Our annual Golf day against the Lions Club and our own Club’s golf championships was held earlier this month at the Akarana Golf Club. The weather was kind and the course in good order. Our team of 8 retained the Richwhite Cup with 5 matches to 2 and 1 drawn. Barry Brown won the Proud Cup, David Ambler the Whitney Cup for over 60s and the Len Houzzer Cup for Lions was won by Mike Lomas. Best Stableford was Don Jane with 33 points. Thanks to the Akarana Golf Club, Murray Peck and especially Denis Black for ensuring a successful day.

Secondary school education in Fiji is neither free nor compulsory, which is why we have been supporting a project since 2012 to help address this issue. The Rotary Club of Tavueni Island has set up a fund to pay for secondary school education for students who would not otherwise be able to attend high school. The success rate for these students, most of whom are from single parent families, is very high, with many going on to study at university. Our aim this year is to raise $2000, to match the District grant we have received, allowing our Club to donate $4000 towards this very worthwhile project. If you would like to make a donation, payments can be made to the following account and you will receive a receipt for tax purposes in due course:
