As part of Rotary International, District 9510 represents more than local Rotary and Rotaract Clubs. Our landmass covers much of South Australia, extends into the Northern Territory and covers western areas of New South Wales and Victoria.
There are 20 Districts across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific region. Together they form what as known as 'Rotary Zone 8', comprising 1,000+ Rotary Clubs and about 33,000 individual Rotary members.
Internationally, Rotary is a passionate organisation with more than 1.3 million men and women who volunteer their time to give back to their communities. There are 33,000+ clubs worldwide, across 200+ countries ... Rotary is one big family.
Business people form a significant part of our membership, who also benefit from Rotary's Vocational focus to cross promote and support each other (it's how Rotary started over 100 years ago - building trade between businesses while doing good works!)
Rotary is a very social organisation. Camaraderie is high among members. Most clubs meet weekly or fortnightly at differing times. Membership comprises men and women from business and professional groups; retirees; and young people with a passion to get involved to support their community.
Corporate Memberships are a popular and a modern way for Businesses and Organisations to support their communities, with employees of these organisations representing their businesses as as much as becoming individual Rotarians in their own right.
Each club chooses to run local projects in their region, plus they support Rotary International's work, such as the End Polio Now program that has the ambition of wiping Polio from the face of the planet.
Rotarians (and/or their children) also have the opportunity to participate in overseas exchange programs. There are youth training and mentoring programs, overseas humanitarian aid projects and so much more.
Rotary Says NO to Domestic Violence
Our 2023/24 Rotary Year welcomed our D9510 District Governor Craig Dowling to the helm. Craig is a member of the Rotary Club of Loxton in the South Australian Riverland. He brings to Rotary an enormous amount of leadership passion to support the work of all the Clubs.
Part of Craig's personal passion was to support this Rotary Zone 8 determination to Say NO to Domestic Violence. Back in 2018, the campaign began in the Australia's Eastern states. South Australia is now respected as a major contributor to spreading this message locally.
Rotary welcomes YOU to join us in sharing this determination. And Thanks You for your personal support of our District and Clubs' passion to help improve the lives of people in our local community.
