Renee Offner - Rotaract Distict 9680


Our club has not had the benefit of interaction with a Rotaract Club for several years, so it was most interesting to hear Renee Offner present the current situation in our District 9680 and to tell us something of her life journey and her involvement with Rotaract. Renee, with the assistance of her friend, Jeremy Charles is attempting to form a new club on the Northern Beaches.

Are you between 18 and 25? Interested in making a difference in your community? Want to gain experience and to build new networks? Rotaract might be what you are looking for. If you're interested in joining or would like further information contact us.

We're looking forward to the emergence of an active and vibrant Rotaract movement on the Northen Beaches in the very near future! Don't miss out!

Cyber-fines: we're watching!


Our "interupted" dinner service is proving a challenge for our sergeant-in-arms to gather intelligence for the weekly fines. So it might be time for some collaboration. Don't let those fines go unnoticed! post them here.








A BBQ just isnt a BBQ without Bob the Builder and he sure does help sell those christmas raffle tickets. Way to go BTB! and Frank too.
Be sure to check out Santa's little helpers on our home page.
