About Rotary Adelaide Central
About 3 dozen women and men aged from their 30s and above make up our membership. We have opened up membership applications again, looking for vibrant people to join our Club to participate in and enjoy our varied activities.
We hope that you will visit us one day soon to meet our team and get a feel for the Local and International network of Rotary and the fun nature of our Club.
Rotary Adelaide Central (incorporated) is a Not-for-Profit, non-government organisation, run entirely by volunteers passionate about helping people less fortunate than ourselves.
We assist our local and global communities, with Club members sharing their knowledge and experience to run a range of worthy projects to better our world! Plus, we enjoy each others fellowship when we meet.
