Rotary CLUB OF BURWOOD Affirmation: 

May Rotary friends and Rotary ways help us to serve our community
here and abroad in many ways.
 
 
What a fabulous way to start off the year!  It was so good to see so many of our members at the Burwood Command Police Event on Monday 3rd February.  Several Rotary Clubs were represented and everyone enjoyed the evening!  Next Monday, we are back at the Coro Club, 6 for 6.15 pm start.  We will hold a Board Meeting that night but as usual, all members are invited to join us.  In fact, I strongly encourage all members to attend as we have some very difficult decisions to be made and all input will be greatly appreciated.
 
 
District 9685 Conference
Our Better World: through People and Rotary, a summit dedicated to sustainability and humanitarianism.  Join Rotarians and friends from D9685 and D9675 at Penrith 22nd March 2025.  Together, we can cultivate a brighter future for all.  To register go to the Rotary District 9685 website.
 
Rotary Pacific Zone Conference
Coolangatta is the venue for the 2025 Rotary Pacific Zone Conference, taking place from 30 October to 2 November 2025.  We are encouraging all Rotarians and Rotaractors to come together.  All are welcome.  You will be inspired and motivated as we connect and share ideas to grow Rotary and activate the strategic priorities of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation.  Our 2025 event will be held at the Twin Towns Conference Centre.  There are plenty of things you can do in this famous part of Australia and its hinterland before or after the conference.  -  PDG Ingrid Waugh 2025 Zone Conference Chair.
 
Presidential Message 2025-26
