What is Rotary Day of Action?

Rotary Day of Action,  on September 24, 2022, is a day where all clubs in Rotary Zone 8 (New Zealand and Pacific Islands) have been invited to collaborate towards undertaking a specific day of action to promote, embrace and engage in a community project to show case the values of Rotary.

Continued club collaboration benefits local environment

12 years ago the Rotary Clubs in Invercargill planted out more than 250,000 native plants over 22ha on what used to be the Invercargill tip.

Invercargill Rotary clubs came together in 2019, and on March 27 this year, to check and clean up rubbish in the Estuary Walkway area.
