September Wrap Up: A month of community, connection and a little bit of gnome magic 🩷

September was another busy month for the Rotaract Club of Canberra, with our members getting involved across Canberra through service, leadership and plenty of opportunities to connect with our wider Rotary family.

Here’s what we’ve been up to:
🌷 Floriade Gnomes
We joined the Murrumbidgee Canberra Rotary Club for a little bit of Floriade fun, helping bring the magic of the gnomes to life.

🛍️ Trash & Treasure Markets with Belconnen Rotary
Our favourite Sunday tradition continued! We were back supporting the weekly Trash and Treasure Market Jamison alongside the Rotary Club of Belconnen.

🎤 Sharing the RYLA experience
Miles and Nick returned to the Rotary Club of Hall to share their RYLA District 9705 journeys, reflecting on the leadership lessons, challenges and connections that made their experience so memorable.

💜 Commemorating ITP Awareness Week
We marked ITP Awareness Week with a very important ingredient: purple cupcakes! 🧁
Our VP Stass shared her experience living with ITP, helping raise awareness and start conversations about a condition she lives with every day. Thanks to a Sweet Bones Bakery And Cafe for helping us raise awareness and add a little sweetness to the week.

Think Rotaract isn’t for you? Think again 👀👉

❌ “I don’t have enough experience.”
✅ Rotaract is where you gain experience.

❌ “I’m too busy.”
✅ Rotaract looks different for everyone. Join when you can, contribute where you can.

❌ “I don’t know anyone.”
✅ Most of us joined alone. Now we have lifelong friends.

❌ “I’m not a natural leader.”
✅ Leadership is a skill you build, not something you’re born with.

❌ “It’s just volunteering.”
✅ Rotaract is service, friendships, professional development and so much more!

Come as you are. Grow as you go. Join Rotaract! 🩷

So… what is Rotaract? 🤔
We’re a global community of young leaders creating positive change through service, connection and action. Locally, we’re contributing to the ACT community.

Rotaract is people 🥰
People who want to meet new friends, build their confidence, give back to their community, learn new skills and make things happen.

Rotaract is service 🌱
From volunteering and fundraising to community projects and advocacy, Rotaract members work together to tackle challenges that matter.

Rotaract is leadership 🗣️
You don’t need to be a “leader” to join. Rotaract is where many people discover their ability to organise, communicate, collaborate and create change.

Rotaract is connection 🤝
A place to meet people from different backgrounds, industries and experiences, all brought together by a shared desire to make a difference.

Rotaract is for everyone. 🌏
Whether you’ve been volunteering for years or you’re looking for your first opportunity to get involved, there’s a place for you.
