Rotary Club of Wahroonga

Chartered on the 25th November 1975

Posted by Ian Cameron on Jan 20, 2019

Another wonderful and successful Week at RYLA has been run at the Elanora Heights Conference centre by a very capable committee led by Kiera Piper RYLA Director 2019 - 2021

We were very proud to have the opportunity to sponsor 4 nominees and they have had a wonderful experience. Barbara Salisch and Phill Comfort ( and Shirley) arranged the interview process and couriered the young people too and from the venue.

All smiles below after an exhausting week--we will hear from them over the next couple of weeks at our regular meeting.

Launching a New Rotaract Club

Posted by Ian Cameron on Jan 03, 2019

We are excited about the opportunity being created to form a new ROTARACT Club in the Hornsby-Ku-ring-Gai area of the Upper North Shore to present young professionals in our Northern Suburb and beyond--a platform--summarised as an opportunity to network with likeminded new friends, personal development and a means to serve our community.

Rotaract Clubs form part of the Rotary family, and are for people between the ages of 18 and 30.

The location, timing and frequency of meetings of the new Rotaract Club will be determined by the founding membership. They will also decide on the specific activities which they will undertake, although the local Rotary Clubs will always be available to offer support and advice.

Links to other useful information about Rotaract are included below here and you are warmly welcome to join the first Membership Interest meeting to be held at the new PCYC facility in Waitara --two meetings available Wednesday the 13th February and Saturday the 16th February. Light refreshments will be available.

A time to be jolly...

Posted by Ian Cameron on Dec 10, 2018

Our bucket brigade gathered at the #sancarols-- a spectacular evening and thanks to the generous audience for their contributions to our collection in part to be used to add to our efforts to support family bursaries at #stedmunds and #stlucys in Wahroonga.

The Christmas Spirit abounds.....

The club was delighted to have the use of the McWannell residence again this year for an elegant celebratory function.

The food (plenty of it) and wines were fantastic and members gathered around the pool deck for a jolly time.

Sandy/Barry entertained us admirably with carols and music accompaniment on the Eukele from Rob Ferguson.

George Richards and Liz joined the evening.

St Lucy's and St Edmunds annual bursaries

Posted by Ian Cameron on Dec 04, 2018

Annually the club gathers in numbers through late November and early December to frequent the Wahroonga shopping precinct and sell Raffle tickets to raise funds for the family bursaries we provide at St Lucys' and St Edmunds special schools.

We had the opportunity to attend the Wahroonga Fair last weekend and 20 + members and some local school senior students from Knox and Abottsleigh joined us to sell tickets--we raised $1200+ to add to that raised at the Wahroonga Food and Wine festival and other weekends at the Wahroonga precinct--We expect to raise $4000+ over the period. Thank you to the Wahroonga community and visitors for their generosity.
