The annual Rotary charity book fair at the Te Rapa Racecourse, originally scheduled for 7-9 May 2020, has been tentatively rescheduled - subject to COVID-19 alert levels - to 25-27 September. In addition a series of smaller "pop-up" sales is being organized, with the first one planned for Sunday 6 September and featuring jigsaw puzzles. Later in the year, we will also run pop-up book sales at Raglan Roast (Brown Bros) in Te Rapa.
Rototuna Rotary supports the Crafts and Creations Market held annually at the Rototuna High School.
Craft & Creations Market 2019 was held on the 23 November with well over 140+ stalls of craft, arts, sweet treats, health and beauty products and more.
Rototuna Rotary made available a selection of books, DVDs and jigsaws for sale, raising several hundred dollars for the school. It was a great day, with families enjoying the wide range of stalls with everything from cutting boards to candy floss. The school is very much a central pivot of the Rototuna community, and the Rotary club has become a regular supporter.

A combined effort between Rotary Rototuna & Totem Bags saw a large donation of brand new high quality back packs and school bags donated to Waikato Women’s Refuge.
The team at Waikato Woman’s Refuge do a fantastic job supporting our community when they need it the most.
Rototuna Rotary looks forward working closely with this fantastic organisation in the future.
