Wow! What a wonderful evening. Members, former members and partners, plus a delegation of five women from District 294 joined together to acknowledge and celebrate the past, and renew friendships on the 32nd Anniversary of Inner Wheel Wairarapa.
Chartered by Robyn Draper in 1993, then the Inner Wheel Club of South Wairarapa, had a “bitter/sweet” party at the Offering on 2 July. The vote to disband on 21 May/18 June were counted by Rob Smith, the Club’s Auditor. While this was a sad inevitability with dropping numbers affecting the Club’s viability, the occasion was a true celebration of friendships gained.
Our favourite meeting venue, The Offering did us proud with fabulous food and service. The room looking magnificent with beautifully decorated tables, lights overhead, and photo displays, was complemented by the happiness and chatter of the participants. The formalities included special presentations and award ceremonies. In addition, everyone received a commemoration booklet featuring photos and a brief overview of Inner Wheel’s history and ethos.
