The big project for this year - in amongst all our normal other projects - was organizing the District 9910 / 9920 Challenge camp. Fifteen Rotary International Youth Exchange Students were matched up with nineteen physically challenged local students - and sent to camp for 5 days of challenges and fun. Many, many hours went into organizing this and it was loudly proclaimed as a huge success by all of those involved. For futher details: Challenge Camp 2011
2010 was the Club's 40th Anniversary - celebrated with many of our former members at a party

Matt approached Rotary with help to install garden beds on a spare patch of Council land and this was started at the District 9910 conference in March. Further garden beds were required and Waitakere Rotary became involved with donation of materials and a Rotary/Community working bee to install them. The Council have since supplied water to the site and last seen the plants were thriving. More about this on our Community page Our major fundraiser is the 9th Annual Soapbox Derby |
