Area 3 meeting is held annually bringing together the 5 clubs; from Marlborough to Christchurch. This year was hosted by the Christchurch North Club and Area 3 Director Anna Arps.
Our guest speaker was Melissa Haberfield, chief executive of the Canterbury Medical Institute who talked about their research and her experience in Tourism and events.
Her pearls of wisdom:
Bring childlike joy to be in awe of your experiences
Look at challenges as growth
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams
Have only positive expectations
Make your heart be the beauty that surrounds you
Her daughter Gabi Haberfield a 16-year-old student at Christchurch Girl’s High School talked about her experience recovering from concussion; the effect it had on her, and the importance of seeking help.
