The main objective of our Club is Service – in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.

Rotary’s Five Avenues of Service guide the work of every Rotary Club.

Club Service involves action a member should take within the club to help it function successfully.

Vocational Service promotes high ethical standards in businesses and professions, recognises the worthiness of all dignified occupations, and fosters the ideal of service in the pursuit of all vocations. The role of members includes conducting themselves and their businesses in accordance with Rotary’s principles.

Community Service comprises varied efforts that members make, sometimes in conjunction with others, to improve the quality of life of those who live within the club’s locality or municipality.

International Service is comprised of activities that members do to advance international understanding, goodwill, and peace by fostering acquaintance with people of other countries, their cultures, customs, accomplishments, aspirations, and problems, through reading and correspondence and through cooperation in all club activities and projects designed to help people in other lands.

Youth Service recognises the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, involvement in community and international service projects, and exchange programs that enrich and foster world peace and cultural understanding.

The Rotary Club of Toowoomba meets each Monday Night from 6:00pm at the Bourke & Wills Hotel. Come join us.

    OUR PROUD HISTORY

    The Rotary Club of Toowoomba is Toowoomba’s oldest Rotary Club. The Club was Chartered on 6 October 1930 and was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Brisbane. It was the eighth club to be chartered in Queensland.

    As the region’s oldest club, we in turn sponsored the formation of the Rotary Club of Toowoomba City, the Rotary Club of Toowoomba Garden City, the Rotary Club of Toowoomba South, the Rotary Club of Ipswich, the Rotary Club of Gatton & Lockyer and the Rotary Club of Dalby.

    In 1986 the Rotary Club of Toowoomba established a sister Club relationship with the Rotary Club of Mitsukaido (Japan) in District 2820. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s the Rotary Club of Toowoomba also had a Charter of Association with the Tsuruga Rotary Club in Japan.

    The Rotary Club of Toowoomba celebrated its 90th Anniversary in 2020.
