🎉 Join Us for the Rotary Adelaide Changeover Lunch 🎉

It’s time to celebrate a year of impact, connection and service.

Over the past 12 months, members and friends of Rotary Adelaide have worked together to make a difference locally and globally, leading projects, supporting communities, building partnerships and creating opportunities, all while fostering friendship and having fun along the way.

At this special event, we’ll recognise the people whose commitment to Service Above Self has helped strengthen our community impact, develop ethical leaders, raise Rotary’s profile and grow a more diverse, inclusive and engaged membership.

We will also mark an important leadership milestone as President Gildi Carty officially hands over to Jo Fiedler, who will become the 104th President of Rotary Adelaide.

As people of action, we’re proud of what we’ve achieved together and excited about what lies ahead.

A Call to Every Rotary Club and person with a Peace Pole.

The countdown begins today.

In 100 days, the world will mark the International Day of Peace (21st September 2026).

This year, we’re inviting every Rotary Club in District 9510 with a Peace Pole to step forward as leaders of peace in action.

Your Peace Pole is more than a symbol.
It’s a gathering place.
A promise.
A beacon of hope in your community.

📣 The Call to Action

Between now and 21st September 2026, we’re asking every club to:

✨ Connect with the people, school, council or community group you donated a Peace Pole too
✨ Create an event, activity, or gathering at your Peace Pole
✨ Invite your community, schools, councils, and partners
✨ Stand together for peace, visibly, locally, powerfully.

It can be simple or bold:
• A sunrise gathering
• A peace walk; ending at your Peace Pole
• A children’s art activity
• A multicultural reading of May Peace Prevail on Earth
• A moment of silence
• A full community ceremony.

What matters is that we show up, united, hopeful, and committed to peacebuilding in our own neighbourhoods.

Rotary’s call is clear:
Create hope. Build peace. Serve humanity.

Let’s make 21 September a day where every Peace Pole in our District, and across Australia, becomes a living monument to that mission.

If your club is in, comment below or share your plans so we can celebrate and amplify your leadership.

🕊️ 100 days. One message. Many communities. May Peace Prevail on Earth.

A huge thank you to Rotary Adelaide Team 2 — Flavia, Jan, Simon, Jen, Stuart and John — who volunteered at Ronald McDonald House tonight, cooking up a storm for the Meals from the Heart program.

Your generosity, time and culinary talents were greatly appreciated by the families staying at the House.

Rotary Adelaide once again provided the funding for the groceries, making this wonderful community service possible.

Together, the team prepared 50 delicious main meals and desserts for families doing it tough while caring for loved ones.

And the verdict from the House? A well-deserved 10/10! 👏❤️

Author, storyteller and former Rotary Youth Exchange student, Hannah Kent, was our special guest at Rotary Adelaide today at Adelaide Oval.

Hannah captivated members and guests with reflections on her remarkable journey from a teenage Rotary Youth Exchange student in Iceland to becoming an internationally acclaimed author.

Drawing on experiences that inspired her bestselling novel Burial Rites, Hannah spoke about the profound impact of cultural immersion, belonging, identity and the idea of “home” — themes explored in her latest memoir, Always Home, Always Homesick.

Her story is a powerful reminder of how Rotary Youth Exchange changes lives, broadens horizons and builds lasting connections across cultures and continents.

Thank you, Hannah, for sharing your insights, your experiences and the extraordinary journey that Rotary helped set in motion. Your words inspired us all to reflect on the opportunities Rotary creates for young people to discover the world, and themselves.
