INNER WHEEL CLUB OF
OREWA & WHANGAPARAOA
July 2018
Welcome - to a new Inner Wheel year and a slightly new look Bulletin !
There was no way I could compete with an award winner Editor, namely Catherine, so
I decided on a few changes. I hope it works out ok ! It was such a pity Catherine was
unable to be at the AGM to receive the thanks from the members for her hard work as From the Editor’s Desk
Editor in the past 3 years, so I will thank her here on your behalf, for keeping us so well
informed and entertained. Judy had presented her with some roses earlier in the day so she would know
we were thinking of her. A very special thank you also to those who have retired from Committee roles.
Your hard work and support has been much appreciated by all the members. Judy gave us an excellent
year as President for 2017/18 and now …..
Our new year brings us a new President—
We are delighted to have Jan Murphy as our President for
2018/2019 and we look forward to
enjoying our IW year under her
leadership.
Jan quickly settled into the “hot seat” to
close the meeting and then members
enjoyed a most delicious chocolate cake
and wine - what an excellent way to start
a new year !
Nancy got a lovely surprise at the start of our meeting,
she had just lit the Candle of Friendship when two
friends appeared ! They were Gwenda Holster-Dowler
and Sandra Paton from Plunket and they were there to
make a presentation to Nancy for her 30 years work
with the Charity.
The certificate read “Awarded in recognition of your
valuable contribution to Waitemata Royal New Zealand
Plunket Society”
Sandra, who is a Community Support Co-Ordinator,
gave a brief outline of the Plunket Society’s work and
how Nancy (and Brian) had worked tirelessly to support
its work in the area. Many Congratulations from us all Nancy
One of President Jan’s first tasks was to
present the Mary Wilson Rose Brooch
to this year’s Honoured Active Member,
Margaret Mullan.
This brooch is special to our Club, it was donated in memory of a
founder member of our Club, Mary Wilson. Her husband found it
amongst her things & gave to the Club to be awarded each year to
a special member, in remembrance of Mary’s active membership.

Important Information re the August Meeting
This is on 1st August & will be a social day out as well. Lynda J has
arranged for us to visit the Morris & James Pottery for a tour at approx.
11.30am. The Club is then very kindly invited to the home of Margaret
Whitmore in Port Wells, for a soup lunch. At the July meeting further details
will be given & car pooling discussed. Please try to decide before the
July meeting if you will be coming so arrangements can be made.
Nancy & Lynda gave an interesting talk at the AGM on
the 7th Int. Inner Wheel Convention they attended in
Melbourne. Lynda gave us a taste of the International
flavour of everyone who attended while Nancy
explained the business sessions and how it impacted
on our Club. It is so good to be reminded of how we
are part of such a large and powerful organisation that
is world wide.
Inner Wheel promotes
true friendship,
encourages the ideals of
personal service and
fosters international
understanding
Our ISO Jan R can be seen
here enjoying IW Friendship
with some members of the IW
Club of Omagh, Ireland, during her recent visit there. Janet
Howard is holding the NZ IW magazine that Jan took over,
with some District Postcards. Next to Janet is the Club
President Mavis Jardine and on the left is Margaret Mitchell,
their Treasurer.
The Toilet Bag Sewing Bees went well during June. One group meet at Margaret M’s
and one at Val’s in Warkworth. Thank you to both hosts for letting us take over your
homes. We did so well we now have enough completed bags. The next Toilet Bag
gathering will be on Thursday 19th July , this will be to fill them with the items
collected. The items are being counted and soon there will be a request sent out to
members for the things we need to complete them all.
Duty Roster:
As the August meeting is part of our trip out there will be no allocated duties to members
but it would be a huge help to Margaret W if 3 of you would volunteer to assist
with lunch and washing up ! Please let Jennifer H. know at the July meeting
The September rota will be in the next Bulletin - don’t forget to check if it includes you
There will be no duties for the October meeting as we shall be dining out !
If you are on supper duty please discuss with the other supper duty person as to who
brings what, you will need a bottle of milk, some tea towels and a packet of biscuits each. There is a
box in the IW cupboard that has tea, coffee, sugar etc in—please advise the President if something
needs replacing. It would be good if the Club Officers and Speaker could be served first, a list in the box
has what they prefer. Huggers and Greeters : Please be near the front door to greet everyone as they
arrive. If you are not able to be at the meeting to do your task—PLEASE SWOP Thank you

marmalade again this year (she donates these to Many Happy Returns to
