Yesterday at the Canterbury Club in Christchurch, Dame Cindy and Dr Davies attended a luncheon hosted by the Christchurch Business Club. The Club was originally founded in 1931, and serves as a place for Christchurch's business leaders to build connections and share experiences and ideas.
In her speech at the luncheon, Dame Cindy commended those in attendance for their contributions to a thriving Christchurch, and took the opportunity to quote Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: ‘The context of the lives of the next generation is being set, here and now, not so much by the legacy of science or wealth or political structure that we shall leave behind us, but by the example of our attitudes and behaviour to one another, and by trying to show unselfish, loving and creative concern for those less fortunate than ourselves.’
