Rotary Fellowships combine passion, friendship, and service
|
|
Rotary offers many opportunities to connect with others in your club and district who share similar passions. You also have many opportunities to connect with members globally.
Rotary Fellowships provide a great way to make new friends around the world and enhance your Rotary experience. The fellowships are international, independently organized groups of Rotarians, family members, program participants, and alumni who share a common passion. These groups range in interest from tennis to wine, marathon running to cooking, scuba diving to recreational vehicles, jazz to computers, and more. Currently, Rotary International officially recognizes 78 Rotary Fellowships. The groups reported a combined membership of 82,218 people in more than 150 countries in 2016-17. View a list of all fellowships and join one today! June is Rotary Fellowships Month. Read the Rotary Service blog to learn more about fellowship activities and service efforts. |

Final Chance to Vote for Fellowship Cup
Members are reminded that voting for the Fellowship Cup Award to be announced and presented at the Club Changeover Dinner is open.
Current holder of the cup Jim Hawkins emailed all members several weeks ago requesting each member respond by email, phone or in person at club dinner meetings advising their nominee for the award. To date many members are yet to respond.
If you have not yet registered your vote, please contact Jim at first opportunity.

Joint Meeting Wednesday 18 July 2017
In lieu of our usual Tuesday dinner meeting on 17 July we have accepted an invitation from Surfers Sunrise Club to join them in a special meeting at Surfers Paradise RSL Club.
District 9640 Peace Fellowship Chair, Ray Higgs has arranged for four Rotary Foundation Peace Fellows currently studying at the University of Queensland to come to the Gold Coast and present on what they do, their aims and how they intend to get there.
Burleigh Heads, Nerang and Surfers Paradise Clubs will also be joining us so this will be a great opportunity to join fellow Gold Coast Rotarians in fellowship as well as to meet current Peace Fellows from UQ and gain a better understanding of The Rotary Foundations Peace Fellowship Program.
Cost will be $22 which includes the meal, coffee and tea and 3 hours parking in Bruce Bishop Car Park across the road from the RSL Club.
