About Our Club's Territory  

Being surrounded by national parks, Engadine has within its territory , some of the most spectular coast line and bush land in this state . As you enter the district from either the north, south or west , you soon become aware of  the surrounding National Parks and the rugged nature of the countryside  . The Royal National Park is  Australia's First dedicated national park and the world's second. In the Heathcote National park, the ridges and drier slopes are covered in forest dominated by angophoras and eucalypts such as bloodwood, greygum, Sydney peppermint, and scribbly gum. Following the upper reaches of the Woronora River leads to the Woronora Dam and reservoir which form part of Sydney's water supply  
The photos below are some of those scenes.

        CLUB SYMBOL
    

            

From 1973 to 1997, our Club symbol was a diagram of an atom highlighting the Club's early association with the then Atomic Energy Commission. During our 25th year the Club resolved to change its symbol to the lyre bird which can still be found in the deep surrounding gullies of the  suburb

                        President's Review

We are now well into the 2009-10 Rotary Year and I'm enjoying leading the Rotary Club of Engadine; a very dynamic service club.

Already this year we have held our first ball and are rehabilitating a disused building into a canteen for use by disabled adults.[Click for more].

In conjunction with a number of District 9750 Clubs, Engadine has assisted with funding to obtain a Matching Grant from the Rotary Foundation to provide water tanks to villages in the Oro Province of PNG. These villages were devastated by Cyclone Guba in Nov 2007  and  formed phase one of a three phase project . The planning for Phase two is in hand , with more to go.

Masquerade Ball Success 

 The Inaugural  Masquerade Ball held on the 20th July last  to raise funds for the Sylvanvale trust has been highly successful. Funds raised will be directed towards the reburbishment of an assembly hall at the Trust's recently established Catering operations in one of the Boys Town buildings. Well done to the combined Lions and Rotary clubs organising committee.To see more click

 
 

Our club has a strong local focus including associations with Loftus TAFE, the Sutherland Early Support Service which helps struggling new mothers and U Turn the Wheel, an initiative school students approaching driving age.[click to see more]. And we continue to support a number of local community and youth groups. Our youth programs are many and extensive [  Refer to our Youth Programs section ]

Engadine Rotary has recently made an application for funds under the State Government's " Community Building Partnerships" to be able to provide a permanent outdoor performance stage in Cooper Street park.  Subject to DA approval , this stage will eliminate the need to erect  and dismantle  temporary stages for all those outdoor concerts and events that are held in the park each year by the various organisations. 

Our latest event, the initiative of our International Services Director, has been a most successful Korean Night at our club, where we had the opportunity to learn something of Korean culture and meet some very interesting Korean guests.

For Young adults, our club has introduced a Young Rotarians membership open to those younger members of the Community who are time conscious[ click to see more ]. This, is indeed a vibrant club representing a wide cross section of our Community .  

 We welcome guest at all of our meetings and hope to see you here ;  see meeting details opposite.

 

Carols for the people is coming soon 

The 2009 Carols for the People - weather permitting - will be held on Friday 11 December at Cooper Street park - Our usual  food & drink facilities will be available -with a great line up of entertainment .  So make up a family party and come along and enjoy another great Carols Concert- watch this space for more details .[Click to the main Page]
