An EXPO thank you to Carol Wall & OPG

F_R_RotaryŌtaki Rotary enjoyed networking with other Community organisations, and members of the public at this well organised day.

Ōtaki College Interact Club (Junior Rotary) came along and catered for members at our 24th September meeting. The funds raised on the night (over $300) and other funds raised from a Mufti Day, are going towards their current project of sponsoring an emergency Shelterbox. They are now well over half way to their target of $1,500. Thank you for a delicious meal, and keep up the good works!
