The Rotary Club of Greater Dandenong and Endeavour Hills celebrated an extraordinary milestone— 90 years of Rotary in Dandenong.
The Rotary Club of Greater Dandenong and Endeavour Hills celebrated an extraordinary milestone— 90 years of Rotary in Dandenong.
The centenary-style celebration, held at the Dandenong Club, brought together Rotarians, councillors, families, and friends for an evening filled with history, fellowship, and pride in decades of community service.
Club President John Ternel described the occasion as “truly inspiring — a proud moment that captures the very essence of Rotary’s motto, Service Above Self.” His remarks echoed the enduring spirit of Rotary, honouring those who have served the community across generations.
Guests reflected on the club’s formation in 1935, when Rotary’s Founder and President Emeritus Paul Harris personally attended its very first meeting — a historic moment that continues to inspire Rotarians today.

His dedication continues to strengthen the program and empower young people to build resilience, confidence and a positive future.
🚸RYDA Road Safety – Thank You Alan and Hans
A big thank you to Alan and Hans who for supporting the RYDA Road Safety program. They helped with the morning setup, were each allocated a colour-coded student group, and spent the day guiding them through six engaging presentations — acting as timekeepers and supporting presenters as needed. It’s not a difficult job, and the warm lunch provided was a bonus!
Thank you both for contributing to this important youth initiative.
