Somerville New Zealand, near Auckland, sounds intriguing doesn't it?  New Zealand, home of Middle Earth in "Lord of the Rings".  New Zealand, home of the Maori, great wines, lamb, fjords, geothermals, hobbit holes, emerald lakes, lava flows, wonderful weather and nice people like Farida Master.  Rotarian Farida Master from New Zealand paid our club a visit on Wednesday and gave us an introduction to herself and her club.  In true Rotary tradition, President James and Farida exchanged club banners.  Sgt at Arms Harry provided a mentoring session for incoming Sgt. At Arms Farida, showing her how he scoops happy and sad dollars out of our pockets.

 

Just received an email from Farida, she loved the fellowship and the fun, she considers this as one of her special Rotary moments where you get to connect with people with the same core values all over the world and looking forward to meet us again... another place, another time.
