Our club will join with the Rotary Club of Kippa-Ring North Lakes on Sunday 15 November to conduct the annual Lift the Lid Walk for Mental Health at North Lakes. We encourage all people who care about mental health, or would just like to get out for a walk around the lake to join us on Sunday. Australian Rotary Health supports research into mental health, and will be the beneficiary of the day's proceeds. For more information and to register for the event, please see this Event page.
A campaign for the charity Share the Dignity

Pine Rivers Rotary - purpose of the project: Pine Rivers Rotary participates in the #itsintheBag charity drive to put together personal packs for the campaign and encourages others to do the same.
