We are turning 50 this year! - Come Celebrate with us and get involved.
Something special is happening in 2021, when we mark the 50th Birthday of the Rotary Club of Doncaster, not only our club, but clubs in Melbourne, Adelaide, and New Zealand. Together we have spent 100 years making a difference to the lives and destinies of generations. Nation- building projects, international transformations and overcoming local disadvantage is our legacy.
But it is a time for more than just a grand celebration. Our job is not yet done. Our club’s main project is the Doncaster Hill Markets run on the first Sunday of every month an important community initiative that will help propel us into the next century of community service.
As the coming year unfolds, we will be providing opportunities for all our club members to get involved and celebrate our 50th But also the Centenary of Rotary in Australia.
Doncaster Rotary Club was chartered in 1972 and since then we have been actively helping the Manningham Communities.
Over the last 50 years Doncaster Rotary Club has donated 10s of thousands of dollars to local, national and international charities and programs.

2020 Bruce Parker OAM Vocational Awardee Named
Please join in congratulating Lal Bochung on being the inaugural recipient of the Bruce Parker OAM, Rotary Club of Doncaster Vocational Award.
Lal recently completed his Certificate 111 in Landscape Construction at the Box Hill Institute after overcoming significant hardships. These included arriving in Australia as a refugee from Myanmar in 2017 with no English skills and very little formal training, as well as no local network. He truly is an inspiration.
The BHI staff have done an amazing job facilitating Lal's development and creating opportunities for him, including his successful nomination for this Vocational Award.
We are very proud to be associated with the Box Hill Institute and wish Lal every success as he makes his mark in his adopted country.

Rotary continues on community radio ...
Community radio is deemed an "essential service" by our Government leaders during the COVID-19 lock down.
Some of our Club members continue to serve on 94.1 FM 3WBC and 96.5 Inner FM to provide some sense of normality to their listening audience.
Of course all the Government COVID-19 hygiene and distancing guidelines are being followed, and our members will continue their service in this area as long as it is safe to do so.
Pictured here is PDG Russell interviewing RAWCS Projects and Volunteers Manager, Mick Willis, and having fun, via video conference.
Why not listen in and hear great stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, making a real difference, all interleaved with some great music.
- Every Tuesday @ 3pm on 96.5 Inner Fm
- Every Friday @ 6pm on 94.1 FM 3WBC
#WeAreRotary #PeopleOfAction
