Our District 9999 Foundation team cordially invites all Rotarians, partners and friends to this year’s Rotary Foundation Charity Dinner, which will be held at the Transport World Museum in Invercargill on Wednesday 4 November 2026.

As you would have read in the District's 9999 Friday Administration Newsletter, we have the Rotary Foundation Trustee and Rotary International Past President Gordon and Heather McInally from Scotland coming to this year's Rotary Foundation Charity Dinner.

As our keynote speaker, Gordon will be telling us about the work the Foundation does in New Zealand, in our Region and beyond, and how our contributions create lasting impact.
We will also hear another story which will touch your hearts from a survivor of domestic and family violence.

We will be holding an auction at the event to raise funds for the Foundation; therefore, we are asking all Rotarians to help source items for the auction. If you can help, please email Dave McKissock [email protected]

We are also looking for sponsorship, so if your company can help, we can offer branding options, table naming options and table drinks etc.

The whole evening will be led by John Prendergast as Master of Ceremonies, and we will have a local distinguished Rotarian leading our auction.

To make this Rotary event successful, we need to have at least 100 people in attendance, so please consider coming to this exciting event.

Should you require assistance with accommodation, please contact Dave McKissock
(021 670 121).

Prices are $85.00 per person for Rotarians and our families, $100.00 per person for others.

💜 TODAY WE LAUNCH A MOVEMENT.

SAY NO TO DOMESTIC & FAMILY VIOLENCE

This October, Rotary clubs across New Zealand and Pacific Islands are coming together to help prevent domestic and family violence — and we’re asking YOU to stand with us.

Your family. Your friends. Your workplace. Your school. Your organisation. Your community.

Why?

Because violence doesn’t start with violence.

It starts with attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that can normalise control, disrespect, jealousy, intimidation and inequality.

And that means prevention can start before violence occurs.
that means prevention can start before violence occurs.

💜 Prevention starts with all of us.

Together, we can be a powerful community voice for change — challenging behaviours that are not okay and promoting relationships built on respect, equality, safety and kindness.

💜 JOIN THE MOVEMENT

👕 Wear purple on Fridays starting 23 October and then every third Friday of the month. Help make our message visible
💜 Purchase and wear our campaign T-shirt
🚶 Join our community walk on 5 December 2026
🗣️ Start conversations about respect, equality and healthy relationships
🤝 Get your workplace, school, club or organisation involved
📣 Share the campaign and help us reach more people

Every conversation matters.
Every voice matters.
Every person who stands with us makes the message stronger.

Let’s start the conversation.
Let’s challenge what isn’t okay.
Let’s create communities where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.

💜 JOIN THE MOVEMENT. BE THE VOICE. HELP PREVENT VIOLENCE BEFORE IT STARTS.
