Pictured are President Cameron and Craig Radford after planting a tree donated by the club for Ellen Henderson. Ellen’s contribution to Rotary is fondly remembered by those of us who had the pleasure of knowing her. The Chirnside family also planted a tree donated by us for Wyn. All up 50 trees were planted and the event was well attended by members of the public, Keep Dunedin Beautiful, Task Force Green and the Mayor. It’s great for Rotary Dunedin to have had such a key role in this project over many years, the planting on this special section of the West Harbour trail is now completed and all the trees are growing!Pictured are President Cameron and Craig Radford after planting a tree donated by the club for Ellen Henderson.

Dunedin Rotary partnered with a club in Christchurch who every year send a container to either Samoa, Tonga or Fiji.This year Tonga will receive supplies that they have requested including some textiles. They were wanting sheeting (two pallets) which Preens Linenmaster has provided in partnership with Kaans Catering providing the logistics to Christchurch.
Sunday was a lovely day for a bush walk on the Ross Creek tracks - with the added bonus of stopping every 50 metres or so to deploy a bait station in the "War Against Wasps"Eight of our members participated, joining teams from all local (Dunedin & Mosgiel) Rotary clubs for the project coordinated by Robert Gale (Dunedin South), and postponed from last week because of inclement weather predictions, and observed feeding patterns of the target species. Stage 2 occurs next Sunday - the retrieval of the (hopefully) empty bait stations.
I joined the Rotary Club of Invercargill 8 years ago. I have been an active member and director of various committees' within that time. My initial interest in Rotary was to meet like minded people within the community. That fellowship is what keeps me in Rotary today, I enjoy the personal connections. I had previously been selling Real Estate in Invercargill for 15 years and am now enjoying building my business up at Ray White in Dunedin. My partner John, and I moved up earlier this year and we love Dunedin. I enjoy being active and outdoors, also reading, family and my lovely dog Jackson.
