'Humanity in Action'

Posted by Sam McCurdy

The book ‘HUMANITY IN ACTION: Celebrating 100 years of Rotary clubs in Australia and island neighbours’ - is now available.

This is not any old history book. This is a fascinating collection of historical origins, reaching out, adventures in service, identifying need, achievement and fun!

Posterity demands a brief overview of Rotary’s beginnings in Australia and such coverage is included in some detail covering the formation of the Rotary Clubs of Melbourne and Sydney.

The book has over 500 pages covering Rotary achievements through the various eras, dozens of pages of club, district and personal data - along with an amazing gallery of dated and modern images.

'Humanity in Action' costs $25 (plus postage of $10, which will vary for multiple book orders).

For individual orders:

Contact: PDG Harry Durey,
