Close to one thousand people enjoyed yet another great February Sunday afternoon's entertainment at Tawa Rotary's Concert in the Park. The concert, compered by Murray Cameron, featured a diverse lineup of musical performances, starting with the welcoming sounds of the Tawa Learners' Band.
The highlight of the afternoon was undoubtedly the Royal New Zealand Air Force's Jive Bombers, with guest singer Moira Jean.
Supporting acts included the stirring sound of the award-winning Red Hackle Pipe Band, an energetic performance by Te Rōpū Ngahau Tawa School Kapa Haka and the polished singing of Tawa College's Blue Notes choir.


Over $14,000 was raised for Life Flight Trust and Tawa community and youth projects.

Tawa Rotary celebrated its 50th anniversary

Tawa Rotary celebrated its 50th anniversary over the weekend of 9 and 10 April 2021.
On 4 April 1970 at a dinner held at the Wellington Overseas Terminal, Rotary International presented the Charter for the new Rotary Club of Tawa to the Club’s Charter President Eldon Armstrong.
Fifty years later the Rotary Club of Tawa planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that evening with a weekend of activities. Unfortunately, COVID-19 interrupted the planning. The celebration was held in April 2021.
Over the 51 years, Tawa Rotary has contributed to the infrastructure of Tawa through numerous projects, as well as to a wide range of youth and international initiatives and projects.
Paul Harris awards were awarded to Past District Governor Martin Garcia for his service to Rotary and to Dianne Patchett for her significant service to Inner Wheel, a project in Nepal and teaching. Two of the club’s Charter members, Murray Jensen and Rewi Chaney, supported by Robert Armstrong entertained with great stories of the Club at its very beginning.
A book on the 50-year history of the Rotary Club of Tawa has been published and copies are available for purchase at $20 each. To buy a book, please contact tawarotaryclub@gmail.com.
