I really just want a rest.’’ A well deserved rest, to say the least. Vincent has been serving the community through the council for two decades, the last seven years as its chief executive officer. Initially, she held the community services manager role before moving on to be the community and environment group manager. Vincent described her time at the council as ‘‘special’’ and keeps her colleagues in high regard. ‘‘It is the people that make a place and they’ve been magnifi- cent.’’ Messages and phone calls of gratitude and support from both Outgoing Manawatu District Council chief executive officer Lorraine Vincent taking some time out at home. past and present council staff have been flooding in since the take it into the future.

The sounds of ukuleles will soon be heard from Taihape Area School (TAS) after its acquisition of ten of the instruments through a Rotary Club initiative. Head of performing arts Timoti Pekamu said the ukuleles were not exclusively for TAS students and any school-aged children in the community were welcome to take part. ‘‘It’s another door that’s going to open for our kids creativity as well as their confidence’’, he said. ‘‘Music is always a great confidence booster.’’ A variety of businesses supported the venture by buying one of the ukuleles. ‘‘It’s a little easier on the ear than the recorder,’’ said Rotary member and instigator of the initiative Michael Andrews. ‘‘It’s easy to play and basically it’s going to allow all the kids who have never had any access to a musical instrument something they can quickly learn to play. When they start strumming they can turn around and see nine other people playing the same tune and away they go, they’re in a band.’’ Andrews said the Rotary port- folio this year was to ‘‘help the club grow in the community’’. ‘‘The best way to get into the community is to get in through Taihape Area School students become acquainted with ukuleles donated through a Rotary initiative.
