Rotaract Chartered

The newly formed Rotaract Club was chartered at a special function held in the Boys' High School assembly hall on Saturday, June 17. The club, an extension of Rotary for those between the ages of 18 and 28, has been formed for about four months. After the charter dinner and presentation ceremony, an evening of dancing and music was held.

Rotary District 293 Governor Ian Drabble, of Hamilton, presents the charter (from Rotary International, U.S.A.) to Gisborne club president Graeme Willis.
