A productive morning for Rotary Putaruru! 🌱♻️

Today we refreshed and refertilised our planter boxes around Putāruru, adding some new plants and fresh soil to keep them looking bright and welcoming for everyone.

We also spent time cleaning up our signs along the walkways and did a rubbish collection at the Arapuni entrance, helping keep our town looking its best.

A big thank you to everyone who gave up their morning to lend a hand — many hands make light work! 💛💙

Happy April Fool’s Day from Rotary Putaruru ! 🎉

We hope not too many of you got caught out today… but if you did, we hope it brought a few laughs along the way! 😄

A little bit of fun never hurts—after all, it’s what keeps the community spirit alive.

Feel free to share your best (or worst!) April Fool’s moments in the comments—we’d love to hear them!
