About Rotary

The MISSION of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
About Our Club Philosophy
To have fun as we support and encourage each other
and find meaningful ways to 'give back'
to our community and beyond
- To build and nurture a club of energised, engaged and valued members of all ages who enjoy fellowship, networking and serving the community together.
- To be actively involved in projects that improve lives of people within our community in a way that will reflect the values and ideals of Rotary
- To demonstrate ‘Service above Self’ by supporting the Rotary Foundation and it project’s both locally and internationally
- Maintain an active diverse club which is growing in membership and developing the skills and confidence of its members
Club History
The Tailem Bend Rotary Club was chartered in 1960 and was founded by the Murray Bridge Club who were tossing up whether to start a Club in Mannum instead. Fortunately for us, they chose wisely and our club has given over 50 years of service to the Community both locally and internationally.
