We are on our home turf this week, a patch that we know very well of course particularly from our Assistant Governor days. First up we graced Wanganui Daybreak for breakfast. Before I could reverse the car out of the drive I had to clear it of snow. This is only the second time I have seen snow on the ground in Wanganui City in my 35 years of residence here.

The Board meeting was held the night before at the home of Judith Timpany. Thanks Judith and to the Board members who supplied the sumptuous culinary delights.. Daybreak has distinguished itself this year for the numbers of members on District Committees or with District roles, 8 all told: President Christine Omundsen - Convenor of NZ-Australia Matched Student Exchange programme; Past Presidents Colin Pepperell and Val Bartrum - Matched Student Exchange Committee; Past Assistant Governor, Judith Timpany - RLI, Focus on Families and Membership committees; Past President Terry Dowdeswell - Governor's Newsletter Editor; Janice Dowdeswell - Governor's Blog Editor; Past Assistant Governor Robert Gaskin - Conference Entertainment Manager; Jennifer Gaskin - Governor's Wordprocessing Operator.
Actually Janice and Jennifer are not members of the club but they might as well be. A really pleasing and significant representation from Wanganui Daybreak.
A stellar, and not to be missed, project of the Club is the Last Night of the Proms concert, to be held this year on Saturday 29th October, in the Royal Wanganui Opera House. The event is staged every two years with proceeds going to charities and people travel great distances to be part of the fun. This year the charity to benefit is Life To The Max which fits perfectly with our Focus On Families theme.
