NZ Police Fleet Services Manager Brian Yanko gave a most insightful and interesting presentation about the NZ Police fleet of 4,000 vehicles including marked and plain police cars, utes, motorcycles, dog cars, boats, prisoner transport vehicles, helicopters and even tractors!.
Prominent local dentist and long serving club member and Paul Harris Fellow Gary Lawrence needs our support and donations for the 2023/2024 Rotary Volunteer Dental Aid Project to Taveuni Island, Fiji.
Gary has taken a team of dentists to the island of Taveuni since 2010 to attend to the oral health of primary schools children. They have no care otherwise and their teeth are typically in a very poor state, manifesting in many poor general health outcomes. The project was interrupted in 2019 /2022 by the pandemic.
The projects goals are:
Murray Lobb, Rod Lingard, Martin Hening, Gary Lawrence, Kevin Stratton, Richard May (not in photo) after a recent clean up working bee at the Otaihanga wetlands.
The Otaihanga Project in 2005 (celebrating 100 years of Rotary) involved clearing the wetlands of introduced species, replacing with native trees, flaxes and grasses.
Another Rotary project for all of our community to enjoy and share with family and friends.
