A Piece of Our History
Rotarians have extend their vocational service into the community in many ways.
Working for the New Zealand Community, who initiated the following?
Who started The Crippled Children’s Society in New Zealand?
Who built the first Karitane Hospital?
Who organised the first mobile TB clinic?
Who started Milk in Schools?
Who began the first Health Camps?
Who brought Defensive Driving Courses to New Zealand?
Who extended Heritage throughout New Zealand?
Who began the National Kidney Foundation
Who began the Riding for Disabled
Who began the Asthma Society
Who began the National Children’s Health Research Foundation?
If you answered Rotary to each of these questions, you would be right. Many of the early activities of Rotary are now lost in the mist of history.
