The members of the Rotary Club of Wahroonga have been serving our community since 1975 when it began as a lunch club. In 1985, it switched to become the First Rotary Breakfast Club in Australia.
Contributions range from:
Ø 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 our own Wahroonga village.
Ø Continuing assistance to the children with special needs at St Lucy’s and St Edmund's schools, - to help for a holiday camp at Vision Valley for underprivileged and at-risk children.
Ø Support for many charities large and small,- to raising funds for bushfire relief or for medical research through the Australian Rotary Health Research Fund.
Ø Organising more than 20 teams of local collectors each Red Shield Day - to sponsoring attendees at national and state summer schools and at Rotary organised events for young people
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. 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.
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.
You can find out more about worldwide Rotary itself and the Rotary Club of Wahroonga by contacting us at: PO Box 13, Wahroonga 2076 or emailing us, or by asking members you know or meet.
