National International Year of Disabled Persons. About 4,000 delegates attended the Congress.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT- CHRISTMAS CARD
“Greetings from the Uxbridge Rotary Club to our fellow Rotarians in Hastings”  Thank you Uxbridge, sharing your greetings with us and to our good friends overseas, we send our best wishes to you from all at Hastings Rotary.
