Globally we are a worldwide organization that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 32,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. In addition to our local community projects, the Rotary Foundation is one of the World's largest chari
ties with projects including global polio eradication and disaster relief. This all sounds very grand, but Rotary's component part, it's people, are just ordinary folk who get together to have fun and in the process make a difference, sometime on a very large scale. The following are some of the programs and activities undertaken by our Club:
Provide skills for new generation youth leaders. Provide opportunities for youths to understand parliamentary style international debate. Provide opportunities for selected youths to experience life in another country as an Exchange Student. Help fund over 100 local community based service providers and charities. Sponsor, organise and set up recreational clubs (Probus) for retired people. We take special interest in the promotion of leadership, high ethical standards and vocational excellence in our community and its businesses. Some examples are:
Awards for good citizenship,
Awards for academic leadership,
Awards for vocational excellence,
Mentoring and leadership presentations,
Awards for disadvantaged youth and young people with disabilities
Please come along to one of our meetings and you will have the opportunity to see what we do as a club, and find out more about the commitment that is made by a person who becomes a Rotarian. Mailing address:
