Our club had a great visit last week from the young woman sponsored by Petone Rotary to attend this year's IYM (Innovative Young Minds) programme. This programme is a week-long mind-expanding experience of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) opportunuties. The Hutt Valley is the perfect place to experience this, and our speaker was one of 39 who attended this year. She spoke of the speakers who addressed the group, and then described the ten different places the group visited where STEM was contributing to the organisation's work and potential future career opportunities - NZ Police, Open Star, Eight 360, WEL, NZDF, Ferrier Institute (VUW), Outfox, Robinson Research, Otago Medical School, and Tiaki Wai. All are in the Hutt Valley or nearby. The group also visited Parliament and took part in an innovation challenge where they solved problems and built something.
Petone Rotary has sponsored a young woman to experience this opportunity for the last 10 years. It's a great scheme!

Petone Rotary celebrated its 75th Anniversary on 28th April 2026. A great celebration was held at Petone Club, with over 75 members, friends and supporters attending. With proceedings on the night ably managed by former President John Prendergast, and behind-the-scenes organisation by a bunch of people, led by Gerry Pallo, we reminisced, dined and looked forward to another 75 years of serving the people of Petone and beyond :-)

Kaibosh is NZ Aotearoa New Zealand’s first dedicated food rescue charity. Their Mahi reduces food poverty, cuts food waste and protects our environment all guided by a strong commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Petone Rotary is very excited to help Kaibosh with the grant toward their new EV van. She looks amazing.

You might think we have all gone to Cambodia, but here we are having a festive dinner together at Sabaidee in Jackson Street. Pesident Kevin reminded us that although we are a small group, we do a great deal - from annually running the biggest community event in the Hutt Valley (Petone Rotary Fair), to supporting numerous community initiatives. This year we've worked with the other Hutt Valley Rotary Clubs on Lifting the Lid - a youth mental health initiative - and supported environmental causes ranging from local trapping initiatives, to Kaibosh, to Wainuiomata Marae's Tiny Forest Project. We've raised funds for Rotary Intenational's Polio Eradication Project. We've supported youth ventures, including helping fund a young person chosen to attend a Rotary event in London. We've also had great speakers and events all year, and quite a lot of fun!

Our speakers last week were Jenny Williams and Liz O'Hare from Pito-One Harmony Singers, a group established by Jenny to bring the positive effects of music therapy to people in our community (the lower part of Hutt Valley) with dementia. Music therapy helps people who are losing the ability to talk. The group started small, with the aims of making music, movement and social interaction available in a safe and accessible environment to people who otherwise might feel unable to participate in traditional choirs, and has continued to grow over its four years of existence. The work of this entirely voluntary group is amazing!
