SEASON’S GREETINGS from the Rotary Club of Tawa
2018 has been a great year as a result of the support of the people of Tawa. When you support events like the Book Fair and Toot4Tucker you are helping Rotary make a difference locally and globally in these ways.
LOCALLY: re-stocking the Foodbank; supporting the work of the Life Education Trust, Foster Hope, the Stroke Foundation, Pest Free Tawa, Ronald McDonald House, the Hospice, Westpac Rescue Helicopter, Epilepsy NZ and the Light Party; putting Dictionaries in Prison and in Schools, and a defibrillator in the MenzShed; hanging flower baskets in the shopping precinct; and helping with street collections, Spring into Tawa and the re-establishment of Probus.
Rotary has been able to send young locals to Rotary Leadership, Science & Technology, and Innovative Young Minds courses and recognise the Tawa Young Employee of the Year.
GLOBALLY, we sent some medical aid to Timor-Leste, clothing for Solomon Islands’ children, a shelter box to Indonesia, a contribution towards polio eradication, a student to the UN Pacific Forum and an exchange student to Canada; while hosting exchange students from Belgium and Canada and having a presence at the Presidential Peacebuilding Conference.
May you have a merry and peaceful Christmas.
Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.
