Community
The Rotary Club of Burnside is involved with many community
projects. Several projects are supported on a continual basis over many
years, others are single-event activities.
Some activities are held to raise funds to support worthy causes
such as donations to the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the club's Carpe
Diem Trust or upgrading facilities at the Helena Goldie Hospital at Munda
in the Solomon Islands. Still other funds are used for emergency disaster
relief or assisting communities in 3rd world countries with, for example,
access to potable water. Occasonally the club may join with one or more other
clubs on larger projects.
