The members of the Rotary Club of Wahroonga have been serving our community since 1975. The work the club has done ranges from:

•  Bringing to Sydney a small girl from East Timor, and a little child
  from Mongolia for life-saving heart operations, - to readily-seen
   improvements in Wahroonga village

• Continuing assistance to the children of St Lucy’s School for
  the Visually-Impaired,-  to help for a holiday camp at Vision
  Valley for underprivileged and at-risk children

• Sending young school graduates as exchange students all over
  the world and hosting  overseas students in return,-  to running an
  annual  training camp for hundreds of young leaders of youth
  groups.

• Support for many small charities such as Riding for the
  Disabled,- to raising funds for bushfire relief or for medical
  research through the Australian Rotary Health Research Fund

• Organising more than 20 teams of local collectors each Red Shield
  Day - to sending a postgraduate student to the US to study
  indigenous peoples’ problems

Rotary promotes high ethical standards in professional, business and personal
life.  It gives its members the opportunity to develop their own skills
and personalities by organising and running major  projects, speaking
at club and higher-level Rotary meetings.

The men and women of Wahroonga Rotary are either residents of the
area, or with businesses or professional work in our area. They were
invited to join the club because they were vitally interested in
contributing to their community in ways such as the activities
above – and because they were also interested in enjoying themselves.
Rotary is not just about Doing Good Things – it’s about having fun Doing
Good Things. The members enjoy fellowship in activities such as sports
days, home dinners, restaurant outings, theatre parties and fashion
parades, as well as at their weekly meetings.

The club began in 1975 as a lunch club, and in 1985 switched to become the
First Rotary Breakfast Club in Australia. It meets at:

The Warrawee Bowling Club, Pacific Highway

at 7.15 for 7.30am each Wednesday, finishing at 8.30am sharp.

Members find that they can attend the club, breakfast with their friends, hear
about club activities, then listen to an interesting guest speaker, and still have
a full business day ahead.

There are many facets of Rotary other than just meetings and good works
Rotary has more than a million members in clubs around the world, and
every Rotary club welcomes travelling Rotarians as visitors. You
can “make up” in more than 150 countries (or around Australia), meet people
in the same line of work or profession, and be welcomed and helped as a
friend.

Rotary has many fellowships, associations of Rotarians under the Rotary
banner with common interests such as business or recreation. For instance
Australian Rotarian cricketers in 2001 toured the UK, home-hosted by UK
Rotarians and playing teams of local Rotarians. Rotarians in a fellowship of
home-sharers can travel and stay with fellow members the world over.
Rotarian chess enthusiasts play games circling the globe. Golf, flying, sailing
are all covered. Professional associations range from Pharmacy to
Law, Accountancy to Law Enforcement.
