Change is afoot in the Rotary Friendship Exchange Committee for District 9930.
The committee has for many years consisted of Gavin Petrie, Ken Collier and Laurel Smith. They have done a sterling job welcoming Rotary groups from districts around the world to D9930 and organising departing Rotary groups of up to 12 folk to destinations in numerous countries.
The Rotary Friendship Exchange programme is a reciprocal one in which districts in turn host and send groups to overseas districts of interest.
4th February 2024 The first 4WD Trek organised by Rotary Waipukurau, superbly managed by Dan von Dadelszen and well supported by our members was held.
The route covered over 12 farms from Omakere to Porangahau Beach, where participants enjoyed refreshments as they reflected the wonderful views of the CHB coastline.
The trek concluded with superb food and drink offerings at Alastair Ormond’s and Will Foley’s properties at the beach.
Thanks to all the sponsors, rotary members/partners and of course the many trekkers. See you next year!

Thursday evening bring your Fish & Chips and meetup below the Blue Bar & Eatery and meet in the carpark or on the beach left of the Surf Club.
Following the 3 course meal, all plan to go for a walk along the beach.
The decision was made……. There was unanimous support at a well-attended club meeting to move our meeting nights from the current facility to the Papamoa Bowling Club as of 1st April 2024.
Chris presided the meeting and welcomed Keren Johnston, a Public Health Nurse, Peter & Sharon Crean, their daughter and Mary an East African Girls Project leader.
Keren Johnston showed the club the sturdy compliant and washable baby car seat that our club has donated to the Public Health Nursing Centre in Morrinsville.
She thanked us for this very valuable asset, which will be used to transport new-born babies to 4-year-olds, who need assistance to attend appointments at the Medical Centres and the Hospital in Hamilton.
We have placed a Morrinsville Rotary sticker on the seat, which will be good advertising for the club.
