On May 30th, the Rotary Cambridge's Urban Miners took another big step forward with their first collection in Te Awamutu. This was also the first joint collection with the Te Awamutu Rotary Club, who have expressed interest in ongoing E-Waste collections and collaborating with the Cambridge Rotary Club.
The Te Awamutu collection was a complete success from every aspect. Nearly 70 cars turned-up in a steady procession from 9am to 11am. E-Waste Tonnage and Process Fees collected were amongst the highest to date. There was excellent member attendance from both Rotary Clubs.
"Monthly collections have now been established in Cambridge, and we are in discussions with the Te Awamutu Rotary Club about setting up a similar ongoing schedule in Te Awamutu" says spokesperson, Kim Prichard.
Cambridge collections are held every 3rd Sunday- 9- 11am out the front of Cambridge High School in Swayne Rd
In early June, the daytime group of sewers completed their 5000th shield ! A big milestone! We have now contributed 2500 Days for Girls kits that have gone all around the world and also to New Zealand girls and women in need. Each kit that goes out gets two of our shields in it. We have also sewn 1426 liners that go with the shields. So far this year1000 kits have gone to Fiji.
Cambridge Rotary members were in high spirits at the District Conference held in Hastings recently and were delighted to have won the Best Club Fancy Dress award with the theme “Mid Life Crisis – Call the Midwife”. This certainly was rewarding as a busy year of fundraising, service and fellowship draws to a close.
