Swan Rotary have been working on establishing a vegetable garden to support our local community!
We currently have 3 small garden beds fitted with irrigation, which have been supplying a hearty harvest of vegetables. In the near future, we will be installing irrigation in our 3 larger garden beds which will hopefully increase our harvest and help us better support our community!
All produce that is harvested will be donated to Dreambuilders Care - which is a local low cost supermarket dedicated to supporting the community in practical ways!

Myth Busters

SWAN ROTARY
Make a difference with Rotary.
Rotary Clubs are where neighbours, friends, and problem solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change. These are vibrant and respected clubs working for the good of local, national, and international communities. Discussions include community needs and how members can help, catch up with friends and make new ones and connect with leaders from all over the world.
Rotary Clubs bring together like-minded people to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world.
ROTARY MYTH BUSTER
ROTARY IS FOR MEN
WRONG! Rotary has welcomed women for over 30 years.
ITโ€™S FOR RETIRED PEOPLE
WRONG! We are open to ages 18+: age is just a number, itโ€™s attitude that is important.
ITโ€™S FOR PROFESSIONALS
WRONG! Diversity is our strong asset and thereโ€™s always a place for you in Rotary.
YOU MUST ATTEND EACH WEEK
WRONG! We focus on what you can contribute. Get involved with fund raising activities, community projects and activities.
ITโ€™S A RELIGIOUS ORGANISATION / SECRET SOCIETY
WRONG! Rotary is non-religious and non-political.
YOU HAVE TO BE FORMALLY DRESSED FOR MEETINGS
WRONG! We are interested in what you can offer, not how you dress.                                          
ITโ€™S A LUNCH AND DINNER CLUB
WRONG! We do have meals at most meetings; however, we principally meet to plan projects, have guest speakers, socials and run projects.
MEMBERSHIP BY INVITATION ONLY
WRONG! Anyone with the right mindset can visit and join. We welcome members from all walks of life.
INTERESTED IN BIG INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS ONLY
WRONG!  We are involved in these huge projects; however the majority of our work is within local communities supporting local causes.

Helping people with disabilities make their own music

Music has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school.
 
After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school.

Saving lives in Ghana

What is it like taking a large team to Africa?  It has probably been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. In mid February, I began leading Rotary members from all over the East Coast of the United States through Ghana. I’ve tried to give the team a warm Ghanaian welcome like I’ve received on my earlier trips. A large trip is a real blessing because each person sees Ghana and our work in a different way.

A highlight for the team was greeting the chief of Sagadugu. The team got excited about buying goats and food for children in the villages where I support eight churches. It was good to see the pastors of most of the eight churches, and I had to explain that we were just passing through on our way to Bolgatanga.
