Papakura Rotary Club

Very sad. Our sympathy and thoughts are with his family.

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Past District Governor Stuart Searle (Aged 82) passed away yesterday, surrounded by his family.

Stuart’s contribution to Rotary and to our wider community will be remembered with gratitude and respect. His commitment to Service Above Self and the friendships he built across the years have left a lasting legacy.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family at this time.

What a fantastic day out at the beautiful Pukekohe Golf Club!
Members of Rotary Papakura were out in full force (and full aprons!) recently, supporting the MITEY Charitable Golf Day.

George and Warren spent the day at the grill, serving up steak, sausages, and onions to some very hungry golfers.

While the players were working on their handicaps, we were working on fueling a movement. MITEY (The Sir John Kirwan Foundation) is doing incredible work in our schools, giving our tamariki the tools and knowledge to manage their mental health and support their mates.
Why we do it:
• ✅ Supporting "Healthy Minds, Mighty Kids"
• ✅ Building a stronger, more resilient community
• ✅ Having a laugh and a bit of "Rotary fun" along the way!

We walked away a bit tired, but with huge smiles and a real sense of accomplishment. It makes us incredibly proud to be Rotarians when we see the community come together like this.

A huge thanks to everyone who swung a club or grabbed a snag for such a vital cause!

Thanks to all the Rotary Clubs and Rotary Trusts that donated

A hot afternoon marching around the park. It was great to see the community out to enjoy the festivities. Thank you to Papakura Rotary Club for a great day.

Well done to Amy on your first Christmas Parade, also well done to Katy who had a drone going first time on a parade. They are huge achievements. Keep up with working towards your piping goals.
