As part of our club’s centenary celebrations Craig Radford has written "Helping Hands" a history of the last 100 years of Rotary in Dunedin.
While Craig’s book nods to the past 100 years, it really takes off from where Gordon Parry’s 75-year history ended to highlight the last 25 years of our club.
It is a rollicking good read that you won’t want to miss, you can purchase for $35 per copy.
I can now confirm that we will be collecting on FRIDAY 12 MAY at CENTRE CITY NEW WORLD from 10.00 AM
We currently have sufficient volunteers to cover until 5.00 pm (1 person per 1 hour shift). Additional volunteers are still welcome and would allow us to extend our duty a bit, or double up collectors during likely busy times.
Mick Field was a significate contributor to the success of the West Harbour Recreational Trail project carried out by our Rotary Club. Mick had retired as a Landscape Architect and senior manager with the DCC. He was seconded as a volunteer to the project by our project leader Darrel Robinson. Mick carried out much of the research into the history of the harbour basin which was translated onto information boards along the trail. Also using his skills he provided graphical concept designs for the landscaping of the trail along with planting plans and plant selection. He would be seen onsite many Saturday mornings with Darrel and the project team. Our Club owes a debt of gratitude to Mick Field.

Centenary Celebrations
We began the festivities with a small morning tea at Nichols Garden Centre. Members Claire Haines and Susan Schweigman along with former member Catherine Goodyear, who couldn't make it to the dinner event, enjoyed getting to meet our guests of honour Sir Anand and Lady Susan Satyanand.

On Saturday 6 May we gain a new Head of State, King Charles III. What can our new king learn to do - and what not to do - from the evidence of the adventurous reigns of King Charles I and II?
