Warkworth Rotary has a new president, as the club celebrates giving $35,000 to help local groups over the past year.
Les Miller has been president for the past year and Mick Fay was announced as the new president at the end of last month.
Mick has lived in Snells Beach for the past 20 years and has been a volunteer fire fighter at the Mahurangi East station for 12 years. He joined Rotary four years ago to give back to the community.
“It is something I enjoy, helping youth and people in need,” Mick says. “I just want to continue assisting all the local charities and community groups.”
Over the past year, Warkworth Rotary has given grants to Warkworth Wellsford Hospice, Springboard, North Rodney Blue Light, Warkworth Scouts, St John Ambulance, Tomarata School, Food Bank, Te Taonga Girl Guides, Adults in Motion and Matakana Community Garden.
The group has also sponsored young people to attend the Rotary Challenge Camp, Rotary Summer Science School, Rotary Youth Leadership Award and Outward Bound. It supported Crystal Cook to attend the kickboxing world championships and has funded the David Sheat Memorial Rotary Award for Mahurangi and Rodney colleges. It also gave $16,000 to support Vanuatu.
The group meets at The Bridgehouse every Thursday for a meal and guest speaker.
