Rotary meetings are fun
Rotary meetings are fun
Te Awamutu Rotarians meet at the TA Club on a Tuesday evening from 5:30pm for a 6:00pm start.  We have a broad range of speakers who are both informative and entertaining.  Sometimes we hear from our own members and on the 10th October we heard from member Tracy Hemingway.  Now Tracy loves pink and sparkles, so what better way to have some fun than ask our members to add some pink and /or bling to their outfit for the meeting. As you can see from the image, a lot of our members joined in the fun.
 
If you'd like to find out more about Te Awamutu Rotary and join us for some fun, you can contact us on teawamuturotary@gmail.com or use the contact us form under the 'About Us' tab

History of Women in Rotary
Women are active participants in Rotary, serving their communities in increasing numbers and serving in leadership positions in Rotary. The 1989 Council on Legislation vote to admit women into Rotary clubs worldwide remains a watershed moment in the history of Rotary.
 
 “My fellow delegates, I would like to remind you that the world of 1989 is very different to the world of 1905. I sincerely believe that Rotary has to adapt itself to a changing world,” said Frank J. Devlyn, who would go on to become RI president in 2000-01. 
 
The vote followed the decades-long efforts of men and women from all over the Rotary world to allow the admission of women into Rotary clubs, and several close votes at previous Council meetings.

Rotary at the Start of the United Nations

Rotary and the United Nations have a shared history of working toward peace and addressing humanitarian issues around the world.

During World War II, Rotary informed and educated members about the formation of the United Nations and the importance of planning for peace. Materials such as the booklet “From Here On!” and articles in The Rotarian helped members understand the UN before it was formally established and follow its work after its charter. 

Many countries were fighting the war when the term “United Nations” was first used officially in the 1942 “Declaration by United Nations.” The 26 nations that signed it pledged to uphold the ideals expressed by the United States and the United Kingdom the previous year of the common principles “on which they based their hopes for a better future for the world.”
