In 2020, Rotary Club of Woy Woy is proud to celebrate 70 years of service to our local community and to humanitarian projects across the nation and across the globe.
The Club chartered on 7 June 1950 and is the third oldest Rotary club on the Central Coast. In the early days we focused our activities on support to destitute families and community development projects such as the Girl Guides Hall, Staples Lookout, and our two Surf Clubs. We contributed to the building of the Olympic Pool, Mount Ettalong Lookout, Koolewong Foreshore Reserve and Anderson Memorial Park.
Our club’s first President Bruce Hank was a service station owner. Other members came from occupations reflective of our community at that time including a cordial manufacturer, radio technician, sash and joinery manufacturer, haberdasher and wood and coal merchant. In 1993 our club inducted its first female member, Susan Baldock, who became President in 1997-98.
Today, ROTARY CLUB OF WOY WOY supports local service providers, community groups and schools. We support the work of Rotary International, Rotary Foundation, and Rotary Australia World Community Service which assists communities in need across Australia and in developing countries. Our club puts back into the community not only money, but recognition of achievement through Pride of Workmanship Awards and sponsorship of training and leadership programs for our local youth.
