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 yet another such achievement.
Books for the Solomons
In 2002, in response to an appeal from a Wellington VSA lawyer working in Kirakira, the provincial capital of the Makira-Ulawa Province in the Solomon Islands, the Rotary Club of Karori collected and despatched some 3,000 books to Honiara for subsequent distribution to the library in Kirakira and schools on Makira (also known as San Cristobal) Island.
Applications for membership are always welcome

Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
