It is said that there is a Rotary meeting being held someplace in the world every hour of every day. If you attended one meeting per day, it would take nearly 80 years to visit all of the more than 34,500 Rotary clubs in the world, and by that time, no doubt, there would be thousands more new clubs to attend.
A Rotary year runs from July to June.
The 2023/4 Board

I joined Parkwood Rotary in 2000 following in the footsteps of my late father, a committed member of Ipswich club. Since then I have served on around 20 boards including secretary X 3 treasurer x 3 and president x 2. To me, Rotary is not just about being able to “give back”. It is having the satisfaction of working with friends and colleagues to achieve so much at a community level and actually make a difference on a global scale.
Secretary - Ro Linton

I have been in Rotary six years and value the chance to make friends and work for the betterment of our local and wider world community. I am especially proud to be taking on the role of President next year.
