Christchurch South Rotary Raised $5,403 to Support the Homeless by Participating in The Big Sleepout Organised by the Christchurch Methodist Mission
Club members and others (a total of six people ) spent an uncomfortable night sleeping on a piece of cardboard on the concrete at the Te Kaha stadium. It was a torrid night but we are so pleased we have been able to help in this way. You can still sponsor us by following this link.
Maintenance of John Taylor Walkway - Halswell Quarry Park
Saturday 3 May 2025
Thank you to the members of Christchurch South Rotary as well as a few extra helpers who turned out to carry out maintenance and plant trees on the John Taylor Walkway. The John Taylor Walkway at Halswell Quarry Park was created by The RotaryClub of Christchurch South created in 2005, as a Rotary Centennial Project and in memory of former member and President John Taylor, who was prominent in Christchurch gardening circles. Club members regularly carry out maintenance on this delightful walkway under the supervision of the Park Rangers.
