Rotary Nowra supporting our Local Community

Recently, Rotary Nowra delivered another project to a worthwhile local organisation that was in need of assistance.

With a focus on the local community, that also includes youth and vocational programs and projects, Rotary Nowra provides assistance to a number of humanitarian service organisations. The reason Rotary supports these other service organisations as opposed to supporting individuals directly is that, Rotary Club members may not have the expertise necessary to determine and prioritise an individual’s needs.

Interesting and enjoyable District Conference in Cooma

The District Conference in Cooma over the weekend went very well, with lots of great presentations from very talented, passionate people; great entertainment and camaraderie. Some opportunities for us, I believe, for more visibility in the local community.  Along with representatives from Gerringong Sunrise, we presented the first batch of ‘cards’ to the NSW Rural Financial Counselling Service for distribution to the needy farmers.
