CHANGE-OVER NIGHT – LADIES NIGHT:
In days of old when men were bold and armour was made of tin – Sir Ginger Meggs with bandy legs went out to fight for Min.
Although Ginger Meggs is not a Rotarian, he is one of the good little guys in a cartoon strip, symbolizing all that is true and fair to all concerned, caring for his girl friend Min who represents all that is good. Our good guys might have slightly dented armour, but they still carry proudly the flag of Blue and Gold colours.
Change-Over Night Wednesday 29 June is the night we give recognition to the good guys of a job well done and welcome the in-coming Officers for the new 1983-84 Rotary Year. This night will be one of our happiest nights of our Rotary Year – terrific entertainment – lavish meal and we also mention that there will be a limited amount of wine on the table in carafes.
If you desire to have drinks before the meal, or any extras, these drinks will be your own care and a bar will be available for your pleasure. Your tickets for the Change-Over Night are available from your Committee Chairman and extra tickets can be obtained from Twin City Motors, Nelson St. Hastings. Deadline for ticket (for catering purposes) is Monday 27 June.
This great night is the night you show your appreciation to President Ewing and his wife, Nancy, for sharing Rotary with us and your presence is also an acknowledgement of support to in-coming President Peter and his wife Judy. We look forward to another successful Rotary Year.

This 17 year old Exchange Student from Longby (near Copenhagen) returns home in July next month.

UNEMPLOYMENT SHOULD BE A CONCERN OF ROTARY:
The R.I. Board at its second 1981-82 meeting, considered the problems of general unemployment as a subject of Rotary concern. The Board encourages District Governors and Club Presidents to consider in Vocational Service, problems of the unemployed, which includes people of all ages. It is suggested that the subject should also be discussed at District and Club Programs.
Consequently, this matter was raised at the last District Conference and resolved:
“That letters be forwarded to Employers Federation, The Federation of Labour and to the Government, urging their recognition of the crisis in employment of school leavers by reaching agreement….. to establish appropriate youth wage rates in all Awards and other agreements at a scales which will effectively stimulate all sections to create job opportunities for young people.”
Lack of space only allows us to print extracts of the following letters:-
The N.Z. Employers Federation Inc., dated March, thanked District, advising statements and resolution passed at Conference. The Federation states that it is in close agreement, has been active in several fields already.
The Secretary of the Federation of Labour does not share the views of your organization, in that the rate of wages is directly responsible for the high levels of unemployment occurring with youth and school leavers in particular.
The Minister of Labour, Mr Bolger: share your concern that the absence of youth rates in some awards and collective apprentices may act as a disincentive to the employment of youth. I have held discussions with the Federation of Labour, on the possibility of introducing youth rates…”

District suggests, the Minister and Employers will need support.

YOUTH COMMITTEE MEETING:
The 1st Tuesday – August 2nd – to  be a LADIES NIGHT and meal at the Hastings Golf Club, 6.30 p.m. The cost is only $10 or $12 per person depending on being a member of the Golf Club or not. Drinks own care.
So come on fellows and bring your LADIES – have a get together at the beginning of our year. – Sandy Struthers

ROTARY AND THE UNITED NATIONS:  Rotary International encourages Rotarians to become acquainted with the activities of the United Nations directed to the maintenance of world peace.

Charter.  On that day, or close period of time, R.I. suggests clubs organize a model UN General Assembly in the local school, or have a knowledgeable person to talk about the immunization programs of the World Health Organization (an agency of UN) which are supported by Rotary’s Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Program.

SICK LIST:  Bert Eising is in Memorial Hospital, Hastings.
