Circus Quirkus 2022

CIRCUS QUIRKUS 2022

Another year, another fantastic Circus Quirkus event!

This was our first year at the Vodafone Event Centre and what a fantastic place to hold our annual event. A huge thank you to our sponsors for supporting the event and enabling us to host thousands of deserving kids and their families. We raised over $100k for our chosen charities while, at the same time, giving kids who otherwise may never get to see a circus the chance to see a professional event live!

.. and all the while the Rotary volunteers had a great time hosting such amazing people!

Packing Emergency Response Kits

Posted by Scott Burridge

A team from the Club packed over 120 ERKs yesterday. This was the first batch of ERKs to be packed in the latest round, which will eventually total 1000. Many will be sent to Fiji to replenish their store of ERKs, which was depleted after Cyclone Harold hit the islands earlier this year. Some will be held in Auckland ready for shipment to other Pacific nations when the need arises.

ERKs include items that will help provide temporary shelter for families whose homes have been destroyed by cylones and other natural disasters. Also included are clothing and cooking utensils.

ERKs are often the first help to reach devastated communities.

Packing the ERKs is a fun 3 hours and you really feel as though you are helping Pacific Island families at time they will most need it.

Food parcel packing at Salvation Army continues

Newmarket Rotary continues to regularly pack food parcels for the Salvation Army Manukau Distribution Centre. We are getting faster, today packing 175 boxes in less than 2 1/2

hours. These will help local families get through difficult times. Our team is lead by Peter Ross (at the left hand end).

If you are interested in helping please contact Peter Ross or Alan Hayward. We are also joining with other Rotary Clubs twice a month to pack food parcels. Thank you everyone.
