Rotary and the Forests of Peace and Remembrance
100yearcelebreations environment
 
The first plantings of the 'Rotary 100 Forests of Peace and Remembrance' project are being done.  This is a New Zealand-wide project to celebrate the centenary of Rotary commencing in NZ and Australia.
 
After Plimmerton Rotary club gained tentative approval from the Rotary 100 organisers, MPI and PCC for a planting area for Taupo Swamp the Plimmerton and Porirua Rotary Clubs are now planting the first 1000 trees/plants over three Saturdays in October.
 
These are the first of 10,000 wetland trees/plants to be planted around part of Plimmerton Domain that PCC will retire from sports field usage. PCC has recently completed building a dog exercising area on this sports field. The full article outlining the initial project development is here.

IMPRESSIVE YOUNG ORATORS
 
September is Basic Education and Literacy Month in the Rotary International calendar so this story from Dargaville Rotary is an excellent example of what Rotary clubs do achieve for their communities.
In contrast to many of our Govid-ravaged events, this year’s NW Schools Junior Speech Contest was a glowing success, attracting nine young orators from six schools and a total audience of about 80 to Dargaville’s Lighthouse Function Centre.
