Rotary statement on recent polio detections in U.S., Europe
The recent detection of the vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 case in New York, USA, and isolates in several environmental samples collected in London are stark reminders that as long as polio exists anywhere, it is a threat everywhere.
What new fresh projects can we find in our Community?
Who is up for the challenge to find new exciting, meaningful projects, that can make a real difference, where others might want to join us? Call Joe or chat to a Board Director.
Note, do not use any other method as messages are not cleared and can be lost.
Club Services will be advising Elaine of catering requirements and require apologies by 0930 on Mondays.
Please remember, if you are feeling unwell, or a household member is unwell, or you have possible COVID symptoms please do not attend the Rotary meeting.
Do you have a job? Please check if you're on duty (list below) and arrange a substitute if you're unable to attend.
Rosters: The Hall is open daily this week from 10:00am to 2:00pm for selling and sorting. Please pop in and help. For further information this week, call Gaylene if you require further information.
Please make contact with Tony if you can help this coming weekend, many hands make light work.
I hope those who made it to the Sprig and Fern on Sunday had a blast. An amazing effort over weekend and last Tuesday night move, sort, transfer and stack books in preparation for the fair starting on Saturday. Don’t forget if you can support the fair please contact Gaylene for weekdays and Tony for each of the weekends to get on the roster.
It’s awesome to see we have 16 nominations for the Pride in WorkAwards from businesses across Tawa, the work Pat and Judith (and others) have put into this is paying real dividends to set us up for a really spectacular evening on the 18th!
The first day of the Bookfair has been an amazing effort on behalf of the team – thank you on behalf of everyone who has and will be contributing. Our sales this year on day 1 have well surpassed last year…..lets look to busting our target!
Opportunity – driving support needed
I had a call from a lovely lady (Lily) who was referred from the local CAB. She is currently taking driving lessons from A1 to get her restricted licence. She would like someone to help her practice driving in between my lessons and lives in Linden/Tawa. She doesn’t have a car to practice with but is willing to pay $40 for a practice session, and provide fuel vouchers, for petrol. Her contact details are (04) 2324486 or mobile: 0274393849 – if you are reaching out to help Lily could you let me know please.
On Tuesday we have Martin Garcia talking on the Rotary Foundation, the AGM and a Board meeting after the club meeting – feel free to stay and listen to what goes on at the Board.
It’s awesome to see we have 17 nominations for the Pride in WorkAwards from businesses across Tawa.
Please note: All payments for meals must be pre-paid and settled prior to the meeting. There will be no cash payments taken on the night.
The cost is $30.00 per person for this special evening of celebration.
Rotarians, please use the apology system (email ) to notify your numbers including your guests as soon as possible. (it would be good to have this completed by next Saturday evening)
The District AGM will be held, as last year, by Zoom at 10.00am on Sunday 20th November. The Quorum for this meeting will be 21 Clubs represented by Officers or a Member holding a Proxy vote (details on Proxy voting will be circulated in late October).
The District Conference will start on the evening of Friday 17 March 2023, and continue through Saturday 18th and Sunday 18th March at Southwards Car Museum.
A reminder that RYLA will take place from 25-29 January 2023 and applicants are being sought. Please consider whether you can identify a young person between the ages of 18-24 who shows leadership promise and would benefit from the encouragement and self-development that this intensive leadership programme offers. Please see Gaylene Lines for further information.

Kia ora Joe and Rotary Members from Judith Havill
This email gives to links to the story of a friend of mine
Rachael teaches part time at Tawa College (obviously she is not able to hold down a full time job)
They have also bought a home in Tawa this year and her 6 year old goes to a Tawa Primary School.
I was hoping that this might be a project that Rotary could help with
Below is a message that Rachel sent to us
Thanks
Judith Havill
Kia ora koutou colleagues,
I've agonised over whether or not to share this with you all, and eventually decided you could ignore it if you weren't interested. So, please feel free to do that.
Most of you know about my daughter Lauren and her medical complexity. One element of her care which has been difficult to manage and fund is transporting her, and our two aging cars are at the end of their lives. This Give-a-little page, set up by a friend, is hoping to make transport a bit easier.
None of us are on crazy big salaries, and I want you to know I don't expect donations, but I'd really appreciate it if you would consider sharing this on your social networks, or emailing to friends who could be interested.
Have a fab weekend, and enjoy this pic of Lauren for inspiration.
This change takes up the domain name service that’s available through Rotary ROZops Oceania at a discounted rate, and the advantages of a service that’s familiar with Rotary.
Tawa Rotarians are encouraged to bookmark and to share this new domain name – where people can find out about Tawa Rotary, our club activities, upcoming speakers and the programme.
The more often that people visit the tawarotary.club website, the better – that will raise the profile of the website in Google searches.
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.
Did you know?
Rotarians are both women and men with a passion for service
Our professional members have significant opportunity for personal development
