Throughout the pandemic, members are discovering ways to connect, cope, and care for each other and people in the communities they serve.

For true economic development, women are essential

Here’s why these organizations and their Rotary club partners are supporting local women’s entrepreneurship with financial literacy, small business loans, and one-on-one advisors.

Barry Halpern

Welcome. My name is Barry Halpern, President of the Rotary Club of Doncaster .

We are a team of community minded people who volunteer our time as part of an international network of business, professional and community leaders who strive to make the world a better place.

Club members have many opportunities to serve, locally, nationally and internationally. Our service programs help address opportunities relating to health care, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, youth and the environment.

Our members experience the satisfaction from giving back to the community, and also the opportunity to enhance our own lives along the way.

We would welcome you to join us at one of our meetings or events to find out more about what we do, and why we are committed to help do our part to make a difference in the world.

Feel free to contact me on 0419 332 982 or barryhrotary@gmail.com

2020-21 Rotary Theme

Rotary International President Holger Knaack believes that Rotary is not just a network of Clubs. It is an invitation to endless opportunities.

It opens opportunities to serve in a project as big and historic as End Polio Now and also in a small community project, where you just plant a tree.

And it opens opportunities to live a richer, more meaningful life, with friends around the world, based on our core values.

Everything we do opens another opportunity for someone, somewhere.

Rotary is still in action ....

Our thoughts go out to all people and organisations affected by COVID-19.

We sincerely thank all our Government leaders, healthcare professionals, emergency services and security workers, and those still working to provide essential goods and services to our community. Thank you and stay safe.

Pictured here are many of the members and friends of the Rotary Club of Doncaster, connecting via video conference, to continue planning current and future work.

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
