Stortford Lodge Rotary Club is excited to know that we helped make a difference to our local environment and look forward to being able to assist in future initiatives

When you are a catchment group just getting started, building connections across a whole catchment can feel like a big task.

ROTARY IN ACTION
Thank you to all those who attended the firewood splitting working bee. All the wood was split and four loads were delivered, raising funds for our charities.
Cutting up the rings into manageable blocks, splitting, loading and delivery takes some time and energy, but a great morning tea makes all the difference. Great effort!
