Meet Rotary
“My wife and I moved to Kerikeri in 2016. I had been a member of Rotary in Christchurch for 20 years and so, not knowing anyone in Kerikeri, it was the logical move to join the Kerikeri RC. This instantly …
Neil Blanchfield, Rotary Club of Kerikeri“I enjoy being part of a group of like-minded people who work hard to improve our community in lots of different ways; from funding youth exchange visits through to sponsoring children to attend science fairs, and everything in between.”
Ian Faulkner, Rotary Club of Kerikeri“Rotary was a great way of getting to know like-minded people in the community when I first moved to the area. Being involved has helped me feel part of this wonderful community and helped make Kerikeri home.”
Bruce Mathieson, Rotary Club of Kerikeri“I wanted to become involved with a community organisation. Rotary ticked all the boxes: fellowship, leadership, contribution to both local and international communities – and totally different to my day job.”
Vicki Douglas, Rotary Club of Kerikeri“Rotary offers me a great way to get involved with our community in a worthwhile way. It’s a great mixer, too, and has helped me form lasting friendships with folk I might otherwise not have met.”
Peter Heath, Rotary Club of Kerikeri“The fellowship of Rotary is hugely rewarding. My favourite project is the Rotary International Youth Exchange, particularly accompanying these young people on their South Island Safari.”
Bruce Burling, Rotary Club of Kerikeri“I joined Rotary because the Kerikeri club’s fund-raisers are always so much fun to be involved in. Rotary’s big on flexibility these days and that’s important because family and work always have to come first and second.”
Alison Lemon, Rotary Club of Kerikeri“I joined Rotary when I was in my 20s and have benefitted both in business and socially from being an active member. I’ve made many lifelong friends through membership.”
Dale Simkin, Rotary Club of Kerikeri“Rotary to me is about working with like-minded people who want to give something, either big or small, back to this wonderful community.”
Bill Frazerhurst, Rotary Club of Kerikeri“The Rotary Club of Kerikeri is a very well-established club. It provides the opportunity to contribute to our community in many ways I could not otherwise have imagined.”
