Rotary Club of Christchurch were at their lunchtime meeting when the Christchurch Earthquake disaster struck on Tuesday 22 February at 12.51pm. They said "it was a meeting they won't forget!"

Rotary District 9970 on behalf of all Rotary clubs in Christchurch is combining all fundraising through a committee set up by District Governor Margaret Reeve for the distribution of funds to various projects that will be commenced once needs can be established that are not able to be supported by Government and other agencies.

All donations received by RNZWCS Limited will go into that fund. This strategy will allow Rotarians to do something significant and allow other agencies to concentrate on welfare. Your funding to support the combined clubs will be used in conjunction with the projects established by the DG's committee.
