In 1935 Paul and wife Jean Harris toured Australia and New Zealand. Paul recalled, “With the cooperation of Rotarians and local governments, I have planted friendship trees in the parks and playgrounds on five continents of the world and even on some of the major islands of the seas. Our trees stood as symbols of international understanding and good-will.”
On 16th April 1935 Paul was in Christchurch. In a busy day having a welcome at Lyttelton wharf, had a civic reception with the mayor at 11am, a meeting with Rotary Club of Christchurch at 12:30pm and managed to plant a friendship tree in the Botanic Gardens. On the 17th he took the train to Dunedin stopping in Timaru and Oamaru on the way.

Gray Crawford has led the charge on our Club getting involved with YES, the Young Enterprise Scheme. And a very worthwhile scheme it is.
For those of you that haven’t heard of YES before, or can’t recall it from previous years, it has been running now for 40 years and is all about inspiring young people discover their entrepreneurial potential in both business and life.
There are three ways that our Club can continue to be involved with YES
- Our members personally supporting and mentoring the teams
- Our Club being an ongoing financial sponsor for an annual award for excellence – as our Club has done this year
- Simply make a donation
Having fun serving our community
