SOUS LE SIGNE DES ARTS

Where arts meets  Rotary Humanity in Action in Papeete



Club members
 
The Rotary Club of Papeete-Tahiti celebrated its 53rd anniversary on February 18th, by organizing a  very classy charity gala party at the Intercontinental Hotel in Tahiti attended by 120 guests. The goals included the promotion of  the actions of  the Rotary Club of Papeete-Tahiti  and the enhance of the image of Rotary … goals well achieved.

The highlights of this stunning evening included an art exhibition where artists showed off their talents and skills while presenting their masterpieces plus a Polynesian jewelry fashion parade.  This was followed by a Hawaiian dance show and a great singer who kept the dance floor was very busy all night. The generosity of the guests enabled the Rotary Club of Papeete-Tahiti to fundraise more than   NZ$30,000. 

The induction  of a new  young Rotarian showed the club is getting younger and younger and more dynamic than ever under the presidency of Max Remblin.  The media covered this event resulting in a impressive full page feature in the two local newpapers. This PR  was a great way of  showing the projects run by the club, reinforcing the social network of solidarity and generosity, and encouraging people to join the Rotary family.   Hopefully some guests should join the club in the near future.
