Welcome to Rotary Club of Sutherland
Do you want to make positive changes in your community and the world? Our club members are dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship. Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group who share your drive to give back.
Rotary Club of Sutherland invites you to listen to one woman’s inspiring story.
Gemma Sisia is an Australian, originally from Armidale, who visited Tanzania and saw children drifting through life without an education. In her light bulb moment, she visualised a school where there was none, and made this ambitious decision “ I’m going to build a school !”
And build The School of St. Jude she did! From one small building 24 years ago, the campus now comprises 3 Schools with 350 staff members. 1,800 students receiving free education, with 1,500 students boarding.
Gemma will be accompanied by alumnus Faith Samwel who will also speak, and Johnson who will assist on the night.
🚗💥 Sutherland Rotary is turning the car park into a treasure hunt! We’re hosting a Car Boot Sale to raise funds for our local community, and we're welcoming anyone who wants to be a seller to come and help us give back.
If you've been planning a garage sale, or have a bunch of soon-to-be-someone-else's treasure you wanted to put up on eBay, save yourself the effort and jump on board our event!
Prices:
$55 for two allocated car spaces
$100 for three allocated car spaces
Good news! Rotary will cover half of your day insurance fee ($20 cash) on the day with proof of purchase.
