The Rotary Club of Woden

Our mission statement:

The Rotary Club of Woden:
Is a group associated in fellowship to achieve the maximum development of the service ethic.
The practical manifestation of this will be in assistance to:

(1) a carefully selected range of projects involving youth and community services, targeted primarily to the Woden Valley, and
(2) World Understanding and Peace through other selected Rotary projects.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

The Mission Statement will be implemented by the following measures:

Fellowship:
Careful and continuing attention to the weekly meetings so that they are a source of pleasure and of information to members, ensuring the retention and motivation of present members and the recruitment of new members.
Service:
All projects should be carefully selected to be of a size which the Club can readily manage and of a limited duration.
Fund raising:
Significant low risk ventures which have an element of fellowship, and which give an opportunity to involve other groups, thus widening the recognition in the community of Woden’s service above self.
Local projects:
Should be visible to the community and where possible involve the recipients actively. They should be an opportunity for fellowship for members.
National and international projects:
Selected by this Club from projects proposed by other local Clubs.

NOTES: This statement was adopted by the Club on 10 February 1993. It was to be seen as “a living document, that is kept relevant to the Club members’ perception of Service Above Self”.
