The Rotary Club of Hawthorn brings together friends, good food, shared beliefs, respect for others and a desire to give back to the community, with interesting weekly speakers and presenters. We turn conversations into action. It's life changing, exciting, fun and challenging. It's knowing that you are really making a difference to the lives of those less fortunate. Men and women of any age from a broad range of backgrounds, including those in the workforce and retirees. One of Rotary's great strengths is that it represents a cross-section of the community's vocational life. You can make a difference by: *Connecting with community - we participate in local, national and international projects. *Developing Friendships - a strong sense of camaraderie develops through our club activities, fundraising and social events. *Networking - everyone needs to network. Each club has a membership drawn from all walks of life. Rotarians support each other as well as helping those is need.
