Welcome
Welcome to the website for the
Rotaract club of Burwood, in NSW, Australia.
Who we are?
In short, we’re a bunch of
young people who want to contribute to the community.
Rotaract itself originally began as
a
Rotary International youth programme in 1968 but has
grown into a major Rotary organisation of over 7,000 clubs
spread around the world with over 170 000 members. Whilst
the aim is to bring peace and international understanding
to the world, at our club, we start at the grassroots by
helping the local community.
What do we do?
We fundraise by planning,
organising and hosting our own events, from boat cruises to
BBQs, and then donate the money to charities we think make
a difference. We also help out in the community, from
driving Red Shield
Appeal doorknockers, to cleaning up
local areas for CleanUp Australia Days. Everything we do is
organised by members, done by members, for the community.
We get our hands dirty, and have a lot of fun in the
process.
When do we meet?
Burwood RSL Club (96
Shaftesbury Road,
Burwood), usually on the first Thursday of each month, but
be sure to email us to check.
