Rotary and Life Flight Wellington

Michael from Tawa

Rotary Tawa had the pleasure of visiting Life Flight Wellington earlier this week—and what an inspiring experience it was!

Together with Rotary Karori and other clubs from across Wellington, we got a firsthand look at the incredible, lifesaving work the Life Flight crew does every day.

Did you know that Rotary was one of Life Flight’s early supporters?
In early 2023, the Rotary District 9940 Children’s Health Trust began discussions with the Life Flight Trust about how we could support their mission. That conversation led to a bold commitment: Rotary would raise $303,000 to help fund their vital work.

2 years in, and thanks to the generosity of many people and the dedication of clubs across our district, we’re proud to say that we’re already one-third of the way there!

This is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together for a cause that truly matters. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
