Welcome to South Kaipara Rotary Satellite Club
Harnessing the spirit of community service, the South Kaipara Rotary Satellite Club stands as a beacon of hope and support in the Auckland region. As a satellite of the Rotary Club of Henderson, we are part of an international network of Rotary clubs dedicated to improving lives. Our club welcomes men and women from all walks of life, representing a cross-section of the local business community. Together, we work on meaningful initiatives to assist those less fortunate, while also building strong bonds of friendship and fellowship among members.
Our Location and Community Focus
Anchored in Parakai, Auckland, the South Kaipara Rotary Satellite Club serves a growing and dynamic region. We identified a geographical gap between Kumeu and Silverdale where no Rotary presence existed, and our club was established to fill this void. Our members hail from surrounding areas such as Woodhill, South Head, Helensville, Kaukapakapa, Waitoki, and Wanui. This unique positioning allows us to address the specific needs of these communities through targeted projects and fundraisers, ensuring we make a tangible impact where it’s needed most.
Our Structure and Meetings
As a satellite club, South Kaipara Rotary operates as a club within a club under the umbrella of the Rotary Club of Henderson. While our members are part of the main Henderson Rotary, we enjoy a distinct identity with meetings held at different times, frequencies, and venues. Our gatherings are less formal and faster-paced, creating a relaxed yet productive environment for collaboration and planning. This structure enables us to be agile and responsive to the needs of our Auckland-based community.
Projects and Fundraisers
Since our inception in 2016, the South Kaipara Rotary Satellite Club has been actively involved in a range of fundraisers to support charitable projects in the region. Our efforts have included innovative activities like picking and selling organic Nashi Pears, conducting a stocktake at the Parakai 4 Square, and bagging Kanukas for sale. A standout initiative was our 2018 project at Parakai School, where we replanted the school orchard. This involved sourcing and trucking in soil to raise the ground level, constructing wooden planter boxes, and supplying numerous fruit trees, creating a lasting resource for the school community.
