Learning about the C-Bag.Christopher Lewis
The Rotary Club of Albury is a proud club. Proud of the way we have served the local and international community for 93 years. Proud of the way we collaboratively go about our work. Proud of the way we continue to adapt and change with the times.
We meet the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month on-site and on any 5th Mondays we undertake vocational visits within our community, supporting members, local businesses and charity groups.
Our members continually put others before themselves, ringing true our motto of ‘Service Above Self’.
We are well-known in the Albury-Wodonga region for our professionalism, however we also share a great sense of fun. Our social banter and special events including Melbourne Cup Eve, bus trips and Hat Days bring out our creative and colourful best!
Our club is inclusive. We value the contribution of members, male and female, older and younger, from various occupations and walks of life, and respectfully acknowledge our indigenous ancestors who came before us in fellowship.
We welcomed 11 new members in the last Rotary year, the best in our District.
Thinking of becoming a member of an award-winning, spirited and committed team? Why not give us a call or pay us a visit?

Awarding a Paul Harris Fallow upon Jim Crawford. Another Rotarian who does amazing things. Congratulations Jim.https://www.rotary.org/en/
Melissa Munz from Days for Girls in Albury attended our zoom meeting and told us about the good work that they do.
All over the world girls and women suffer isolation, indignity, shame, risk infection, lost opportunity and are even put at risk of exploitation
due to a lack of access to affordable, dependable feminine hygiene.
A Days for Girls Hygiene kit changes that.
Ant Packer from Parklands Albury Wodonga gave us a wonderful presentation last night. It was surprising how much they have achieved and how many projects and objectives they have. Thanks again Ant.
It was wonderful to induct a returning Rotarian Peter Fraunfelder. You have already achieved so much we look forward to future projects with you.
ROTARY SUPPORT FOR CYCLING PROGRAM: Mr Geoff Emerson from the Rotary Club of Albury presented a $5000 cheque today on assembly. The money was raised from Rotary's participation in "Circus Quirkus", and will assist our learning support program based on cycling at the school.
The program started in our multi-cat class and now has developed to be a school sports program on Wednesday. The program has assisted students to make greater connections throughout the school and raise awareness of this cycling for wellbeing.

This is me with my first host family ( My host mum Louise, My host dad Steen and my little host brother Christian) at the airport on the day i arrived in Denmark. On my first day here i meet all my host families and had a very beautiful breakfast.
I live in a small city about 15 minutes away from Aalborg and I visit Aalborg almost every day as I attend school there and I like to visit friends and other exchange students in the city.
I have been shown around Aalborg and I have fallen in love with all the beautiful and cute streets and houses. I have visited many beautiful places and cant wait to visit many more. I started school at Aalborg Katedralskole. It is a very hippie like school , I was placed in an A level math and Biotechnology class which can be challenging but there are some very amazing and friendly people.
Everyone was so welcoming and I have made some amazing friends. I attend Danish Lessons 2x a week for 2 hours with other exchange students. Danish is a very difficult language to learn and understand but I am sure I will get the hang of it soon. I am loving my stay so far in Denmark!!!!
At our meeting, Caitlin Olsson and Owen Dunlop came and spoke to us about Sisters Who Shine. Which is a great initiative to inspire girls to learn and achieve. We also learned about Wirraminna in Burrumbottock.
