Welcome to the Rotary Club of Burwood's website!

Burwood is one of the larger Rotary clubs in our district 9696, which spreads from Burwood to the Upper Blue Mountains and Liverpool.

Burwood Rotary Club has for its 70 years had a continual history of being very active in the community and focusing on raising funds for community service organizations. These may operate locally, across the nation or internationally. They each seek to improve the lives of the individual people and communities they are involved with and support - just like the Rotarians of Burwood.

This year the Club's focus is upon children with disabilities.  The Club has nominated three charitable organisations to support.  Firstly Eurella Community Service Inc. and specifically their Karobran Educational Program designed for children from birth to 5 years with special needs.  We are also supporting Autism Spectrum Australia and Sailors with Disabilities which uses sail training and yacht racing as a medium to deliver free programs to disabled and disadvantaged children (4000 a year).  We have specifically targeted each organisation in our fundraising events such as our Dinner in the Park, Christmas Stocking and a Raffle with the prize being a twilight sail on Sydney Harbour.

 

We are also holding our inaugural Burwood Rotary Business Community Awards (BCA) Night on 3 March 2012 with the intention being to provide awards to local business organisations that do what we at Rotary do - support the local community and charitable organisations.  This will be a gala event and there will be more news on this on our website as the night is organised.

 

The Club also proposes to organise membership information nights throughout the year to interested persons who may consider joining the world wide organisation of Rotary.  More information on this will be provided throughout the year.  If you are interested in considering joining Rotary, please do not hesitate to contact myself during work hours on 9744 9247.

 

Here is to another successful year for the Rotary Club of Burwood Inc.
