And, some people say Rotary might be past its use-by date? Our Waimate team – and others, I know – show just what can be achieved. Look at that list again, and just imagine the number of lives positively touched and changed by these passionate Rotarians. As well as a phenomenal list of undertakings, the club is going great guns on recruiting new members. And, just to top it off, all the folk at the Rotary Club of Waimate are particularly generous with their knowledge. If you’re looking at new ideas to boost your club and want to hear more about Waimate’s journey, call any of the leadership team. Congratulations, Waimate; you do Rotary incredibly proud – you’ll continue to be “one to watch”.
