Rotary is an international organisation, mainly comprising business and professional people, who encourage and foster service to the community.
It operates as a club with weekly meetings (generally with a guest speaker) where business, community or service is discussed in a social environment.
It places particular emphasis on high ethical standards in business and the professions, the application of service and the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace.

How Do We Serve the Community?

We promote the highest ethical standards in all occupations, including faithfulness, fidelity and fair treatment. We encourage recognition of the worthiness to society of all useful occupations and we recognise the contribution of vocational talents to the needs of the world.

We have a broad range of programmes and projects in areas such as community and human development, help for the disadvantaged and environmental protection.

These programmes contribute to education, health, facilities, childcare, crime prevention, the elderly, immigrant assimilation, literacy and others.
We are involved in larger scale overseas projects where we contribute personnel and funds to advance international understanding through contact whilst contributing to another country’s community issues.

How Do We Raise The Money for All This?

By far the largest source of funds for our many projects is commercial sponsorship. During the 60 years of our existence, some of the local businesses have been very generous and contributed large sums of money over time. Some are international or national corporations with offices and many employees in the Chatswood area, but some are local businesses that see their contributions as an indicator of their involvement in the community. We also raise money from the public and our members via fund-raising events and a fortnightly barbecue in the Victoria Avenue shopping area.
