Rototuna Rotary donates to Rototuna High SchoolRototuna 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.
