Dear members and friends of the Rotary Club of Sydney Darling Harbour,

A big thank you to everyone who attended our most recent evening meeting. As you’d recall, our Assistant District Governor, Shane Burrett, spoke to the Club about the Rotary regionalisation project. This is a bold change to the District structure of Rotary, which the Club will be voting on between the 15th and 29th of September. If you’re interested in learning more about this proposal, more information can be found at the Creating Tomorrow Rotary page, or at the Rotary Zone 8 website.

Otherwise, I hope you’re enjoying your Monday!

The Rotary Club of Sydney Darling is an active and an effective community service group, with a broad array of projects on the go. We support women’s homeless shelters, we plant trees, we organise fundraisers and much, much more. We have members from all walks of life and are always ready to try our hand at something new. Like any Rotary Club, our members are our most valuable asset. Their passion, skills and service are the only reasons we’re able to make the changes in the world that we can.

We would love to have you amongst us and to work on things you care about. We’d be delighted to add any project you’d like to raise to our list, and to show how the global Rotary network can help make you a part of making the world a better place.
