Read the full storyThe Rotary Club of Hinchinbrook, which formed from the amalgamation of the Ingham and Herbert River clubs, continues to give back to the Hinchinbrook Community.
Rotary's primary motto is "Service Above Self" and its secondary motto is "One profits most who serves best".
The purpose of Rotary International is to improve lives and communities around the world through humanitarian service, promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water and encouraging high ethical standards.
Rotary members are expected to be active in promoting the dignity of all people and respect for human rights.
Rotary is a non-political and non-religious organisation that values diversity and is open to all people. The organisation's guiding principles include:
• Developing friendships as an opportunity for service
• The Four-Way Test: Is it the truth? Is it fair? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial?
The local Rotary club has been involved with community projects that include a large Battery Drive that has helped benefit a local support organisation and support for charities such as Meals on Wheels and young local people who have taken further steps in academic, arts and sports fields.
Members can be seen assisting at events such as Maraka, ANZAC Day, Hinchinbrook Art Awards and Christmas Carols.
A couple of the big money raising charities that funds are raised for include the Rotary Foundation (that in-turn supports less fortunate people around the world) and also Polio Plus.
Every $1 that Rotary donates towards Polio Plus the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation donates $2.
Sir Clem Renouf, Rotary International President 1978 – 1979 was actually born in Ingham. He helped propel Rotary toward its top goal of eradicating polio worldwide.
