What is the Rotary Club?
The Rotary Club is a group of professionals that collaborate to deliver Service to the community – locally, nationally and overseas. Each Rotary Club Member contributing available time, resources, and/or knowledge to enable Projects that benefit the community in a multitude of ways. Rotarians support projects that interest them and/or their Rotary Club; and the Service Projects that are supported often vary in the different Rotary Clubs.
The Rotary Club of Bondi Junction is an active and growing Rotary Club (Chartered in 1939), as the Rotary Club Membership fill-in from Professionals that want to give back to the community. The more members we have, the more we can achieve as a Club. Have you ever thought about joining the Rotary Club Membership? Please feel welcome to Contact Us to find out more.
Here are a few reasons why others have joined one of the 32,000 Rotary Clubs in over 190 countries:
professional networking – personal growth– friendships
good citizenship in practice – world understanding
family foundations – ethical environment – entertainment

The Rotary Club of Bondi Junction has been a long-standing supporter of the excellent program that the Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club delivers to the Community and Australian sport. It delivers major developmental benefits to children (boys and girls) by nurturing and developing their physical, mental and team-work capabilities through the sport of cricket to achieve their maximum potential in a supportive and healthy environment; and through the Rotary Club of Bondi Junction’s donations many more youth are able to be part of Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club than would be the case.

The Australian Friends of Chile International Humanitarian Project - electric hospital beds to Chile
R
otary Club of Bondi Junction invites Rotarian and good citizens (personal and corporate) in the community to support this project; just let us know how you can help. Some ideas include: provide some funds so we can send another container, we have the beds. For $10,000 we can send over $300,000 worth of hospital beds to hospitals that desperately need them. The benefits, above all, include the humanitarian needs for these excellent hospital beds; saving the beds from going to scrap metal yard and melted down; the environmental aspect where a great deal of CO2 wiould not be smoke-stacked into the atmosphere by the foundry and then there is the economic aspect where a 3000% gain is experienced by every dollar invested.

We commend their efforts
Here's an example of wonderful work being done by Special Ed teachers in our community; and it was a pleasure to host Jenny and Kathy's visit to our Club Meeting (Tuesday 24th May 2011). Their introduction email says it best, and we were delighted to support the needs of this school.
Jenny Zagas: I am the head teacher of the special unit at Gardeners Rd. Public School. We have four special classes for children with severe, moderate and mild intellectual disabilities. Overall we have 43 students. We have a number of projects that we are fundraising for to support the students learning. The first is a sensory garden and the second is purchasing Ipads for non-verbal students to use as a communication system.
Keep up the great work Jenny, Kathy.
Please note: the above photo was taken that in May 2011; as of 1st July 2011 Stu became Club President & Russell became Past President.
In support of the vital work of the Royal Hospital for Women's Newborn Intensive Care Unit
At the begining of this Rotary Year (2010-11) we conducted a needs analysis among several hospitals, and we found that the Royal Hospital for Women in Randwick (NSW) has a need that we really wanted to support. They have a need of a Neo Natal Ventilator that is vital for the survival of the tiny patients (babies); this medical equipment helps the babies to breathe which speaks for itself as to the importance of this equipment in saving lives the Newborn Intensive Care Unit.
We know that this will save lives and we thank all of the generous supporters in the community that have supported this community project and those community members that will support us as this project continues its fundraising campaign..
