✨ Welcoming New Women in Rotary ✨

Over the past year, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming 7 incredible women into our Rotary family. Each brings unique experiences, perspectives, skills and a shared passion for community impact and service.

From community engagement and leadership to advocacy, business and volunteering, these women reflect the growing diversity, strength and future of Rotary.

Their willingness to serve, connect and contribute reminds us that Rotary continues to evolve through people who care deeply about making a difference — both locally and globally. 🌏💙

We are excited for the journey ahead and grateful to have these new members as part of our Rotary community.

What an incredible day at the Lindfield Fun Run! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💛

From the very first volunteers setting up before sunrise, to the cheering crowds, school communities, sponsors, marshals and smiling runners crossing the finish line — the energy throughout the day was truly something special.

Events like this are a beautiful reminder of what community is all about: people coming together to support one another, encourage healthy lifestyles, create connections and make a positive impact locally.

A huge thank you to every volunteer, sponsor, participant, school and supporter who helped make the event such a success. Your time, enthusiasm and generosity are what bring these community events to life.

We are so proud to be part of a community that continues to show up, give back and support one another with such heart.

Here’s to many more moments of connection, service and community spirit together. 💛
