How much is your Club involved in International projects?
Did you know that each District has a respresentative on the Rotary New Zealand World Community Service Board. Our Representative is Martin Garcia (RC of Tawa). As well as the very successful Emergency Response Kits, they are the one point of contact for Rotary to interface with Government for NZ Aide funding. Your Club could be involved.
