Up and down the country Rotary supports the kids

Rotary clubs up and down the length of New Zealand supported the Cure Kids Red Nose Day in association with their local Paper Plus or Take Note store.  Rotary founded Cure Kids.

The Rotary Club of Botany East Tamaki in Auckland is one example.    Mobilising Rotarians, families and friends they were out in force on 15 July at the Botany Town Centre, dressed in a variety of wigs, to gether donations from passing shoppers.  As expected this was a big hit with familiers, especially thoise with small children who loved seeing grown-ups prepared to do some fun stuff.  And the public learned something about Rotary in their community as well!

Rotary supports Cure Kids in a number of ways from having Rotary "Members" of Cure Kids to Rotary teams in the Novotel $10 Queenstown Challenge.
