AIM participant Logan takes the helm with skipper Martin Howson.
The young adults of AIM (Adults in Motion), along with their carers and the staff, were recently treated to a trip down the Mahurangi River on the Jane Gifford organised by the new Provisional Rotary Club of Mahurangi Sunrise.The beautiful weather showed off the river environs at their best for the passengers, many of whom had never previously enjoyed a trip on the Jane.
A barbecue was held on board before disembarking at the wharf.
The trip was the first community project undertaken by Mahurangi Sunrise and brought together three local groups – Rotary, AIM and The Jane Gifford Trust, which donated the trip.
Mahurangi Sunrise is organised by a group of Rotarians and former Rotarians. Glenna Tuck was recently elected the inaugural president.
She says the new club offers an alternative style of Rotary with the intention of attracting people who, for one reason or another, are unable to join the existing club, but who want be part of a friendship group working in the community.
The club meets weekly for breakfast at Mitre 10 Café. Twice a month a speaker is invited to talk about some aspect of the local or international community.
The club is actively looking for new members to join them in their activities and enjoy the benefits of Rotary.
