Rotary Youth Exchange
Many clubs will have enjoyed having a youngster from somewhere exotic as an exchange student and been able to give a local youngster the advantage of spending a year overseas learning a language and growing up.
Calling all D9920 Road CyclistsI would like to gauge the interest of D9920 Rotarian road cyclists as to who would be interested in putting together a New Zealand (starting with D9920) Cycling to Serve Fellowship.
Depending on interest we could go as far as setting up something official and register it with Rotary International or just have a group of like-minded cycling Rotarians who get together from time to time and hit the road.
Please contact Richard Thorpe from the Rotary Club of Botany East Tamaki if you are interested.

Thank you to the good people of Downtown, Ellerslie, Lautoka, Mangere, Mt Eden, Otahuhu, Papakura, Parnell, and St Johns, all of whom have added my name to their bulletin circulation list. If your club’s name is not here I don’t know what you’re doing!

PURPLE Shirt Day – END Polio
Friday 19th October 2018 (the day before Labour Day weekend) is the day when we are holding our Purple Shirt Day. It is the time when we ask each of the pupils from each our four local Primary Schools to donate towards Polio Plus. When the funds raised by the children reach Polio Plus they will have been multiplied six times.
We are looking for at least one Rotarian, preferably more, to represent the Club at each school. Wearing a purple shirt or blouse is encouraged. Materials will be made available closer to the time.
If you can help please contact Brian FitzPatrick,
