Acknowledgement of Country
In the spirit of reconciliation, the Rotary E-Club of Brindabella acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We respect Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Let me share a bit about our club:
Our club knows no borders—we welcome visitors and members from all around the world. Plus, we're cost-effective—no dinner fees!
We use online meetings to plan and conduct our service projects and fundraising events, making it easy for everyone to participate. To strengthen our bonds and network, we hold three or four in-person social events each year.
Our eClub is designed for the 21st century, fitting seamlessly into busy families and lifestyles.
Have you considered volunteering with Rotary? We'd love to meet you and involve you in our humanitarian efforts, helping communities locally, nationally, and internationally.
Check out some of the amazing projects the Rotary E-Club of Brindabella has been working on below.
Three years of work and partnership comes to fruition at Moss Vale Public School as a new peace garden featuring a Rotary Peace Pole, a reflective area, outdoor instruments is unveiled. Our club contributed over $7000 to this project with other large contributions from the Rotary Club of Moss Vale and the Rotary Club of Bowral-Mittagong.

Following the recent devastating floods in outback Queensland, we are pleased to be in a position to donate $1000 to the Rotary District 9560 Disaster Fund to support Rotary's response. It is thanks to all club members and supporters that we are able to make donations like this in times of need. Individuals who wish to support the appeal should do so through a donation to Rotary International's disaster response fund, which is tax deductible in Australia. https://my.rotary.org/en/donate
