Yearly membership fees if you are accepted by our club as a member are $200.00. Except a tiny amount, this fee does not go to our club for fundraising - It covers the cost of your monthly “Rotary Down Under” (RDU) Magazine subscription that is sent to your nominated address. The remainder of the fee goes to Rotary Australia to cover admin costs associated with membership. We as a club cover the cost of your gold membership badge that you are expected to wear each week at our normal club meetings & when you are out and about at any of our club fundraising efforts.

About 3 out of 4 weeks a month we have an interesting guest speakers that comes to talk to us about a variety of amazing topics. Then once a month we hear from the directors in our club about what is happening at the moment & we also hear about any future exciting events that we need to plan for.

The members voices were heard loud & clear when we recently did a health check on the club & discovered - they wanted more social outings & events to happen outside our normal club meetings - Members wanted to spend more time getting to know their fellow Rotarian's.So there will be a monthly social schedule drawn up & it will be jam packed with social activities for all budgets & appetites !!(KATE our appointed social secretary - is standing in the centre of this photo) Rhonda Langford on left & Kathy King on right, enjoying the anual boat cruise.Social secretary: contact email: socialsecretary@moonahrotary.orgSome members at INTERACT presentation lunch.

When you look through this web site, you will discover the huge variety of projects that we as a club undertake & support on a yearly basis.

We support a wide range of projects – some that are sometimes a once off community service - like “a young mum recently needed a safety car seat for a new born baby, because hers had been burnt out in her car”, or when natural disasters hit, we use our Rotary contacts through out the world & move into action after finding out what their needs are from the people on the ground - this ensures the money we donate does not go into admin fees, instead helping the familes most in need - The range of projects goes right through to “providing ongoing support and backing to Australia’s Mental Health education crisis”, & on the other end of the scale we “provide many certificates for some of our amazing kids in our local schools in the area”.

There is never a project too small or too big that we won’t consider offering our help with – if there is a consensus from our committed members.

All our major club fundraisers are built around being “fair to all concerned” one of the FOUR WAY TEST that we Rotarian’s live by. So when we ask for sponsorship, prizes or partnerships with business or individuals – we do it with that slogan in mind.

Ask how we can be of service to you. At the time of this page being updated the chair of fundraising was Rotarian Brian Medwin. (Brian seated bellow -raising his glass for the cause !!)
