Rotary Stories From Abroad

Ed Schultz returns from New Zealand
While resident in New Zealand, Ed Schultz sometimes attends the dinner meetings of the local Rotary club - Rotary Club of Waiuku Inc. Pictured above is a March 5, 2014 photo of Rotary Club president Don Wills and Ed (Ed is the one with the most hair).
On this occasion, the fine-master (Peter - who had just returned from a British Columbia ski trip) fined Ed $2 for Canadian petrol prices being about one-half of New Zealand's. On paying, Ed accepted the fine as 'happy bucks' situation.
Two years ago, Ed exchanged the Edmonton West banner for a Waiuku banner.
This was an awareness sign at the start of the Waiuku Rotary Club annual fundraiser "Sunshine Coast Walk" at Waiuku, New Zealand. It cost participants $20 to enter and enjoy a walk on the high sand dunes along the Tasman Sea (west coast north Island New Zealand).
Judy Schultz walked 8.3 k of this trail on February 23, 2014. Several hundred people came out to support Rotary. Note the farm villa in the background (part of a dairy farm).
