50 YEARS TODAY

Ian Munro from Rotary Club of Tawa Inc.

The Rotary Club of Tawa was chartered on 4 April 1970 and would have been celebrating its first 50 years this weekend. These celebrations are now on hold until later in the year.
In the meantime, publication of the 50th anniversary book, “Creating and Enhancing Communities: the first 50 Years of the Rotary Club of Tawa”, will still go ahead.

In her foreword to the book, edited by Pat Waite, Club President Judith Gray writes that, despite the many changes and challenges over the years, the club’s spirit of service has persisted.

“It has a history of vigorously supporting local and global projects, helping young people take up scholarships and programmes that have given them a chance to grow and develop into citizens of the world.”

The book touches on many of these projects and the people involved and will be available for the public to purchase in due course.
