ROTARY CLUB OF CANBERRA BURLEY GRIFFIN

The Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin (RCCBG) instigated the fundraising and creation of this bell.

The RCCBG was chartered on 10 March 1987 when twenty five businessmen who had common interests in the ideals of Rotary, joined to form a luncheon club. Without any history or cultural restraints, the Club ambitiously developed programmes which were new to Rotary and was the first Club in Canberra to introduce women members. Since then we have been honoured to include Edna Barolits, our first indigenous member and who served as secretary in the early nineties.

Some of the projects which were enthusiastically committed to by the RCCBG in those early years, included PolioPlus, Life Education; the development of twinning agreements, particularly with the Rotary Club of Nara, Japan, and extensive international programs, particularly in times of natural disaster. We were the first Canberra club to assist villagers in Sri Lanka after the tsunami with new fishing boats.

We welcome newcomers and visitors to Canberra, and hope that you will join us for lunch to share our enjoyment of Rotary.
