The Rotary Club of Howick Inc.
In July 2006, shortly after becoming President of Rotary International, Bill Boyd and his wife Lorna, from the neighbouring Rotary Club of Pakuranga, paid a “housecall” on one of Rotary’s longest serving and most ardent supporters, Past District Governor Brian Bradshaw of the Rotary Club of Howick. Brian gave almost 60 years of service to Rotary and maintained 100% attendance at a weekly meeting through all those years. Brian passed away in March 2007, aged 93
