Vocational Visit

In March and April 2015 Rotary Club of Toowoomba Rotarians and friends enjoyed Vocational Visits to Sleepless City Roasters and JW Joiners. Members and guests were escorted on a tour of the businesses by their owners followed by a shared dinner.

Catering Trailer

In June 2015 our Club took delivery of a new catering trailer with the help of a grant from Queensland community gambling fund and donations and sponsorship from members and local businesses.

Please contact the Club if you would like our trailer to cater at your upcoming community or charity event.

Youth

Congratulations to the Interactors from The Glennie School who won "The Great Debate" on Monday 28 May 2018. Our Rotary team of David H, Monica and David S put up a strong challenge, losing by only 1 point. The trophy is now in the possession of The Glennie School after being ours for two years.

Our Club sponsored three students, Zoe Hulme-Peake, Sarah Lindley and Amanda Taylor, to the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF), two week camp in Canberra in January 2018. One of our members and his wife also attended NYSF in 2016 as "Uncle and Aunt" to the students. On 13 February 2017 we welcomed back to our Club Laura Hjortshoj-Haller, our Rotary Youth Exchange Student, who spent 12 months in Switzerland.

Dimity Lynch and Elana Wilson were sponsored by our Club to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards in early July 2015.

Our Club mentors Interact students at two Toowoomba schools – Fairholme College and The Glennie School, and in 2016-2017 our Club hosted a Youth Exchange Program student from Denmark.
