Celebrating 60 Years

Chartered on the 8th August 1966 - and currently celebrating 60 Years of ‘Service Above Self’ by the Rotary Club of Eaglehawk

Our club extend our gratitude to our members, past and present, who over the years have contributed to our work in the community. Rotary International's reputation throughout the world is outstanding, but even more outstanding are the efforts of our local members in recognising the community's needs and responding accordingly.

Over the years, volunteerism may have declined, but the results of Rotary have increased - a testament to the dedication, commitment and determination of members such as those within our club.

Congratulations on the 60th anniversary of the start of the Rotary Club of Eaglehawk, and here's to the next 60 years.

Guest Speaker - David Bugeja

We were delighted to welcome David Bugeja back to the club this week - a former member whose contributions to the club were highly valued (and sorely missed when he left) was back among us.

David's return was as a guest speaker for the evening, sharing with our members his vast knowledge in regard to the IT industry with a special emphasis on AI. The implications of AI, the impact on business and the day-to-day (at times surprising) uses to which it's being put.

Our thanks for such an informative and well-planned presentation.

Celebrating our successess

Reading social media reports from other NFP's provided some inspiration - we often talk about needing to do better with promotion. So perhaps here is a start - this article was recently posted on our Facebook page and received some good traction in the community.

Our club is renowned for our fundraising, and the community know that we ensure our funds go to support those most in need. But, maybe what you don't know is how much, the actual value of that support. Well, how does $48,662.32 sound! Yep, that’s what we donated - and that's just in the last year!

In under 24 hours, it has received 213 views and 11 interactions. This is a great indication as to the power of social media and reaching out into the community. If all members were to share and repost this article, just imagine how many more people we will reach. It will do wonders for sharing the positive outcomes from our fundraising - like all posts on our socials, we really benefit from our members' interactions, maximising our exposure.

President Lindsay Walkington

Congratulations to Rotarian Lindsay Walkington on being selected as Club President for 2026-2027. As we celebrate our club's 60th Anniversary and continue to add to our history of service to the local community, we know we are in great hands.

Rotary Bookshop

The number of people out and about and visiting the book shop normally drops off at this time of year, so Rita and her team of willing helpers have revised the book shop's opening hours.

Over the next few months, these new hours will apply -

Wednesdays - 10am-12noon

Saturdays - 10am-12noon
