Home Page | Rotary Club of Applecross

If you give people the opportunity they can achieve outstanding things.

It's this simple philosophy that inspires a lot of the work Applecross Rotary does, locally and further afield.

Our members come from all walks of life - we're engineers, lawyers, marketeers, scientists, educators, farmers and retailers, the list goes on - and we range in age from our early 20s through to mid 80s. The commonality we share is an interest in using our time, skills and energy to improve the lives of others . And we like to have fun while we do it!

Our projects are equally varied. From our much-loved Rotary Jacaranda Festival, the Pride of Workmanship Awards, a local Art Show and Sale, numerous youth initiatives as well as supporting indigenous, mental health and women's refuge projects and delivering major health and water based projects that will save lives.... we're an ambitious club with the power to get things done.

Applecross Rotary meets weekly but we've embraced a more flexible approach to membership.

We usually meet on Tuesday mornings at 7am for a 7.30am start, at the Dome Café, Deep Water Point, Mt Pleasant. However, due to COVID19 restrictions we are now meeting via ZOOM every Tuesday at 7:30am.

The meeting format with a guest speaker is similar to our face to face meetings. If you would like to join us send a request to ray@applecrossrotary.org and we will send you a meeting invitation.

We love to welcome visitors so feel free to get in touch and arrange to come along to one of our meetings or regular social events to try us on for size. If you're interested in finding our more about becoming a member please drop us a line.
