There are a few special events coming up this year:
  • Papeete Club is celebrating its 60th anniversary on 9 February 2019

  • Rarotonga will celebrate their 50th anniversary on 23 April although their charter date was 05 February 1969

  • Nadi will also reach the 50 year milestone on 29 May 2019

This is a wonderful achievement to all these clubs.

30 Years of Women in Rotary

This is a special milestone for Rotary.  It was a hard fought fight to have women admitted to Rotary in the US in 1988/89.  We will be celebrating the many women in NZ and our district who have made a big contribution to Rotary.  Through the District Facebook page and website (in addition to the Rotary Oceania Facebook and website) over the next few months we would like to recognize the work that Rotary women throughout NZ and the Pacific do publicly and behind the scenes. This is a great opportunity to highlight women in your Clubs and Districts who have gone above and beyond the call of Service above Self. We are wanting to know those really special women and to thank them for being part of our Rotary family. Please send your suggestions to Leanne Jaggs, District 9920 Publicity Committee Chair.

We will be celebrating right across New Zealand on Saturday 6 April.  Watch this space for a special event in Auckland for Districts 9910 and 9920.
