Trust Power Community Awards 2011
The Rotary Club of Kerikeri won the Far North 2011 Trustpower Community award for it's Top Energy Northern Crossing multisport event.
The Top Energy Northern Crossing is a sporting endeavour that raises funds for youth charities across the Far North and the Northland Electricity Rescue Helicopter. It is also building a network of collaboration and friendship between numerous service and other groups across the region. This community building aspect of the event, which is such a vital part of what Rotary is all about, contributed to the winning of the award this year.
Next year's 2012 Top Energy Northern Crossing task-force leader PP Owen Smith represented the Kerikeri club at the awards evening in Kawakawa on 1st August and was delighted to collect the Sports & Leisure category 1st place award from Mayor Wayne Browne.
One of the organisations that helps us and benefits from the NC event also received an award on the night: Rawene youth leader, Rob Pink and his young polo-cross players became involved this year. Rob willingly offered his facility at the Rawene Domain as the kayak/cycle transition. He made improvements to the area to ensure it met the event needs. He was present with young club members on the day to assist at the transition. Nothing was too much trouble and we were pleased to involve his young group members. On 22nd August 2011, the Kerikeri Rotary Club will be presenting Rob with a cheque for $2000 towards his ongoing work with youth. These funds are a portion of the youth proceeds from this year's Northern Crossing event.
