President Pierre at recent Club visit

"Wainuiomata Rotary club has managed to raise $ 500.00 or $22.72 per member at last night's club meeting for the earthquake in Christchurch.
We would like to challenge all clubs in the District 9940 to see if they can do the same.
Can you please put the challenge out there."

What can we do as a District for our neighbours?
