Papanui Rotary was lucky to have a booth sponsored by Real Estate at the Baby Show over the weekend. They sponsored 3 prizes for a raffle with the proceeds going towards the Rotary Community BreastMilk Bank. We met several new mums who were extremely grateful to been the recipients of donor Milk from our milkbank and of course we're very happy to support the raffle. After expenses we raised $450 which will go towards our running costs. It costs $32k every year to keep this free service open .If you can donate or help us with a fundraiser ease get in contact as every $ helps. Rotary is investing in the health of the next generation.

Volunteering has many benefits. You have the satisfaction of knowing you have helped someone today.
Every little bit helps make it easier for another volunteer so if you have some time to spare and would like to do some behind the scenes work, we would love to hear from you.

To celebrate Christmas we have erected a tree along with 19 others as part of a fundraiser with the Rotary Otautahi Passport club at St Paul's Anglican Church on Harewood Rd Christchurch.
Entry is a food item for the local foodbanks and you can vote for your favourite trees. The trees look awesome inside the church so come along and be wowed!
