Many days of work and we are ready for another Tauranga Rotary Annual Book Sale!
Our dates changed this year to 8th - 10 March 2019 and began about 3.30pm with a long line of eager buyers waiting in the pouring rain for the doors to open.
A great beginning and new this year, live entertainment and reading to young ones.
During the following two days the many books and other donated items were taken home to new homes by very happy bargain hunters.
A number of panel heaters were collected on behalf of Tauranga Hospital.
We wish to thank a great number of our community who assist us in our book sale, we think of as one of the biggest recycling events in Tauranga.

In mid February, I began leading Rotary members from all over the East Coast of the United States through Ghana. I’ve tried to give the team a warm Ghanaian welcome like I’ve received on my earlier trips. A large trip is a real blessing because each person sees Ghana and our work in a different way.

The last reported case was a two-year-old girl in West Bengal on 13 January 2011. To mark this historic triumph, Rotary clubs illuminated landmarks and iconic structures throughout the country with four simple but powerful words, "India is polio free."
