What's Rotaract?
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.
Can I join? Where do you meet?
We'd love for you to join! All you need
to do is send us an email or come to a meeting. We meet at
Burwood RSL Club (96 Shaftesbury Road, Burwood), usually on
the first Thursday of each month, but be sure to email us
to check.
