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
Latest News - Speaker Tiarne Horsburgh of Tee & Coffee
Tee & Coffee - Coffee and Cake anyone!
It’s always good to hear from someone that has started a small business and is successful. Tee & Coffee sells Tea and Coffee, yes that is correct and was started up about 19 months ago by Tiarne or T for short. Working in the hospitality industry is tough to say the least but when Covid hit it becomes lot tougher. T used to work for the Coffee Club and had to travel frequently over weekends and work long hours during the week. It had its challenges and working in the corporate world was no easy task. It meant a lot of sacrifice or her personal life.
 
Her story comes when she went to buy a cup of coffee and got thinking that this might be something that she could do. After all, she was always travelling and speaking to clients and is hardworking. Why not work for herself.

Opportunity to attend 'Writing Workshop' - 20th and 22th September
Some of you may have participated in the Writing Workshops that were held last year with journalist Jeanette Leigh. Well Jeanette has very kindly agreed to run them again.
 
And those who did not attend I can vouch for its value! I joined the session on the 9th and learnt so much about what not to write and some Rotarian writing styles and meeting other Rotarians. Be quick, first in best dressed. Spots still available, see below.
 
We have two more dates to choose from and both will start at 5:30pm via Zoom and go for two hours:
