Serving the Community since 1951

We have sponsored many new Clubs, and have undertaken an almost countless number and range of projects over the years. We enjoy our activities which allow us to interact with our community, especially our younger members. For example, during the last year, our club has devoted more than 600 volunteer hours towards youth-related activities, and dispersed more than $26,000 to local and international organisations.

Broadly, our activities fall into two main categories: Fundraising; and Community Service.

Fundraising activities include a large number of BBQs, many of which are monthly regular events such as the Queanbeyan Markets or the Bunnings Sausage Sizzles. Others are regular Annual events such as the Australia Day celebrations, the Xmas in July celebrations, and the Terribly British Car show, to name a few.

Community Service activities include both one-off, and a large number of regular activities such as maintaining the gardens at Home in Queanbeyan, cooking BBQ breakfasts during school term for the Fit For Life program at the PCYC in Queanbeyan, sponsoring the annual 2-day visit of the Men's Health Education Rural Van (MHERV) which provides free Health checks conducted by a Registered Nurse, and a driver education education program for Year 11 students called U-Turn the Wheel (see here for more information), to name a few!

Fund-Raising

Our fund-raising efforts each year provide us with significant funds which we usually disburse during our Changeover program in June each year.

Community Services

We also provide a range of community services (ie not fund-raising), and enjoy our interaction with our community.

This includes activities such as cooking bbq’s for the NAIDOC week, cooking breakfast for students attending the Fit For Life Program at the PCYC every Thursday morning (the 7am start can be a little daunting in winter!!), doing upgrades to local playgrounds (ie Ernie Beaver Park), provision of Dream Cricket Kits for local kids with special needs, supporting the local Council when they ask us to run BBQs for community events, and many more.

We will continue working within our community to support those in need, and to raise funds for specific programs and projects.

If you would like to become involved, either as a Member, or a "Friend of Rotary", please don't hesitate to contact us here.
