  • Richmond Rotary traffic management for social events, involvement with the community piano, assist with St Johns and much more.......
  • Richmond Rotary currently manages the February Top Of The South Car Show, and the November Nelson Motorhome & Caravan Show

Why should I get involved:

It is one way an individual’s efforts can be combined with the work of many others and therefore make a much bigger difference.

Rotary International

  • Rotary is thoughtfulness & Helpfulness to others. Rotary is the experience of people of different faiths, opinions and nationalities growing in fellowship, wherever they may be. Thoughtfulness and helpfulness together constitute the Rotary ideal of service.
  • A lot of Rotary international work is carried out through the Rotary Foundation, which coordinates projects to improve people’s health and environment, strengthen local economies and train future peacemakers.
  • Rotary works with UNESCO, the World Health Organization and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to vaccinate children against polio. After nearly 30 years of effort, polio is almost eliminated worldwide. Rotary also funds peace scholarships, clean water, disaster relief and sanitation projects and provide leadership training in just about every country in the world
