J R McKenzie Youth Education Fund
Something you may not know about your local Rotary Club is that they administer applications to the J R McKenzie Youth Education Fund, the aims and objects of which are:
"To assist in the betterment, education, advancement and physical welfare of the youth in the community, particularly in cases where bereavement, sickness or family disturbances leave the children in need of assistance if they are to continue their studies."
Grant Criteria
The Fund wishes to help where death,
sickness, family break up or economic
hardship cause difficulty for young
people and their caregivers to meet the
costs of their education. Applications
must be related to a young person’s
education, although this term can be
broadly interpreted. The Fund will not
cover general tuition fees, unless there
are unusual circumstances.
The Fund is administered entirely by Rotary clubs
which have a separate
committee who receive and consider all
applications from individuals (through
Rotarians), other Rotary clubs, community
organisations, school principals, ministers
and social workers. After considering the
degree of hardship and seeing evidence
of a degree of self-help, they distribute
grants to the most deserving cases
through the nearest Rotary Club, who
can discuss problems and offer advice,
if requested. Applications are invited
around September of each year, but can
be made at any time.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
