The 4th Brit &Euro Car Show will be held at Lloyd Elsmore Park on Sunday 3rd March.Last year was a huge success and thousands of people attended.This year it will be even bigger with close to 1000 cars and motorbikes on display and between 10000 and 15000 people attending. Ian Rodger of the Half Moon Bay Club is organising the marshalling of show cars and still needs a few volunteers.This will need you to be available from 7.30am to 10.00am.Details will be given to those able to help.The Community committee is again running a BBQ and a couple of extra helpers would be appreciated to spread the load during the day.We will again be showing the Shelter Box display and David Owen would appreciate some help. This is a great opportunity to promote the activities of our club and hopefully encourage new members so volunteers are needed in this area.We will continue to support the Howick Historical Village with fundraising and this will be done at our site adjacent to the BBQ and Shelter Box display. The newsletter sent to 51 recipients on 16th February has only resulted in a handfull of volunteers.Please give serious thought about offering just a little of your time at this major public event.It is a once a year opportunity to fly the flag of Rotary.No other event has such a large attendance in our area so our active participation needs to be given priority.Please call Mike Abercrombie or Geoff Thompson to volunteer |

A refugee growing up in New Zealand
Jun 11, 2019
Ashleigh Ali-Aziz came to NZ after eight years in a refugee camp. She has a Masters degree in business and is working towards her PHD. "My family fled Kurdistan to Iran, then Iran became unsafe and my parents and siblings traveled for 30 days (mainly at night and by foot) to Pakistan. My mother was pregnant with me and I was born in a Pakistan as soon as we arrived in 1989. Not long after I was born. We were a refugee family for 8 years in Pakistan, and I arrived in NZ at the age of 8. We were resettled at the Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre for 6 weeks, where I saw fog for the first time in my life. Where I smelt fresh air and so much green. It felt like home straight away. I want to share my past community projects and current projects I’m involved with (have almost collected 200 new blankets for the homeless in Auckland city and will be delivery to city mission on Sunday). I want to share the journey of a refugee and the resettlement process and explain how difficult this life is. I want to talk about what each project means to me and why being a humanitarian is so close to my heart. And lastly I want to talk about my life in my new country- NZ. I want to share the opportunities NZ has given me. Not everyone is privileged enough to have two homes like me and I want to share my gratitude.
