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.

Members, Family and Friends Eat Parmas for Polio

May 31st 2010 saw forty-eight Rotarians, family and friends select a chicken parmagiana from the menu at The Golf House Hotel. The hotel offers a special for clubs raising funds, the two course meal costs $20, then the hotel donates $10 per meal back to the club. The cheque for $480 dollars will deliver nearly one thousand doses of polio sabin.

Turning Sausages Into Cash

Since the beginning of 2010 three BBQ's have turned sausages into cash. Australia Day, Begonia Festival and at Dahlsens Building Centre. Members have willingly filled the rosters to deliver perfectly cooked produce and ice chilled drinks. Varying weather conditons force organisers to scientifically guess the required quantities - sometimes with amazing accuracy.
