Welcome

Welcome to our website. Our Rotary Club was formed in 1973 and has been serving the local and broader community since that time; combining this with having a great deal of fun. It is a strong, active club with over 50 members who engage in a huge variety of projects in the course of any year. Our membership includes both men and women, of all age groups and from a diverse range of vocations. Probably our highest profile activity is organising the annual Eltham Festival. The club took on this project in 2002 and has focussed its approach to the event under the by-line of “bringing the community together” The Festival is the major event on the local calendar and provides an opportunity for all members of our club to make a valuable contribution to our community. It has been very pleasing to receive the positive feedback from the community that our involvement has received.
