Live more – join South Wairarapa Rotary

Do you live in South Wairarapa, are retired and have discovered that those rounds of golf and keeping the garden tidy are not fulfilling enough?

South Wairarapa Rotary is currently seeking new members. As a Rotarian you get to socialise with a diverse group of other members; be inspired and widen your knowledge with our meetings’ guest speakers; help us run our primary fundraiser, the Martinborough Fair, and identify those in our community who will benefit the most from our financial support.

Our Rotary club is incredibly lucky to have over 50 active members – but we know we need to continue to recruit new members to replace those leaving the area and/or actually “retiring.”

Being a member means that you are entitled to join us once a week at a local café to socialise and enjoy a meal; participate in club activities and business before hearing from one of our organised speakers. Each meeting is around two hours from 6.00pm to 8.00pm.

There is no obligation to attend each week. Some of our members are still working so may attend on an ad hoc basis or just once a month.

When you become a member you get to choose which Committee you feel will best employ your talents. Committees are where discussions and decisions are made about the most appropriate way to assist the community with the money that is earned from running the two annual Martinborough Fairs.

Being a Rotary member doesn’t mean you can’t go on trips or holidays or miss out on family time. The club is flexible and will fit in with your lifestyle and commitments. Many find that they make new friends in conjunction with the satisfaction of doing some good for the community and its local organisations.
