Our newest member, Tania Woodcock
Our newest member, Tania Woodcock, told us a bit about her fascinating background. She explained her heritage in Maori, telling us that her roots were in England, Ireland, Scotland and Norway although she was born and bred in Porirua East and has a very strong connection to the community. Tania lives in Plimmerton with her film-maker and fireman husband, Tony, and their son, Theo. Her working background is immense and varied both in New Zealand and internationally with a theme of service and creating value, mainly within the public service. And she's experienced long travels too, as far afield as to a Film Festival in the Arctic Circle, the pyramids in Egypt and the west coast of America. What an asset Tania is to our Rotary family.

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!
