District 9920 and 9910 hosted Rotary International President Elect Gary Huang and Korinna out onto the Waitemata aboard the Pacific Mermaid on Wednesday 12 May to have a look at the Motutapu Pathway project.
Senior leadership from both districts were present along with leaders from the clubs very involved with this - the picture below shows Gary with St Johns Rotary President Mary Ann and President Elect Anil.
Gary and Corinna were so impressed with this significant and long-term environmental project they made a $1000 donation that was then matched by four other clubs from both districts towards the $10,000 needed for the next main development being a footbridge across a stream at Home Bay.
