Welcome to the Rotary Club of Greater Geelong
Two very successful Geelong Rotary Clubs have merged together to form the new Rotary Club of Greater Geelong to ensure Rotary's continued leadership and support to communities in Geelong and worldwide.
The Rotary Club of Geelong and the Rotary Club of Corio Bay have an outstanding history of 'Service Above Self' for a combined 160 plus years.
Rotary in Geelong will celebrate 100 years in Geelong next October. To be part of the celebration and to enjoy fellowship while giving back through community service, please consider becoming a Rotarian. Rotary service is carried out by developing Members who meet and enjoy the company and friendship of other Rotary Members.
