Rotary’s Heart for Community Shines in Rach Z Interview

Rotary’s Heart for Community Shines in Rach Z Interview

By Rach Z | Radio Springfield City

Last Saturday on Radio Springfield City, Rach Z was joined by Donelle Whiteley, President of the Rotary Club of Greater Springfield, for a warm and inspiring conversation about community service, local projects and the power of people coming together.

Donelle shared that Rotary is not only a service organisation, but also a group that knows how to have fun while making a real difference. One recent example was Project Kade, a heartfelt fundraising effort supporting a local family. Rach spoke about attending the event and leaving with “a full cup” after seeing the generosity and compassion shown by the club.

The conversation also highlighted the wide range of projects Rotary is involved in, both locally and internationally. In Greater Springfield, the club has helped install a Peace Pole at Robelle Domain, featuring the message “May peace prevail on earth” in multiple languages.

Janelle also spoke about Rotary’s work overseas, including sponsoring a classroom in Siem Reap, Cambodia, helping children access education and work towards breaking the cycle of poverty.

Rotary’s broader impact was also discussed, including its support of Bloodbikes, ShelterBox, and the global End Polio Now campaign.

For those wanting to get involved, the Rotary Club of Greater Springfield meets every second Thursday of the month at Springfield Vista, formerly known as Aveo. Janelle said anyone interested in community service, friendship and making a difference is welcome to come along.

Listeners can also find out more by searching for Rotary Club of Greater Springfield on Facebook and sending the club a message.

It was another great local conversation on Radio Springfield City, showcasing the people and organisations working hard to make Greater Springfield an even better place to live.
