President: Andrew Harman
Our club is a breakfast club, so every Wednesday morning you can enjoy Rotary fellowship over breakfast, listen to a guest speaker, have a few laughs till 8:30am, and still make it to work on time.
Our club is involved in many community activities both here in Ballarat and also in Ambon, Indonesia. From a local community perspective, we support Rotary's Community Care Centre, students at Yuille Park Community College through scholarships, attendance of young people at RYLA and NYSF, hosting an exchange student as well as providing goods for the homeless. Last year we donated over $11,000 to the Ballarat Regional Cancer Centre's Wellness Centre. We also support Australian Rotary Health which focuses on research into the mental wellbeing of children up to 12 years of age.
Internationally we support the End Polio Now campaign, provide financial and hands-on support to an orphanage in Ambon Indonesia and use grants to support other initiatives worldwide, including most recently sponsorship for a midwives mentoring program between Australia and Papua New Guinea.
We pride ourselves on “making a difference” to the local and international community.
Our fundraising activities include Ballarat Gourmet Goodies Hampers, the monthly Bridge Mall Farmers Market, BBQ’s, Redline Speedway gates, Trivia Nights and manning the gates at the Buninyong Football Club's home games amongst other activities.
