During the 2025–2026 Rotary year, President Clare Bennett led the Rotary Club of Wendouree Breakfast under the theme “Unite for Good,” inspiring members to strengthen connections within the local community and beyond. The club celebrated significant achievements in international service, including the opening of the Rob McDougall Library in Ambon, while continuing to support education, youth development, environmental initiatives, and community wellbeing.

Locally, members expanded the success of the Bridge Market, contributed to environmental projects such as the Canadian Creek corridor tree planting, supported emergency recovery efforts through BlazeAid, and partnered in new leadership mentoring initiatives with Victoria Police. The club also invested in the next generation through youth exchange, leadership and science programs, school-based garden restoration projects, and support for Youth Day Out.

Through contributions to PolioPlus, The Rotary Foundation, the Community Care Centre Ballarat, and other local organisations, the club demonstrated its ongoing commitment to supporting vulnerable communities both locally and internationally. With a vibrant and diverse membership, the Rotary Club of Wendouree Breakfast continued to embody Rotary’s values of service, fellowship, and community engagement, leaving a strong foundation for future growth and lasting impact.
