Petone Fair ... a success again

The Petone Fair has now been organised & run by the Rotary Club of Petone for 23 years.

A very successful & busy day was experienced at the latest Fair on Saturday February 15, 2014 with approx 33,000 visitors in brilliant Wellington sunshine!!  A feature display showcasing the Rotary Emergency Response Kits was incredibly popular.

 

The stand and Rotarians could not be missed!

 

Club members all stood out so well in our highly visible RC of Eastern Hutt vests & wonderful Emergency Response Kit sun hat's sponsored by Errol Tong. This all helped raise the Public profile of Rotary International & RNZWCS in general, as well as the very successful ERK Project our RC of Eastern Hutt introduced to Rotary NZ way back in 1983.

The public appreciated the insight into how Rotary supports those in need in the Pacific in times of disaster

The RC of Eastern Hutt now look forward to setting up & manning our ERK Display again at the next Martinborough Fair March 1, 2014 which is being organised & run by the RC of South Wairarapa.
