Information about Rotary

The Rotary Club of Woy Woy will host an information evening on November 25, to give local residents the opportunity to learn about the club's active role in the wider community.

"Are Rotarians old men who meet once a week to drink port and reminisce about the good old days?" publicity officer Mr Ross Pearse asked rhetorically.

"I am sure you will find the answer to the question is no.

"The Rotary Club of Woy Woy is offering you to chance to find out what Rotary really does to help the community, both locally and internationally.

"If you have ever considered joining Rotary or are simply interested in finding out what Rotary does, we would like you to join us on the night.

"The evening will include a two-course dinner and quality speakers on Rotary and what it does locally and internationally."

Mr Pearse said the Rotary Club was an organisation for both men and women.

The club currently had 40 members, including 13 women and was wanting to increase its numbers.

"We participate in a wide range of projects for local charities and community groups including the Umina and Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Clubs, nursing homes and Mary Macs Kitchen, a service providing meals for the homeless.

"We also ensure we have lots of fun and enjoy the social aspects of belonging to a club."

The information evening will be held at the Everglades Country Club.

For catering purposes, bookings are required by November 24, and can be made by calling John Garwood on 4369 8834.
