Karori Rotary is celebrating 40 years of service.
The Rotary Club of Karori is one of 36,754 clubs with 1.2 million members in 220 countries and territories around the world.
Our club was chartered in May 1982. This, our 40th anniversary year, is an opportunity to reflect on, and celebrate, the Club’s many activities and achievements over the years. Here is another such achievement:
Te Papa pre-opening tours.
In 1996, our Club, together with three other local Rotary Clubs, organised three incredibly popular pre-opening tours of Te Papa.
We were very fortunate that the site Project Manager was a member of the Rotary Club of Hutt City because, for health and safety reasons, members of the public were not normally permitted on the building site.
The Open Days commenced in 1996 and were repeated in 1997 and again, in 1998, once the building was finished. Over the three years, these tours raised $100,000 for a variety of very worthy causes.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
