Serving the Mt Gambier community for 35 years

Lakes Rotary Club celebrates significant milestone

It’s been a long and bumpy journey, but Lakes Rotary recently celebrated its 35th birthday with a dinner meeting at The Commodore.

There have been many changes over the years and many things Rotary clubs were able to do previously in our community are just not possible anymore due to regulations and insurance limitations. Some things have remained constant though and that is a sense of community spirit from club members and the ability to do good things locally and afar. The club is extremely proud of the fact that four of their members have been there from the start.

Lakes Rotary is only one area of volunteering for many of the club members, most are involved in multiple volunteering activities outside of Rotary also. Current member Dr John Kellas was guest speaker on the night speaking about his recent two week visit to Cambodia volunteering building housing in under-developed villages.

Lifestyle1 will be profiling the 35 year history of the club in an upcoming issue.
