Here are some examples of some of the inspiring events that have taken place in our communities over the last couple of months:

  • Papeete Rotary Club celebrated their 60th anniversary in style; 
  • Taravao Tahiti-iti club put on a Magic show for about 500 children from their local community;
  • DG Ingrid's own club of Parnell organised supermarket chain Countdown’s annual golf tournament for suppliers and raised over $140,000 for Dementia Auckland;
  • Waiheke ran a very successful Onetangi Beach Races for the 21st year.  See here for their great write-up in the Island magazine;
  • Auckland South showed us how to 'Shoot for Oxygen' and have a load of fun while also raising money for the Oxygen project in Fiji and raising Rotary’s profile;
  • Highbrook organised a Fun Run in their local community that got over 600 people out and moving.

And these are only the larger events – I am sure there are many more happening that superbly demonstrate who we are as Rotarians – People of Action.
