Are you aware our club "Rotary Club of Naenae" held its first meeting February 6, 1962. 64 years ago. When Keith Watts, President of the Rotary Club of Hutt, sponsored a new club in the NaeNae area, 22 foundation members attended a special meeting in the local Community Centre on 12 December 1961. They agreed to form a new “Rotary Club of NaeNae” with Max Green as president. The first meeting of the new club was held on February 6, 1962. In 1965 the club changed its name to the “Rotary Club of Eastern Hutt”. One of its first actions was to present a defibrillator to the Hutt Hospital."
