Rotary Club of Bishopdale Burnside
A fantastic evening of Rotary fellowship and inspiration on Monday night!The Rotary Clubs of Bishopdale Burnside and Rangiora came together for a joint meeting, enjoying great company and an outstanding guest speaker.We were privileged to hear from Louisa Stewart, co-founder of Clothed in Love. Louise shared the story behind this remarkable organisation—how it began in 2020 and the meaningful difference it is making in our community. As a teacher and a mum of three, her passion and commitment to supporting families in need truly shone through.It was also special to learn that both Louisa and co-founder Kim Steetskamp are past participants in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), highlighting the lasting impact of Rotary’s investment in future leaders.We were especially pleased to note that Clothed in Love was one of the community groups invited to receive books at the conclusion of our recent BOOKarama. These books are now included in the clothing packs delivered to children—adding the gift of reading to an already invaluable act of care and support.Thank you, Louisa, for an inspiring presentation and for the incredible work you and your team are doing.#Rotary #ServiceAboveSelf #ClothedInLove #RYLA #CommunityImpact #BOOKarama ...
