Connecting Communities | 19–25 May

National Volunteer Week 2025 celebrates the power of volunteering to bring people together with the theme ‘Connecting Communities’. Let’s acknowledge the spirit of connection and the incredible impact volunteers have in building inclusive and thriving communities.

The club is very appreciative of the support from our sponsors at the successful Annual Golf Day.

The Golf Day on March 28th at Eynesbury Golf Course was a great success, with 67 registered paid-up players and 63 actually playing on the day. Our net return was a pleasing $6245. The Board has set a target of $10000 for next year. There was great support from the sponsors, which was much appreciated. The advance notice to past players in December resulted in their continued support.

Rotary SAFE Families looks forward to you joining our second Mega Meeting and representing Australia in this global pandemic of family violence and abuse that is a huge problem around the world.
We are honoured to be joined by our Patrons, Gordon McInally, Immediate Past President RI and Grace Van Zyl, Chair RAG for Peace.

On April 10th His Excellceny Anwar Muktar Mohammed, Ethiopian Ambassador to Canberra and Consul Genersal, Yalet Getachew Ashenafi visited Donations in Kind to see first hand the donations of equipment to be transported in the 19th container to be shipped to the Horn of Africa.  PE Elizabeth Drozd, Jama Farah (Project Coordinator)  and Ron Hunt were present representing the club.

DIK is needing more volunteers and is currently asking Rotary members, friends of Rotary and any interested volunteers to assist at the warehouse with unpacking donated goods.  There is currently a backlog of boxes waiting to be unpacked, sorted and prepared to be donated locally or for overseas projects. 
Jama, Ron, Maria and Elizabeth helped last week and will volunteer at DIK as much as they can over the coming weeks.  We welcome other Club members to join us. Everyone is welcome including your friends and family members.
