Watch TV One’s “Breakfast” this Friday (Sept 24) and see Rotary in action!
TVNZ has approached Rotary for help with its plan to screen Breakfast (6am – 9am) live from Cathedral Square, to celebrate the region’s resilience and the hard work going on to rebuild.
The Rotary Club of Christchurch Sunrise has swung into action and Rotarians be manning the barbecues and handing out the sausages, decked out in Rotary caps, shorts and aprons.
At 6am host of the NZI Business programme, Corin Dann, will take a look at the cost of the earthquake (latest estimate is $4 billion, or 2.1% of national GDP). Then at 6.30am Breakfast's Paul Henry, Pippa Wetzell and Tamati Coffey will host a morning of entertainment including those live performances.
The show will also stream live so it will be seen internationally via the internet.Prime Minister John Key is travelling to Christchurch for the special broadcast and he will be joined by local dignitaries including Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker during the morning.
We anticipate Rotary will get some screen time - knowing the team there and what they have done to contribute, they will get their time in the spotlight!
There will be a lot of bucket shaking – for Red Cross and the Mayoral Fund. Why Red Cross and not Rotary? Because Rotary is not “first response” in this instance (and in fact most times outside of ERKs and Pacific Island emergencies).
Rotary’s considerable fund raising is going toward Canterbury’s rebuild. We hope the Sunrise team gets a chance to tell everyone how much Rotary has raised nationally and internationally – and to slip in the message about where people can donate! But if you miss it on Friday we will give you an update soon.
Yours in Rotary
The Multi District Task Force Communications Team
