E-Hiku Satellite of the Rotary Club of North Harbour was launched on Saturday 26 May in Kaitaia at Birdies Café. It was a special occasion to create a little piece of Rotary history under Rotary North Harbour’s umbrella.
First e-based satellite,
first satellite in Northland,
first satellite located geographically distant from its sponsor club,
first with an overseas member and great to see the membership culture reflecting the community.
