Our stories over one hundred years of service in New Zealand and the Pacific. A look at where Rotary came from, how it developed and its future, captured in an easy-to-read and beautifully laid out book.
The District 9910 conference at Waitangi had all of that and more. Great venue, awesome camaraderie, informative speakers and input from those who couldn't be there in person. In our centenary year, we 'honoured the past' and 'built the future' with input from motivated and forward-thinking young adults.
The Rotary clubs of New Lynn and Henderson and Rotalite West have transformed a wild and woolly pond area at Waitakere Hospital into a beautiful, workable, restful space for patients, visitors and all West Aucklanders to enjoy. In Rotary Henderson’s 60th year the club was determined, despite COVID-19 to deliver a large-sized project which would allow all members to participate in some hands-on work – whether it be chainsawing, hauling branches, mulching, planting, or organising morning teas and lunches for the hungry volunteers.
Another successful Global Grant project was completed at Asanvari School, Moewa Island, Vanuatu recently. The project was funded by a Rotary Global Grant with the support management of SHaRM and the technical supervision of Cyrille Mainguy Company.
March 8 we mark International Women’s Day and it is now 32 years since Rotary International changed the constitution to enable women to join. District 9910 was the first in New Zealand to have a female Governor and now, despite only being 27% of our membership, a third of our district roles are filled by women.
Rotary Bay of Islands annual beach dig on Paihia Beach creates summer fun and memories for all
District 9910 had five students who all stayed overseas for their exchange year and are now back safe and sound. Thanks to COVID 19 the students all experienced life in their host countries in different ways than they could ever have predicted. We tell them it will be the experience of their lifetime - but this wasn't quite what we meant! This is the first time in 60 years the Rotary Youth Exchange programme has been halted. Hopefully, Jan 2022 will see an outbound group but at this stage, it’s one day at a time.
