To be in a position to run various community projects, it is necessary for members of the Rotary Club of Wendouree Breakfast to raise funds by running fundraising activities throughout the year.

Some of our club's activities are listed below.

A BBQ Trailer of Our Own

Years of borrowing a BBQ trailer to aid the clubs fundraising effort led to talk of aquiring one of our own. Research by President Kay Macaulay led to Ballarat Group Training  undertaking the construction of a purpose built trailer to specifications created by Keith Driscoll in July 2011.
