Some Highlights of previous projects


The Rotary Club of Mooloolaba was chartered on the 26th March 1973.            
Charter President was Vic Honour
.
During his term with this Club, Vic served as District Governor in 1976-77

District Governor (1973/74) Glen Kinross presented the charter on Saturday 28th July 1973 at a function held at the Surfair International.
Initially, the club met at the Mark Anthony Motel, later moving to the Headland Golf Club before again moving to the  location at the Mooloolaba Yacht Club at Parkyn Parade, Mooloolaba.
The Club then moved to the current location at The Headland Golf Club in Buderim.

Currently our club has around 52 members. We are always looking to expand our membership and recruit suitable new Rotarians. We welcome lady members to our membership ranks.

The club is known internationally as "The Friendly Club" as we regularly welcome many visitors from around the world to our Monday meetings.
