This week we visited the Rotary Club of Hutt City on Wednesday to announce the District Governor Nominee 2015/16, Simon Manning. This was a special occasion for Simon and his club – see earlier BLOG.
Earlier in the week on
Monday we were in Palmerston North where we visited the Rotary Clubs of
Palmerston North where 2 new members were inducted and a community PHF was
presented, and in the evening the Rotary Club of Milson. Both clubs are very active in their
local communities.
Tuesday saw us in Feilding
at the Rotary Club of Makino. Here
we joined in for an interesting fundraiser where everyone brought a wrapped
‘bottle’ which were later auctioned.
A fun event where a local charity benefited by over $600.
Following our visit to Hutt City on Wednesday, we travelled north to the Rotary Club of Waikanae. Although a small club they make a great contribution to the local community supporting a number of local projects. It was great to spend the evening with a fellow Antarctic traveller who also has his own mountain – I look forward to sharing some tales in the future.
Thursday we headed to Otaki for lunch and a visit the Wananga (Maori Iwi University) and Nga Purapura (gymnasium and well being centre) This evolved from one man’s vision and dream and is now a huge asset to the area. A fun filled evening followed.
Friday was a quiet night at home and a chance to reflect on a great week. Thank you to all the clubs involved.
