Eastern Hutt doesn't have to do any organising or coordination at all for this as they are now using a brilliant internet link: http://signup.com/go/qjDUWGb
If you would like to volunteer, all you have to do is click on buttons to book a location and time, not already taken, that suits you. It's that simple, and if you encounter any technical problem all you need to do is call WFA on 04 498 9604, and they'll get you booked in.
But please remember to wear your EHR Polio Shirt when you collect so that we are also visible to the public doing something that helps the community..
Many thanks, Des. |

The Lower Hutt Hearing Association
Sep 17, 2018
I have recently joined the Hutt Valley Hearing Association committee and it is my desire to help others who may be suffering hearing loss. I have a 50 year history of severe loss, but due to amazing hearing aids have led a very active life. I look forward to sharing my experience and helping others.

For many years we have joined with Lower Hutt's Rotary and Lions clubs to collect food donations for the Lower Hutt Food Bank. Please get along to Avalon Pavilion, starting at noon. Not all of us are strong enough to run around the streets to pick up the white bags from donors. If this is you, then come along to the Pavilion after 1 p.m. and assist, at your own pace, with sorting the donations and packing them in to storage cases. The Food Bank has been rejuvenated and is now in good shape, When they lost their facility at the Horticultural hall they also suffered management confusion. That is now resolved. The Food Bank is a Registered Charity and has a distribution base which they lease in Duffy Street. They have storage at St Marks Church in Woburn Rd. Last year they distributed about 2200 parcels for the benefit of over 900 families. There are over 30 volunteers involved and they are financially sound. Donations of food received have been assessed at a value of $330,000. This project involves the cooperation of many Clubs. It takes only a few hours, yet it has an important impact. Please support them this Sunday. |

Police Vetting
Sep 24, 2018
John is going to give an explanation about the vetting. It will be hands-on, as those who are going to be working with youth, need to be vetted and we will then fill in the forms. NOTE: You will need to bring your Drivers Licence, or your current Passport, as well as a photocopy of it. To be safe, also bring a copy of a document with your current residential address, e.g. an electricity or rates bill. |

Using martial arts to teach leadership skills
Oct 08, 2018
I will talk about how traditional martial arts is more than just learning to fight or defend yourself. It is also a pathway to continuous self-improvement in either aspects of one’s physical or one’s mental well-being. We have identified that today’s children and youth are under more pressure than previous generations and they will experience more change in their lives than any of us did. I will bring with me one or two of my students who will also speak briefly on their experiences. The website address for our Academy is www.hapkido.co.nz |

"The Long Walk Home" is a combined Lions and Rotarian event - details are HERE.
The walkers are expected to pass under the Kennedy Good bridge from around 1.00 pm to 2.00 pm, where there would be an opportunity for a drinks station, that could be a fundraiser for the club.
Ideally, 6 to 10 members from our Club are required as Marshalls, placed at strategic points along the Hutt River Trail from 11.00 through to 2.30 - for one hour stints.
Alternatively, if those times do not suit and you're keen, there are other times between 8.00 am and 3.30 pm, and you'll be posted at other points along the route from the Wellington Railway station to Silverstream.

Science in Primary Schools - made fun for adults!
Dec 03, 2018
Find out how our young students learn about the world around them by having a play with the Hutt Science kits they use.
Hold a Beebot in your hand and make it's eyes light up (and maybe even race it with the next table), learn a new party trick or two, make a noisy musical instrument and see how a child's bones really look. You might even learn something new while you play!

Friends of Baring Head
Jan 28, 2019
Friends of Baring Head are a group of volunteers who are passionate about the history and nature of this iconic landscape on the Pencarrow Coast. After persuading Greater Wellington Regional Council to buy the land surrounding the lighthouse in 2010 and add it to East Harbour Regional Park, the Friends have pursued an exciting plan to upgrade the lighthouse keeper buildings and old pumping station, and to turn the site into a drawcard for tourists, day-trippers, trampers and those riding the Remutaka Cycle Trail, with interpretation panels and overnight accommodation. Rotary can help them realise this vision.

This will be one of the best social occasions you could hope for. You will be having dinner with a mystery group of Rotary friends and their partners at the home of another Rotarian. All you need to bring is your preferred drink, a smile, and $30. We are keeping the price low to minimize the post-Christmas pain (!) Your hosts will provide dinner and everyone will just about guarantee a convivial occasion. Proceeds from the evening will go to International projects. If you have not already registered your interest please contact David Thompson:- DavRussThomp@gmail.com, 04 5673333, 027 2415092. This is not a commitment at this stage – we just need an indication of likely numbers please. |
