presented the charter on Saturday 28th July 1973 at a function held

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.
1998 saw us welcome our first inward exchange student

experience. Since then we have received an inbound student and sent
out an out bound student every year
