Kiwanis Club of Taupō stalwarts Rex Crenfeldt, John Purdon and Neville Joll, will be celebrating 50 years of the club in Taupo on May 22.
Like many service clubs, the Kiwanis Club of Taupō could do with a boost in membership – of young people in particular. Longtime stalwarts John Purdon, who joined in 1973 just a couple of years after the club was formed, Rex Crenfeldt, a member since 1982 and Neville Joll, who joined in 1988, said, while service clubs were shrinking nationwide they still had a role to play in society. Joll: “You’ve only got to listen to the press – they’re trying to raise money for Starship, our number one children’s hospital… groups like us are the ones they look to.”
