💙💛 WHY I LOVE ROTARY | MEET JULIE SHACKLADY

For Julie Shacklady from the Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay, Rotary is about something increasingly important in today’s world — human connection.

As technology and AI continue to shape how we live and communicate, Julie values being part of a diverse group of people who come together face-to-face, build friendships and share a desire to make a difference.

💙 Connection – staying connected with people from different backgrounds and experiences.
💛 Community – giving back to the community she grew up in and which has given her so many opportunities.
💜 Leading by example – as a mum of two young girls, Julie wants her daughters to see her actively contributing to her community and, one day, be inspired to do the same.

That’s the power of Rotary. Different people. Different reasons. One shared purpose — creating stronger communities.

What would your reason be for joining Rotary?

👉 Join Rotary. Make connections. Make a difference.

💜 I HAVE MY PURPLE T-SHIRT — DO YOU HAVE YOURS?

From October, we’re asking our communities to wear purple and be a visible voice for change.

Because violence doesn’t start with violence.
It starts with attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that normalise control, disrespect, jealousy, intimidation and inequality.

That’s why Purple Fridays matter. 💜

Starting Friday 9 October, wear purple and help start conversations about respect, equality, safety and healthy relationships.

👕 Purple T-shirt – $27
👚 Purple Polo – $45
💜 Wear it every Friday
📣 Start the conversation
🚶 Join our Community Walk – 28 November 2026

Whether you’re an individual, family, workplace, school, club or community organisation — you can be part of this movement.

💚 DIGNITY, CARE & COMPASSION IN ACTION 💙

A beautiful initiative from the Rotary Club of Papatoetoe Central, supporting residents at Kolmar Lodge Rest Home with essential personal care and wellbeing products.

Sometimes it’s the simplest acts of service that make a meaningful difference — bringing comfort, dignity and care to those in our communities. 🌿

👏 Well done to the members and supporters who made this project possible.

Small contributions. Meaningful impact. Creating lasting impact.

💜 I HAVE MY PURPLE T-SHIRT. DO YOU HAVE YOURS?

JOIN THE MOVEMENT | SAY NO TO DOMESTIC & FAMILY VIOLENCE

Violence doesn’t start with violence.

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

If we want to prevent violence, we need to challenge the attitudes and behaviours that allow it to occur.

That’s why Rotary is bringing the successful Australian initiative to New Zealand — a community movement focused on prevention, respect and creating safer homes and communities.

💜 PURPLE FRIDAYS – STARTING 9 OCTOBER

👕 Get your purple T-shirt for just $27 polo $45 and wear it every Friday.
Message us to buy yours

Every purple T-shirt is a visible statement that domestic and family violence is not acceptable. It’s a conversation starter and a show of solidarity with those affected by violence.

🚶 COMMUNITY WALK – 28 NOVEMBER 2026

Join us as we walk together, raise awareness and show that our communities stand united against domestic and family violence.

💜 WE NEED YOU!

Whether you're an individual, business, school or community organisation — get involved, wear purple, start conversations and help spread the message.

Let’s be a community voice for change. Together, we can challenge the attitudes and behaviours that allow violence to occur.

👕 Order your T-shirt today!

💜 Change begins when a community stands together.

A huge thank you to the Papatoetoe community for supporting our Say No to Domestic & Family Violence campaign and helping share this vital prevention message.

It was wonderful to see Rotary Botany connecting with people across the community and standing united for change. We were also pleased to have District Governor Jyoti join our members and community in support of this important movement.

Violence doesn’t start with violence — it starts with attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that can normalise control, disrespect, jealousy, intimidation and inequality.
