Auckland Council has spent almost $150,000 on a statue at Pakuranga Rotary Walkway where it later removed a rubbish bin, sparking outrage from the chairman
The Pakuranga Rotary Club is noted for its contributions to community over the last 50 years.
The club celebrated a very proud history on Saturday night at the Howick Club.
Guests to the gala dinner entered to the stirring sound of the pipes, courtesy of past students of Saint Kentigern College, one of the three colleges closely associated with the club.
The banner of the evening, 50 Not Out, is not quite accurate: thanks to a Covid forced delay, the club is actually now in its 51st year. But that did nothing to dim the enthusiasm of the 180 attendees.
Rotarian and cricket commentary legend Bryan Waddle kept the evening flowing. Guests were welcomed with a stirring Maori Mihimihi by Terry Davis and Ani Black.
