2022-23 President Jennifer Jones is eager to advance Rotary’s narrative
Jennifer Jones, Rotary International’s first female president, is the perfect leader to spread the word about the good Rotary does in the world, and inspire its members to keep going.

On Tuesday, we had the formal handover for the Rotary Club of Tawa celebrating the amazing achievements of the past year under the fantastic leadership of Past President Karyn and her Board of Directors – in spite of covid! It was a fantastic evening of celebration with almost 40 members and guests present. And so, with this, a thank you to you – all our dedicated members – who have contributed so much and participated in club activities across a difficult year.
Stepping in as a new President, I very much appreciate that we have opportunities to build on the strong foundations from years gone by and the hard mahi you have delivered – I look forward to growing our activities and membership together!
In terms of ‘happenings’ this week; the annual plan continues to evolve and grow with more speakers being lined up; the first meeting of the new Board of Directors will be on Tuesday 5 July after our club meeting. Work has started on planning for the Pride of Work Awards by mapping out the timeline and key dates and finally, I have been invited to an event celebrating Primary School Leaders next month with the Children’s Commissioner.
On Saturday 30 July there is a commemorative dinner for Malay War Veterans being held at the RSA. If you would like to attend can you make a booking directly with the RSA contact – tickets are limited to 75. We hope to be able to have at least a table of Rotarians supporting this event. There is also the upcoming Polio Fundraiser Ride the Train to Taihape. Again, bookings are required.

This is a great opportunity to promote the work of Rotary, and have a trip on a steam train, so please spread the word amongst friends and relatives so that they can have the opportunity to take part.
As People of Action, we understand that fulfilling that vision requires a plan.
More than a century ago, we pioneered a new model of service leadership grounded in person-to-person connections. Today, those connections are a network that spans the globe—bridging cultural, linguistic, generational, and geographic barriers—and shares the vision of a better world. As People of Action, we understand that fulfilling that vision requires a plan.
Our club members are dedicated people who share a passion for both community service and friendship. Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back.
