On Saturday October 27 Otaki Rotary in partnership with the Otaki
Village Promotions Group took part in an Otaki Community Groups Expo. Held in
the newly upgraded Main St the expo which was supported by 12 groups from the
Scouts through to Age Concern generated a carnival like atmosphere and
attracted a lot of interest from local residents.
Otaki Rotary PR committee members Chris Dungan and Marilyn Stevens
assisted by District 9940 Shelter Box Co-ordinator Warren Irving set up a
Shelter Box Tent and a general Rotary display. As Marilyn said “ we took some
of the banners in the Rotary International PR DVD down to the local print shop
got them blown up to about 1.2 meters long, laminated them and used them as
background material around the display area. This DVD is a fantastic resource.”
“I’m not sure we got any new members immediately” said Chris “but we
certainly raised people’s awareness of what Rotary does locally and overseas”
and “yes madam, Rotary isn’t just for men, we do have women members, please
take one of these brochures and a recent magazine”
