Week One


Tawa Changeover with new President
Laura and Bill
It is surprising to think that it is now a week since District Changeover.  We have been preparing for our first week of visits, which begin in Wanganui.  Over the last 2 weeks we have also had the opportunity to attend a number of Club Changeovers.  These have reminded us of the tremendous work that Rotary does in the community.  It was pleasing to see a number of Paul Harris Awards being given out to club members and people in the community.

It was great to return to my hometown, Petone, for the Rotary Club of Petone’s changeover.  We had the privilege of sitting beside my old primary school headmaster, Brian Fox, and swap a few yarns.  It was also great to catch up with an old class mate.

Porirua Sundown Changeover with
new President Gordon and Kath
It was special event for Porirua Sundown when their Changeover coincided with their 50 year anniversary.  They had a great turnout with past members and representatives from the other clubs in the cluster.  A great night was enjoyed by all.





The week ended on Sunday enjoying the Rotary club of Marton’s Changeover with a Greek Olympic theme.  We then headed to Wanganui to start our year of visits.
