You make a living by what you get You make a life by what you give  Winston Churchill

As we enter our new Inner Wheel year I feel that this quote of Winston Churchill’s is very appropriate to us all.  One of the objects of Inner Wheel is personal service and our theme for the year HELP bring HOPE is one that we can all identify with as we become involved in our Club activities and service projects.  Inner Wheel members make a difference to the lives of so many people who need that helping hand to bring hope into their lives.  

May 2010 is our National Conference in Invercargill, this is a very special time for Inner Wheel New Zealand as we celebrate 20 years since the formation of National Council and it is the 10^th Biennial Conference.  We are delighted that Anne Fryer our International President will be joining us at Conference.  The Conference Committee is organizing an interesting programme and I encourage you all to make plans to attend.  I can assure you that the welcome in NZ298 will be warm and friendly even if the weather may be cool.  Southland and Otago are wonderful areas to visit; perhaps you could plan a Club trip to include some sightseeing either before or after the Conference. I look forward to my visit to your District and meeting with you.

 In Friendship

INNERWHEEL NEW ZEALAND

National President Annabelle presents Plimmerton Inner Wheel member Pauline Lowe with her Margarette Golding Award. The award was created to recognise highly commendable personal service through Inner Wheel or in the community.

This award has been given to Pauline in recognition of the work that she and her husband, Steve, do for the Grace Project in Hubli, India. The Grace Project includes an orphanage, pre-school and primary school, and also holds training courses for women in tailoring and sewing along with carpentry for men.

Pauline and Steve with another couple have set up the Share and Care Ministry Trust to raise and administer funding for the Project, and they visit it annually.

Pauline now joins a very select group of less than three hundred members around the world who have been given this award.
