Do YOU want to Make A Difference to the Youth and our Community? Are you committed to making positive changes in our community and the world while having a bit of fun at the same time? Our club members are dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship.

Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group who share your drive to give back while having fun.

Also check out our major fund raising project for 2021 "Lot 47" on the corner of Searle Drive and Kohinoor Lane in Prospector Park, Cromwell. This was previously the camping ground. We are "Building a House for St John and our Community". When I say "We" I mean a whole lot of us. We've got Rotarians, Lions, lots of Tradies, Suppliers and many other volunteers giving of their products, services and time to build this house.

Membership update

Welcome to our newest member Wainita Proctor and we also look forward to two more members transferring from Western Australia once they get through MIQ. It is also with regret we advise John Wekking has decided to resign from Rotary.

Our membership numbers have been pretty flat for some time so can we all give some thought to who you could approach to join our club!

Street Smart Event

The Street Smart was run again on the 13^{th of} October, at the Highlands Motorsport Park. Another successful day with 28 students attending .

It turned out to be a nice day for all. The students enjoyed themselves and the many parents who attended said they really got a lot out of the day also.

Hopefully, another bunch of teenagers will be driving safely on our roads.

Thanks again to my team. Richard and Paula Jackson, Jennie Nicol, Jan Hopcroft and Keith Morgan .

The next event is on the 15th of December 2021, so if your child or grandchild is on a learners or restricted licence then this course is for them. Let me know and we can set them up.

Community Bowls - beginning November

Community Bowls is beginning again in early November.

Last year we had 4 teams entered so this year I have created space for 4 teams to sign up again. But there is no limit to the number of teams we can enter at this stage so let me know if spaces have filled and I will create more! No experience is necessary. It is a community social event and club members are extremely helpful to newcomers - lots of fun and laughter and no pressure :)

I have indicated 4 members per team on the sign up list, however a team is made up of 3 people on the night. Having a spare person in each team gives options if members are absent for whatever reason.

Some people have already told me they are keen to play so I have put those teams/names onto the sign up list already but there are still plenty of places available so get your name on the list for a fun time.

House and Garden Tour 2021

ROTARY HOUSE and GARDEN Tour 2021

More than 12 homes and gardens in the Cromwell - Pisa - Bannockburn region are set to go on display on the 30^th October 2021 for the third Rotary House and Garden tour. All the money from ticket sales will be going K9 Medical Detection New Zealand to support their work to improve the health outcomes of all New Zealanders through the use of genetically selected dogs working in a controlled clinical environment to assist in the early detection of cancer and other diseases. A wonderful group of sponsors have agreed again this year to cover all the project's organisational costs such as advertising, printing, ticket distribution etc, so in purchasing a ticket you are in effect making a significant donation to K9 Medical Detection New Zealand and getting to have a very enjoyable day in and around Cromwell.
PLEASE NOTE: Because of the nature of the terrain at some houses, there is no wheelchair access, nor are the visits in general, toddler or young child friendly.

Registrations for the event are now closed - thank you for your support.

For those who have signed up and paid - please keep an eye on your eMail inbox for detailed instructions.
