Rotary is coming to Ōmokoroa
Are you interested in making Ōmokoroa a better place to live and a community where everyone is given the opportunity to fulfil their dreams?
Do you like to surround yourself with positive “can-do” people? Do you care about the environment that surrounds you? Are you motivated to make the world a better place?
If you reply ‘yes’ to any one of these questions, then Rotary might be the answer you are seeking.
The Rotary Club of Katikati, with over fifty years of community, environmental and international service experience, is helping to extend Rotary to Ōmokoroa. Examples of current Rotary projects include jointly sponsoring the “KaiGo” project that is now recovering nearly 800Kg of perishable food weekly from local supermarkets and distributing it to regional Food Banks.
We work with Rotary clubs in California and Port Vila to provide toilets and security fencing at the Victory School of Hope in Vanuatu. We provide financial support for displaced Ukrainian citizens through the international Rotary Shelter Box programme. We provide Rotary volunteers and expertise on the large Project Parore environmental restoration project, and we sponsor local college students on the Rotary Youth Driver Academy programme.
Ōmokoroa has always had a strong sense of community, and the formation of a Rotary club can only help to enhance this as the town continues to expand.
Rotarians come from all walks of life, and they share a common interest: they are women and men with a desire to serve. Service to the community, to the environment and to the world are common Rotary themes.
With that in mind, Rotary is hosting a coffee morning at the Ōmokoroa Boat Club at 9.30am on Saturday, 12th November. If you are interested in learning more about Rotary and what it has to offer, we would love to meet you. For catering purposes, please advise your plans to attend by phone or text to Jenie Strongman at 027 620 8911.
