Rotary Club of Howrah is an active Club supp
orting all Rotary Areas of Service. In participating in these activities we encourage those offering whole Club Fellowship.
Some of our recently supported activities included food stalls at the Taste of Tasmania and Government House Open Days. We were at the Government House Open Day on 5 February 2012.
We're often seen with our BBQ trailer selling sausages and great hamburgers at places such as Howrah Garden Centre on the first Saturday monthly, K and D at Cambridge Park , Seafarers Festival and the Spring Tulip Festival.
While we support local initiatives we are a strong supporter of Rotary Foundation activities and the Australian Rotary Health Fund. Activities supporting young people are emphasised.
In June 2011 we won the District award for the best Club attendance.
Other activities we're either working on or have worked on recently include
