Wynnum and Manly Santa refurbishment project has been in full swing!  The Santas displayed on local businesses have been an iconic part of Christmas in the Bayside area for over 40 years.   Our club has been proud to run this project for 28 of those years. In 2024, club members have been working hard, just like Santa's elves replacing old Santas and our new ones are ready to go!  Thank you to Bunnings Manly West, Taubmans, Wynnum Manly and Districts Men's Shed for their generous sponsorship of this year's refurbishment project. 
 
If you are interested in purchasing one of our Santas to display in your home or business, please contact Bill Simpson to find out more. 
 
The Foundation Dinner 2024 was a huge success with over $6000 raised for Rotary's Polio Plus campaign.  Almost 100 guests enjoyed the evening, including Members from several Rotary clubs, Past District Governor Paul Roger and partners and friends of the club.  We had the honour of awarding 2 Paul Harris Fellowships to Marilyne Jacob (Co-ordinator of Pete’s Pantry) and Senior Sergeant Chris Hebblethwaite (South Brisbane District Crime Prevention Unit), for their outstanding work in our Bayside community.  The auction conducted by Geoffrey Lyons, proved both an entertaining and successful fundraising event.  Click to read more... 
 Join us for an evening of fun and philanthropy in support of the Rotary Foundation's Polio Plus campaign!
 
  After there only being 3 cases of polio in the world last year, it is really disturbing to see a re-emergence of polio in Gaza this year.
Without ongoing vaccination worldwide, polio could become a threat to us all within a decade. Last year, our club donated over $1500 to the  Rotary Foundation. 
 
Thank you for your support. We are fully booked for this year's event.
