🌟 Boy, are we going to be busy!
Over the next few weeks, Bendigo Sandhurst Rotary members will be out and about across our community — and there’s a lot more happening than BBQs.
From supporting local events to encouraging young people, helping community organisations and contributing to projects overseas, our members get involved in all sorts of ways.
Here’s just a taste of what’s coming up:
🌭 Breakfast BBQ for Ride2Work and a BBQ at the Bendigo Swap Meet.
⛳ Fielding a team for the annual Bendigo Toyota Fundraiser Golf Day.
🌱 Mentoring participants in the revamped Lightning Reef gardening project.
🍲 Helping facilitate meals for Street Peace.
🧶 A baling day to prepare knitted goods for Timor-Leste.
🛏️ Collecting towels and sheets for an orphanage in Timor-Leste.
🔬 Preparing participants for the National Youth Science Forum.
🏆 Celebrating local young people by presenting the Bendigo Youth Awards.
Every activity is different, but they all have something in common: people coming together to do something positive for others.
And that’s one of the great things about Rotary. You don’t have to be a BBQ expert. You might enjoy mentoring, supporting young people, organising projects, helping with community events, sharing professional skills or simply being part of a group that wants to make a difference.
There are so many ways to contribute, and you can bring your own interests, experience and ideas to the table.
Looking for a way to connect with your community, meet good people and do something worthwhile? Perhaps Rotary could be for you.
Come and meet us, see what we do and discover where you might fit in.

Could your linen cupboard help children in Timor Leste?

Several Rotary clubs in Bendigo support projects in Timor-Leste, including work connected with the Alola Foundation. We have recently received a request for help from the Manufahi Orphanage, caring for 20 children — 5 boys and 15 girls, aged 7 to 18 years.

This time, the request is simple. They need:
🛏️ Single bed sheets & bed covers
🛏️ Pillows & pillowcases
🛁 Towels
🍽️ Tablecloths
🪟 Curtains

Are you having a clean-out, downsizing, or have children who have grown up and left you with surplus linen? Before you put those items away, donate them to children who can really use them.

We have a tight deadline. A Rotary donation container is leaving Melbourne at the end of October, so we need to collect the linen in Bendigo by: WEDNESDAY 14 OCTOBER

If you can help, we would be incredibly grateful if the linen could be freshly laundered, folded and ready to go — just as you would put it away in your own linen cupboard. Simply place your clean items in a garbage bag or box and we will take care of the rest.

If you can help, please send us a message to arrange collection or drop-off.

A Wednesday morning well spent.
This week we had a full house for our breakfast meeting at PepperGreen Farm — spring sunshine streaming in, plenty of conversation, laughter and the simple pleasure of catching up with friends.

Our guest speaker, Brad Hodge, got us thinking about what life can look like after retirement — not just what we do, but how we continue to find purpose, connection and a sense of belonging.

His message about using the skills and experience we’ve gathered throughout our lives in new ways — mentoring, supporting others and contributing to our community — resonated strongly with the Rotary spirit.

We are not always 'doing' things, often its just good people, good conversation, a few laughs and the chance to be ourselves.

And if you could start your Wednesday morning like this… why not join us? Wednesday mornings, PepperGreen Farm Nth Bendigo

KNOW A YOUNG PERSON WHO MAY BE A LEADER IN THE MAKING?

RYLA 2026 is coming.

Do you know a young person aged 18–28 who has ideas, energy and a desire to make a difference?

Maybe they’re already making their mark in their workplace, community, sporting club or university — or perhaps they simply have the potential to become an inspiring leader.

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is a life-changing, week-long leadership experience designed to challenge, inspire and empower young people.

Help a new family make Bendigo home.

Our Rotary members are doing something wonderful behind the scenes — helping Karen refugee families settle into life in Bendigo by sourcing good-quality, clean household items and furniture to help turn an empty house into a welcoming home.

We are expecting a new family to arrive very soon — a mother and her young children — and they will need the essentials to help furnish their new home.

I know we have asked before, and here we go again. If you are are decluttering, downsizing or replacing furniture and have clean, good-quality household items that are no longer needed we can give them a new home.

Send us a message or email John at [email protected] and our members will coordinate collection or delivery where possible.

Thank you to everyone who responded to our previous appeal.

For three months this winter, the Bendigo Winter Night Shelter gave people who were sleeping rough a warm, safe and welcoming place to stay. Behind this wonderful service are more than 400 volunteers who give their time, energy and compassion to make the BWNS possible. Among them are many dedicated Rotarians.

This year, Rotary Club of Bendigo Sandhurst was pleased to contribute funds to purchase firewood for the Shelter's outdoor fire area — a simple contribution that helped create a welcoming space where people could gather, enjoy the warmth and have a conversation. (Photo courtesy BWNS Facebook – participants enjoy the fire and firewood provided by local Rotary clubs.)

Rotary in Action: Making a Difference Near and Far. This month we take the time to say thanks to two of our members Judy Miatke and Brian Hodge. The spirit of Rotary is truly reflected in the outstanding work of these two Rotarians. Firstly, let’s cheer for Judy who completed 15 nights service to Bendigo Winter Night Shelter. On the night-shift Judy was there to assist with those arriving for a comfy bed and warm meal and kept things orderly throughout the night. And cheers also for Brian whose efforts to improve the lives and educational outcomes for children in Blue Kangaroo School Uganda are outstanding. Brian and his wife Jan began the project many years ago his work is now supported by Bendigo Sandhurst. Brian’s project has helped improve the educational opportunities available to children and their teachers; our club sponsoring teacher training and upskilling.
