The visit to the club of our new District Governor Kirsten Hawke was a good opportunity to be able to present St Johns with the proceeds fro out annual golf day. That day requires a great deal of planning and effort from Alan Davies and his team and handing over the money to such a good cause is always a fitting end to that year's work. 

Trees for Survival was a Rotary Club of Pakuranga initiative, one that has grown  from small beginnings to one which now involved in planting in areas across New Zealand. The work that the very capable team at Trees for Survival has been recognised by the 

2degrees Auckland Business Awards!
They are rightfully  thrilled to be a Finalist in the 2degrees Auckland Business Awards. This is a testament to the hard work of our fantastic team!

2025 Planting Season
With more than 160,000 plants in the ground already, the TfS 2025 planting season is not over yet!  Planting days are the culmination of hard work by schools and landowners and we are thankful to these amazing landowners (some first time and others seasoned TfS school hosts)  who have prepared sites,  cleared weeds, cooked  lunches and welcomed school groups to their property to be actively engaged in environmental restoration. Joining landowners embarking on their first planting and others experienced in restoration projects, TfS enables students to have a real impact on enhancing habitat which benefits everybody!

Here is the invitation to our Diwali celebrations. This initiative raises valuable funds for a charity and we hope you will attend this council supported event along with your family and friends.

Kindly make payment to the Rotary club of Pakuranga account 02 0223 0017811 02 with your name as Particulars and Diwali as reference.
