It’s hard to believe time has gone by so fast and that this Rotary year is coming to the end. on Sunday 30th July, Immediate Past President Janet voiced how it has been a privilege and where she has been inspired. "A big thank you to the committee and all club members for their generous time and financial contributions towards Rotary services and projects we have worked on together." Janet recently come back from attending Rotary International Convention for the first time in Hamburg, Germany and shared one thing that deeply touched her. By attending such a grand scale international event and being surrounded by more than 20,000 like-minded enthusiastic Rotarians, it helped to redefine your goals and values.

From "be the Inspiration", we move forwards to continue our good work under President Walter's leadership to "connect Rotary to the world".

It was exceptional to establish this club in New Zealand on its migrant base, then it progressed to learn how to be a genuine Rotarian also being proactive in District 9920.

Our honour from District Conference in Napier

Posted on May 14, 2019

It started from a comprehensive "Review and Preview" to further understand the RI vision, strategies, directions through status of our District, as well as retrieving what D9920 has collaborated and accomplished at many aspects. The colourful Napier embraced Rotarians not only an amazing conference but also local cultural varieties with many unexpectedness.

One of the biggest unexpectedness was undoubtedly the award of Club Project Excellence to honour our Club! The Shooting for Oxygen is marked an experience-design innovation to engage the empathy for a great cause, which lasted for 6 months with a number of signature moments to work with cluster clubs and more. The cohesion throughout club members has been booming even if we were not certain about the performance outcome in the beginning, and now it turned to a glory of being recognised and further motivates our club to contribute for next year.
