The Rotary Club of Timaru has within it a group called NRG - Next Rotary Generation. These younger members are full members of the Club but arrange meetings and activities that fit in with their busy life styles. Recently NRG members Lisa Moloney and Trish Johnston (and Trish's daughter Niamh) delivered 12 netballs for the students of the Arowheuna Maori School on Wednesday 2nd May.
 
One of the teachers approached NRG to ask if there was any way we could help as last year the netball team was using an old very worn out basketball to play with.
 
Through our contacts at Netball South Canterbury we were able to acquire balls and a ball bag to give to the school.
 
Lisa, Trish and Niamh were greeted with a lovely Waiata from the school before the presentation.  
 
This year the school has 2 netball teams so the extra balls with be very beneficial as they will be able to have enough balls for each team and be able to complete warm up drills that they were unable to do last year.
