Today it was the turn of Waiheke's Te Huruhi Primary School to receive their dictionaries.

The Browns Bay Rotary Club visited the Waiheke Rotary Club on Nov 11. The occasion was the annual "Polio All Transit event" where Rotarians travel on Ferries, Buses and Trains all over New Zealand collecting money for the "End Polio Now" project. After being shouted coffee at Matiatia by Waiheke Rotary president Steve Hall (see photo), both clubs travelled the short distance to the Chemist shop in Oneroa to collect money there, then went to Kennedy Point to catch the Vehicular ferry, for another collection opportunity.

 

19th September 2022 was a day when Bayleys Real Estate offices around NZ each organised a project to benefit the local community.
Bayleys Waiheke combined with Waiheke Rotary to plant trees in the Waiheke Rangihoua wetlands under the guidance of the Waiheke Resource Trust.

 

Waiheke Rotary club president Steve Hall decided that this would be a good fit as this year’s World President of Rotary, Jennifer Jones, had decreed that she wanted all clubs to concentrate on our environment.

 

 

 

The Waiheke Aprport Open Day was held this year on 1st May from 9am onwards.
Rotary Waiheke was there with a Sausage Sizzle, among the exhibits of planes and vintage cars on a lovely, sunny autum day.
Raising funds has been challenging for Rotary with the cancellations of the Onetangi Beach Races and Wharf2Wharf Fun Run, but several hundred dollars was raised on the day which will go toward the annual donation of illustrated dictionaries to all year 4 students at the three primary schools on Waiheke Island.

These pupils from Waiheke Primary School are among the 101 year four pupils who received their free Usbourne Illustrated Dictionaries this year. Richard from Raw kindly brought them over to the island to save the freight costs.
