Rotary Club of Ku-ring-gai

People of action: having fun making a difference

Supporting our community

100% volunteer

Rotary is where neighbours, friends and problem-solvers share ideas and take action to create lasting change.
100% of net funds raised are allocated to local and international beneficiaries - the Rotary Club of Ku-ring-gai members are volunteers and there are no management fees.
Many (most) of our projects are instigated, developed and managed by our members.
Help us help make a difference!……new members are most welcome….we meet the first Monday every monthly at the St Ives Club.
