A fundraising gala party on February 22 celebrated the Rotary Club of Papeete Tahiti’s 55th anniversary. Raffle tickets during the stunning evening raised NZ$32,500 (AU$30,000) for the next Rotary year’s programme of actions. Dynamic club President Patrick Le Gall and the organising committee were over the moon!
It was a very prestigious gala party for 130 guests, including VIPs, business people, partners, sponsors, and many Rotarians from the other French Polynesian clubs.
Rotarians and guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening’s diverse programme which included: speeches from Assistant Governor Juliette Philippe and President Patrick; various shows (Indian dances, fashion parade, jewellery parade, photo exhibition and glass artwork presentation); the induction of two new members Marie Blanchard and Christophe Albano; and a great dinner dance to enhance networking, conviviality and friendship.
This gala party was a classy way of promoting the values and the actions of Rotary, promoting the projects of the Rotary Club of Papeete Tahiti, and attracting some new members by showing action, elegance, friendship and fun.
