Strathpine Rotary Club

The club is the cornerstone of Rotary, where the most meaningful work is carried out. All effective Rotary clubs are responsible for four key elements: sustaining or increasing their membership base , participating in service projects that benefit their own community and those in other countries, supporting The Rotary Foundation of RI financially and through program participation, and developing leaders capable of serving in Rotary beyond the club level.

What Rotarians get out of Rotary depends largely on what they put into it. Many membership requirements are designed to help members become and remain active participants in their clubs and enjoy their Rotary experience.

Service

All Rotary clubs share a key mission: to serve their community and those in need throughout the world. By participating in club service projects , members learn about their club's involvement in local and international projects and can volunteer their time and talents where they are most needed.
