The Rotary Club of Rotorua Sunrise held its annual Christmas breakfast on December 17, 2013 at the Novotel Lakeside Rotorua. All members and guests were asked to bring along money notes to peg onto the Christmas money tree, with proceeds to the Salvation Army.
After breakfast the money was removed from the tree and counted. It totalled $345 plus a cheque for $500 was also on the tree which was proceeds from the Charity’s Shop Christmas Gingerbread House Raffle.
During the breakfast meeting Mayor Steve Chadwick was formally welcomed as a new honorary member of Rotary Rotorua Sunrise. She plans to be an active and engaging honorary member of the club, sharing in fellowship, providing leadership, inspiration and assistance to club projects for the purpose of making our community, our country and the world a better place to live in.
Mayor Steve replied “I am a morning person and would like to be involved in Rotary projects that are good for our community.” She was very impressed with the positive energy of the club and the contribution members make to the community.
