Are you an established professional who wants to make positive changes in your community and the world?

Our club members are dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship. Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group who share your drive to give back. 

Our 1.2 million-member organization started with the vision of one man—Paul P. Harris. The Chicago attorney formed one of the world’s first service organizations, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905 as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. Rotary’s name came from the group’s early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of each member.
 
The Rotary Club of Caroline Springs is a relatively new club but we are here as part of your community in Caroline Springs. If you have a project come and talk with us, better yet speak at one of our meetings to see how we can collaborate with one another to serve this community and together we can connect.
 
 
You are invited to join us at an upcoming meeting held every Wednesday at Billy's Paddock. However we are holding next week's meeting via zoom due to the lockdown. Contact us to find out more at rotarycarolinesprings@gmail.com

Meeting 1 Sept
We had no speaker at this week's meeting. It was mostly a quick catch up to see how everyone was coping with the current lockdown affecting Caroline Springs and with our work life balance. We welcomed the following guests: Peter Schultheiss (former member retired) and Mukand El Kaushik. Kathy who chaired the meeting did the rounds asking everyone how they were and gave a rundown of the Westside Cluster meeting that she attended last week and how DG Dale Hoy will schedule a time to join in one of our meetings. 
 
Mukand introduced himself and spoke about how he came to be in Caroline Springs and his time in the Caroline Springs Senior's group. We spoke about Sandra Dunbar and if she had made it back to Melbourne. Peter told us about his round Australia bike ride adventure and how his bike had broken down after a 1000km. His motorbike is still stuck Interstate and yet to be loaded onto a truck to come back here and how he come home on a Lear jet back to Melbourne. It is currently in the safe hands or a Yamaha dealer waiting for Peter's instruction. Peter also mentioned how touched based with Donald Williams, a friend of Ronald, who has a similar motorbike interest.
