The Rotary Club of Karori is one of 36,754 clubs with 1.2 million members in 220 countries and territories around the world.
Our club was chartered in May 1982. This, our 40th anniversary year, is an opportunity to reflect on, and celebrate, the Club’s many activities and achievements over the years. Here is another such achievement:

Te Papa pre-opening tours.
In 1996, our Club, together with three other local Rotary Clubs, organised three incredibly popular pre-opening tours of Te Papa.
We were very fortunate that the site Project Manager was a member of the Rotary Club of Hutt City because, for health and safety reasons, members of the public were not normally permitted on the building site.
The Open Days commenced in 1996 and were repeated in 1997 and again, in 1998, once the building was finished. Over the three years, these tours raised $100,000 for a variety of very worthy causes.

If you’d like to learn more about Rotary and the personal satisfaction and growth that comes from serving others, please contact Andrea Skews, E andrea.skews@gmail.com, M 022 073 5548 or Phil Oliver, E phil@praxissoftware.co.nz, M021 292 7001.

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Camilla

Reporter Community News

"Hi everyone, My name is Camilla and as you can see, I am a very beautiful girl.

I love attention and cuddles and in addition to provide people with lots of love, I enjoy going for walks where I can show everybody how beautiful I actually am. My forever home would be a home where in the beginning someone would be by my side most of the time. Then I can get used to your routine and my new environment. I would benefit from continuing my basic training, which I've started at SPCA. I've done well so far with getting used to new people and new routine, but I need my new owner to continue the training with me, so I can become an even smarter doggo. I can be very shy with new people, particularly tall men or loud strangers. My new home would need to be a home with confident older kids or teenagers. My new owners will need to introduce me to new people slowly, as the world can be scary at times, and I haven't had too many people to trust in my previous life. A home with a confident, patient dog may work well for me. I enjoy playing with other social dogs. Unfortunately I am not suited to a home with cats/small animals."

I bought these boots in Auckland , but found they are not a perfect fit for me and I have never worn them.
The red boots are genuine leather with non-slip rubber soles. They are marked as a size 41 (11) which is my size, but they are a too tight when I wear socks, so they are better for someone who is a size 10. The width is medium. $40
The Unisex black boots are suède with an imitation sheepskin lining. Soles are non-slip synthetic. It says size 10 inside, but they are quite big on me ( size 11 W) so that may be a man’s size 10. Great for winter.
$20.

DANCE. THEATRE. FARCE.

Unapologetically indigenous and indescribably farcical, Tawata Productions’ new work Ngā Rorirori (AKA The Idiots) is the unmissable return to the theatre Wellington has been waiting for.

Unapologetically indigenous and indescribably farcical, Tawata Productions’ new work Ngā Rorirori (AKA The Idiots) is the unmissable return to the theatre Wellington has been waiting for.

A rural marae has hit the jackpot – if they pass one final hurdle, that is.

The haukāinga must convince the Government’s Chief Executive of the Department of ‘Whenua, Whakapapa and Whatever’ that they are the true descendants of their eponymous ancestor!

If they are successful at doing so, the vast coastline in their rohe reverts to their ownership, garnering millions of dollars… in back rent alone.

Part theatre, part dance, part cinema, this ground-breaking work from acclaimed Māori playwright and director Hone Kouka shows 18 - 25 June at Circa Theatre, book now at Circa.co.nz.
