"Her late Majesty famously declared that on her 21st Birthday, her whole life would be dedicated to serving the Nation and Commonwealth. Rarely has such a promise been so well kept." Thank you for your service, and Rest in Peace your Majesty. I took this photo at a guest speaker night at the Aigantighe last week. it was about the importance of Friends organizations. As we all know, volunteering and serving our community is a huge part of our kiwi culture. We can connect communities, support each other and enrich lives. So on today's public holiday, while i think of someone who gave her life to serve others, i raise a glass to acknowledge everyone who cares, and does their bit, to make all of our lives better.
