3Presidents Rant
Well the mornings are starting to get that feel of
autumn, but I’m sure good days are still ahead of
us. Lots of things are ahead of us this year with
Ann and her team catering this weekend, well
done girls very proud of you all keeping the lions
flag flying high. This catering has came about
from the Historical ball in November. We are
getting a very good name out in the community for our fantastic
catering. Judith has set a attentive date for cheese rolls - early May,
which she will tell you more at the dinner meeting. Walked into the
supermarket and a lady asked me about cheese rolls and had sold 10
dozen before I had even got to the check out.
I’m looking forward to our look around The Castle those that have
already done it say you need to go a few times to take it all in that it is
that great.
My look back this month is fundraising the fun we had and still have
at caterings, cheese roll making and the great dedication when it
comes to raffle selling but my favourite is cheese roll making yes it’s
hard work but oh so much fun laughter and companionship. This to
me is Lions.
I had a phone call from Raeowna she is coping not to bad and is
overwhelmed by the love and support that has flown not just from
Lions but from the North Otago Community. She has her only
Granddaughters wedding coming up which all the family are all
looking forward to. The day after our phone chat Jen called in to see
her which was great.
Well my friends that’s it for now lunch time has
just about finished and I had better get back to
doing some work.
Cheers Judy
PS Thanks for the Birthday wishes they were all
very much appreciated
4DG Tony’s Thoughts.....
Summer has come with some very hot daytime
temperatures and very warm nights. This is a big
weather change from early in the season.
Now that clubs are back being active could you
please consider attracting new members to help lift
our membership up above the 1250+ required for
our District. Please help our membership co-
ordinator Vicki Gould with her efforts to encourage ”Ask One”, and also our
World President Gudrun Yngvadottir is encouraging us to have more
women members inducted.
Hopefully clubs are putting in place the new boards for next year. As
training is being offered to incoming officers, I please ask that members
attend these days.
As the District Conventions are now taking place over the next five weeks,
Shirley & I will be spending most weekends away.
With our own Convention being hosted by Rakaia Club the last weekend in
March, I encourage you to get your registrations in as soon as possible
before March 12th. The Theme for the Saturday night is “Flower Power”
which should be lots of fun.
We are looking forward to catching up with you in Rakaia.
District Governor Tony
“Together We Serve Better”
Next Board Meeting:
ARA Institute, Thursday 4th April - 7:30pm
5Genevieve Heselwood
Most of you are probably aware that I am an
Australian. I was born in Melbourne in 1944 and
consider myself to be among the first of the baby
boomers. My father had been shipped home from the
Desert Warfare in the Middle East the year before
with bullet wounds to an arm and a leg that prevented
him from continuing his war campaign and left him
with a legacy of health problems for the remainder of
his life.
I am an only child, my mother was quite a bit older
than my father and she was almost 40 when I was born. I always thought
that was why I was the only one but todays mums often start their child
bearing years at round 40. So there must have been another reason but I
never asked. They were great parents, totally devoted to one another,
talented and admired community members. When my mother died at 95 she
bore no resemblance to the vibrant mother of my youth as the ravages of
Alzheimer's left her without hair, teeth, speech or movement. Such a sad
disease.
We lived in various small towns in Victoria. My father was a shire
secretary and then a Town Clerk for some rural municipalities. At 12 I went
to boarding school, a strict Brigidine Convent Education was for me, where
girls were expected to do well and go out into the world and make their
mark. We only had 3 baths a week and the rest of the time we washed in a
basin of cold water, morning and night. We wore our school uniform 7 days
a week, from when we got up in the morning till we went to bed at night.
The gates were locked at nightfall and the school was surrounded by a high
brick wall. We never knew whether it was to keep us in or intruders out.
56 years ago I started teacher training at the Ballarat Teachers College. 2018
has seen me finally fully retired. Teaching has been a great career for me. Its
a job that you can do as little or as much of as you like. Perfect for part time
work when you have a young family or are semi retired and a job that you
can pick up anywhere in the world. Many life long friendships have been
made with staff, parents and pupils. I’m pleased to say todays children
remain as refreshing now as they were 56 years ago but I believe their
6I did my OE with a group of friends in the early70’s, travelling overland for 3
months from Katmandu to London. 24hours after leaving the high city lights
of Melbourne we were face to face with lepers begging in the streets of
Nepal. The smell of stale urine as we walked those streets still lingers in my
nostrils. Culture shock would be an understatement. We went through
Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq. Countries no longer on the tourist trail for very
obvious reasons. That was the start of many amazing travel experiences for
me. As you will be aware, travel does get into your blood and thoughts of
new experiences have never been far from my mind even when my purse
strings have been tightened. Dreams are free.
In 1975, when I was 30, I came to New Zealand encouraged by a boyfriend
I had met through mutual friends. He thought we might further our
relationship if I was over here working. (he farmed at Five Rivers). I had
applied to the Catholic Education Board in Dunedin and was appointed to St.
Josephs in Oamaru. My mother and I sat on our sunny veranda looking at the
map of New Zealand. We decided it was only a small hop to Five Rivers
from Oamaru. Little did we realise there was a bloody big mountain range in
between......I didn’t see much of the man from 5 Rivers but met Keith instead
and decided that if I didn’t settle down soon I probably never would. I have
lived on Oamaru ever since.
We have 2 children who, unlike their father, do not have withdrawal
symptoms when they head north across the Waitaki River, and have travelled
extensively. The downside of that is I have a Slovakian son in law and an
English daughter in law. They are both lovely but their roots lie elsewhere
don't they. Our Paul and Tracey are lucky enough to have cherished
memories of both sets of grandparents none of whom were young when they
were born. We now have 2 English born/England living grandchildren, 11
and 9, plus a 3 year old grandson in Dunedin.
Although I have now lived much longer in New Zealand than Australia, and
I barrack unreservedly for the All Blacks when they play the Wallabies, I
still travel on an Australian Passport. I believe one never forgoes ones
country of birth. I will always be an Australian even if it means I have had to
bear the brunt of a semi life time of back handed jokes in the process. I
spent the first 10 years of living in NZ apologising for being an
Australian……. “I’m an Australian , but don’t hold it against me !!!!“…..was
my stock phrase. Gotta love you Kiwis.

Projects
The Date for Cheese Rolls will be the 11th of May provided it is okay
with Waitaki Girls. I am waiting for them to get back to
confirm. Order forms will be handed out at next tea meeting. This is
our biggest project for woman hours, please try to give as many hours
as possible on the day to make it easier for everyone.
Judith
Membership We had two inducted at the February meeting. Jessie

Zone Report
Cabinet want to give each club $300.00 to be used towards promoting
Lions. Has also been suggested that we send copies of bulletin to
people that are interested in becoming members of Lions, as this way
they can keep up to date with the goings on. There is no national
speech maker competition this year, district is going to hold a speech
competition, but no date has been set yet.
