Yours in Rotary Service,

See you there

It's with great sadness that after 38 years,

The Rotary Club of Bundaberg City Daybreak will close the doors, come the end of June.

It's not a decision that has been easy to come to or one that was made in haste, the dependance on such a small group of dedicated volunteers has sadly become too difficult to sustain.

Whilst sad, we would love instead to celebrate the many amazing years and the Rotarians who have been part of our history. We can be proud of the many great things we have contributed to within our community and we would like to thank and pay tribute to our members past and present, supporters and friends with a farewell meal on Saturday the 6th of June at 6.30pm at the Bowlo - Burnett Bowls Club

Please let us know if you'd like to join us, we look forward to a momentous last hurrah see you there.

President and Rotarian
