✨ Guest Speaker Spotlight: Liz McKeon – Endeavour Industries✨

Last week we welcomed Liz McKeon for an insightful overview of Industries Goulburn, a local organisation creating meaningful employment for people with special needs for more than 50 years. With 38 supported employees and 22 staff, they operate across five business arms including recycling services, secure shredding, packaging work, and a busy laundry and ironing service.

Liz also shared their next major project: preparing 1,000 show bags for the Show, filled with donated items to help raise funds to support their ongoing programs.

We finished with an engaging Q&A and a small token of thanks from Rotary, along with a donation of $100 to Rotary's End Polio Now campaign from the Club in Liz's name.

A wonderful presentation and a great reminder of the impact strong local organisations have in our community.

What a moment! 🎉🐴

Last week we were thrilled to present a $25,000 donation to Goulburn Centre RDA NSW – an incredible organisation changing lives through horse-assisted therapy and activities.

RDA Goulburn is powered entirely by volunteers who care for the horses, support the riders and create a safe, joyful space for people living with a wide range of disabilities. Their impact on confidence, mobility and social connection is extraordinary.

Their recent presentation to our Club was heartfelt and inspiring, and it was clear just how much they’ve achieved since 1979, and how big their vision is for the future.

This donation is our way of saying thank you for everything they do and backing them as they continue to grow and support our community.

As Rotarians, we’re passionate about strengthening our region and supporting the people and organisations who make Goulburn a better place for all. From youth programs to community development, events and hands-on projects, our Club is proud to give back wherever we can.

Well done to President Jo, Treasurer Kim and the whole team at RDA Goulburn. We’re proud to support you. 💙💛

We are looking forward to another great Goulburn Rotary Markets tomorrow!

Proudly brought to you by Rotary Club of Goulburn.

Saturday is Goulburn Rotary Markets day!

Second last Market before 🎅 arrives, so come on down, shop with our fabulous local and regional stallholders.

Growing Abilities Goulburn are cooking up a storm on the bbq, and Hume Conservatorium are on the tunes. What a line up!

See you in Montague Street from 8.30am. ☀️

Stallholders - we have a long waiting list in place, so if your plans have changed and you can't come, let us know ASAP or you may not get a site for December. We try and be as flexible and accommodating as possible, but we can't keep being disappointed by no-shows, while others don't get the opportunity to get a site.

💙 Caring for our community

Earlier this year, the Rotary Club of Goulburn was pleased to be able to support people experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping through the provision of sleeping bags - a small gesture with a big impact during the colder months.

We were recently joined by Toni Reay from Anglicare, who spoke about the important work they do supporting vulnerable people across our region, and thanked Rotary for our continued care for community.

It’s a reminder that together, we can make a real difference. 💛

RYPEN helps young people build confidence, leadership skills and teamwork through an inspiring weekend of activities and connection.

The Rotary Club of Goulburn proudly contributes to this important cause each year, donating at the end of every Rotary year and giving an additional $100 in recognition of our guest speakers throughout the year.

🎭 Rotary supports Mighty Playwrights Goulburn!

The Rotary Club of Goulburn is proud to donate a further $5,000 to support the inspiring Mighty Playwrights program, giving local young people the chance to write, create and see their stories come to life on stage. ✨

It’s a wonderful celebration of creativity, confidence and community - exactly the kind of project Rotary loves to get behind. 💛

Spot our historic information signs as you travel along the Wollondilly River and Mulwaree River Walkways.

We are proud to continue to develop these signs, with the help of our research friends at History Goulburn and with the support of our friends at Goulburn Mulwaree Council.

As proud Rotarians we love Goulburn Australia and the beauty of our fine City, and it is our greatest pleasure to volunteer our time for the community we know and love.
