Week 19 and the last of our club visits. We have really enjoyed visiting all the clubs in District 9940 over the last four and a half months, meeting the Boards and the members and learning about their achievements and aspirations for the coming year.
Our last club visit was to Karori and they laid on a guided walk through Zealandia, the Kariori Wildlife Sanctuary. This ran a wee bit over schedule meaning the Board meeting was a little truncated so we will have to repeat the whole process again in the New Year. I will let the pics below do the talking. Clubs that have helped with fundraising and development of the Wildlife Centre are; Courtney Place, Johnsonville, Karori, Mt. Victoria, Port Nicholson, Wellington, Wellington Central, Harbour City, Wellington North, Wellington South.
We were very impressed by the projects Karori undertakes. This year their focus is the establishment of a Rotary Education Centre for students at Zealandia, an ambitious project which is estimated to cost $80,000. Already $40,000 has been found . It is hoped that other Wellington clubs will contribute to this worthwhile project which will give significant exposure to the Karori Club and Rotary in general.
I was also very impressed by the flyer that the Karori Club have produced to promote themselves and the 'Welcome to Karori' welcome pack they have sponsored. At the end of our visit we were presented with a book, 'Karori and its People', a very generous gift indeed.
