This might test the memories of our older members, and intrigue newer Rotarians:
 
* The club visited Malaysia in 1992 - ask Howard about this goodwill visit and see more here
* The Club commenced a Peer Support Program in 1980 at North Sydney Girls High - it went on to grow within our District and externally as the Peer Support Foundation - see peersupport.edu.au and our club's involvement here
* An Australia - New Zealand Speech contest was commenced around 1970 in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Whangarei; see more here
Today, there are four clubs in Whangarei: Whangarei, Whangarei City, Whangarei South, Whangarei Sunrise
The Wharangerei website notes that a Speech Contest for Secondary School Students was started in 1961 and held every year since.
                                  Aim of the Contest is to promote the art of public speaking amongst young people.
                                  The winner each year wins a all expense paid holiday to Australia hosted by the Rotary Club of Tweed Heads.
