Otumoetai is a Maori word meaning, “the tide standing as if asleep”. Contrary to the meaning of its name, the Rotary Club of Otumoetai is definitely not standing-as-if-asleep as it meets each week on the shores of the Tauranga harbour.
Otumoetai Rotary welcomes men and women with the vision “to grow as a vibrant and professional group of diverse , supportive members who make a positive difference by supporting the community”. The club was chartered in 1968 and has contributed several past district governors.


The club has a strong bond of fellowship, usually starting each year with a BBQ, followed during the year with social occasions in members’ homes, with the added mystery of ‘guess who is coming to dinner’.
In 2014 the president laid down the challenge to bring home the cup in the Rotary Yachting Regatta. With a fast boat and a determined crew the challenge was achieved. We have also recently won a Tauranga inter club trophy.




If you want to join a club which making a difference for the local and International community, and having FUN and FELLOWSHIP doing it, give us a call.
