DG Raewyn doing her bit for Rotary’s public image

DG Raewyn Kirkman (9930) writes on hrer Blog:
A few months ago I decided to get the Rotary wheel put on the cover of my spare tyre on the back of my little red Terios - number plate VRYRED.  When I was interviewed by the Waikato Times a few weeks back, they took a photo of it – looks really sharp out on the road and I have had quite a few comments about it – so come on you  4WD owners – how about matching me??
 As well as the full page article in the Waikato Times, I have had two television interviews lately that you might like to tune into.  While Geoff and I were doing our club visits in Hawkes Bay last week, I was interviewed for the 30 min Hawkes Bay TV show called ‘Chatroom”.  That will show on Friday 5 August at 7.30 pm on TVHB on UHF channel 51 and be re-broadcast on Saturday 6 August at 7.30 am and 12.30 pm.  Apparently it will also be sent to the other regional channels and could play on Cue TV which is on Sky 110 or Freeview channel 23.  You can also see it on www.tvhb.co.nz after Friday.
This week, I was interviewed for a six minute slot on Central TV news (Waikato Bay of Plenty), and that will show on Monday 1 August at 7.30 pm and repeated again the next day at 12.30 pm. Central TV broadcast on UHF channel 40 and Freeview channel 30. 
When I spoke at a district membership and PR seminar five years ago and commented that we needed a new poster boy or girl for Rotary, I didnt plan on being it!!  I guess the novelty value of being a (reasonably) young and female District Governor has its benefits for Rotary’s public image so I am making the most of it!!
