About Us

President Julie Hartley

Narooma Rotary is a dynamic club with People of Action.

It is a not-for-profit incorporated community association.

We’re engaged in Rotary programmes and activities that make a difference locally, nationally and globally. Through Rotary, we can change lives. The extraordinary success of our End Polio Now campaign shows what can be achieved when people work together.

We are members of an international family of 1.2 Million Rotarians, each of whom is guided by the Rotary Four Way Test.

The Rotary Four Way Test plus 1

Of the things we think, say and do:

  1. Is it the TRUTH?
  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER RELATIONSHIPS?
  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? 
  5. Will it be BENEFICIAL to the environment?

Below is a four minute video by Rotary International that explains a lot about our organisation.
