How we are organised

We organise our committees around Rotary's five main Avenues of Service. 

• International - our International committee oversees the fund raising for and execution of our projects to assist international communities in need, such as Baha Tuluyan in the Phillipines, orphanages and the Children's Hospital in Myanmar, medical equipment to Kenya, cleft lip surgery in Sri Lanka and educational supplies to Peru amongst others. We actively support Donations in Kind, a recycling centre with overseas destinations.
•  
• Youth & Environmental Services - as the name suggests, this avenue of service focuses on initiatives aimed at building strength in our youth community and, sponsoring youth exchange students/scholarships/participation in educational forums. Protection of the environment is vitally important and attracts our attention with revegetation and war on plastics.
•  
• Club Service - the objective of this avenue of service is to run the activities of the Club and provide Fellowship by organising fun social events for Rotarian's and their guests. Events typically include attending the theatre, restaurant nights, annual Christmas function, Charter night (the clubs birthday), cup sweep, car rally, night at the races, etc.

• Vocational Service - focuses on how Rotary members bring the objectives of Rotary to life through their employment. Activities undertaken here are visits to various places of employment and/or education (e.g. Aviation Industry Training Centre); business/community service mentoring support for the Victorian Police; Rotary Presents, an annual business networking luncheons.                                                                                                                                                                                                         
•  
• Community - this avenue of service is focused on projects to assist the local community. Over the years these projects have included over $100,000 raised to support for Cancer Research, purchase of a motor vehicle and computers for Caroline Chisholm Society (in partnership with Bendigo Community Bank), establishment and on-going support of Rowallan Scout Camp, funding the building of a pergola at one of Gelibrand Support Services special needs homes, construction of facilities in Queen's Park, establishment and on-going support of the Moonee Valley Children's traffic school and involved in the setting up and management (with 2 other Rotary Clubs) of the Strathmore Mens Shed.
