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.
Like all Rotarians, we share the ideal epitomised in the Rotary motto, “Service above Self”, and, like Rotarians everywhere, we translate our passions into relevant social causes to change lives and make lasting improvements locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
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 one such achievement:
1991: Government House Ball
One of the highpoints of the Club’s first 10 years, both a social and fundraising event, was the Club charity ball at Government House in August 1991. A most memorable occasion for those who attended, it raised nearly $5,500 for the Rotary Karori Marsden Community Trust fund.
Applications for membership are always welcome

Some Choice News!
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!
