About Parkwood Rotary Board 2024/25
(under construction please be patient.)
It is said 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.
President
Kate Bentley
​It is a privilege and an honour to serve as the President of The Rotary Club of Parkwood for the 2025-26 Rotary Calendar Year. I have been a proud and active member of the fabulous Rotary Club of Parkwood since 2022. As a Rotarian, I have enjoyed great fellowship and made many remarkable friends. I joined at a time when I wanted to become more active in my local community. I have taken part in many worthwhile projects and have experienced the fulfillment that comes from giving back to community- locally, nationally and internationally. Activities are so diverse and all of them are for improving the world in which we live. A tall ask, but as a smaller club, we have made some significant contributions. As Club President I am very excited to have the opportunity to contribute to our club’s ongoing success, foster stronger community connections, and prepare for the exciting journey ahead. Our collective efforts lead to impactful community service initiatives and successful fundraising events, further strengthening our presence and purpose. The unwavering commitment of our Club’s Members is the driving force behind our success, and I deeply appreciate the collaboration, guidance, and friendship shared within our club. Together, we uphold Rotary’s values and work towards meaningful change as we “Unite for Good”. I look forward to leading our club in another year of service, camaraderie, positive impact.
and FUN!

Youth

I joined Rotary because I wanted to be part of a community that’s all about making a positive difference both locally and around the world. What really drew me in was Rotary’s focus on service, leadership, and building friendships—things that really match my own values and passion for helping others. Joining gave me the chance to use my skills and time on projects that really matter, while also connecting with people who share the same mindset. Plus, becoming a Rotarian enables me to honour the legacy of my mother, who was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for her Charity work.
Vocational & Community Service
Karen Morton
When, I joined Rotary, It was a driven by the simple desire: to give back to the community through volunteering and fundraising for both local and international causes. The opportunity to create meaning change made me realise I was stepping into something much bigger than myself. What I discovered was a club full of passionate individuals, each dedicated to service, community and integrity, together we strive to make a difference in the local community and on a global scale. Being part of Rotary has deepened my understanding of the power of collective effort, and it continues to inspire me every day to contribute my time and skills towards helping others.
