OUR HISTORY

Serving the Community since 1951

Our Club was formed on 15th March 1951, 22 years later than the first effort to start the club. Sponsored by Rotary Club of Canberra, our Club wasted no time in sponsoring other Clubs.

Over the years, Queanbeyan Rotary has had a very rich and varied history in our area, including involvement in one form or another in nearly every charitable organisation. To read all about our more than 70-year history, please click here to see the speech from our 70th birthday celebration.
