A huge thank you to Rotarians Lloyd Williams, Robert Higham, Allan McKay, and Andrew Harvey for their dedication at Saturday's very damp tree planting at Charles Henry Way. Despite an overnight deluge and slippery conditions (Andrew even took a tumble!), our team helped plant around 500 specialty grasses and flaxes.
Our major annual fundraiser is coming up. Please save the date and support our club.
This is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever.

Rotary Youth Driver Awareness [RYDA]
Ryda is a partnership which supports teachers on the journey as they provide their students with the tools and understanding they need to see themselves as active, responsible road citizens. Taking, largely, a student inquiry learning approach, Road Safety Education becomes part of the school culture from the first to last day of a young person’s high school life. Beyond that, Ryda provides students with the tools, habits and motivation to take action and stay safe on our roads as both drivers and passengers throughout their lives.

RYPEN Fiji 2025, 2 to 4 May 2025, Namosi Eco-Retreat
The idea of running the Rotary youth program RYPEN (Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment) have been in discussion with the Rotary D9920 Youth Committee since 2021 and Rotarians in Fiji as well as the RYLArians.
It was decided that we will run the RYPEN program in Fiji together with the RYLA graduates from Fiji and the Rotaractors. In Jun 2024 at the conclusion of RYLA 2024, the idea of RYPEN Fiji was added to the already busy schedule of RYPEN program and “Breaking Barriers”Disability Day.
