Tree of Joy
This is a Rotary Community project, it is a simple but powerful idea aimed at providing gifts to less fortunate people within the broad community who seldom have the pleasure of receiving one for Christmas.
 
Organisations join with Belrose Rotary for this program and trees can be found in shopping centres, schools and corporate offices. Well before Christmas, Belrose Rotary reaches out to our partner charities seeking any special needs. From this, we mainly hand write tags to suit our charities requests eg, 4 year old boys seeks ...; gift for a single mum etc
 
We at Belrose Rotary have many charities and support organisations who approach us with details of worthy recipients of gifts, these may be young or old, lonely, poor, infirm or just in need of a little love and care. Our handwritten gift cards are produced and dress the Tree, people choose a card, purchase the gift and leave under the Tree. We regularly collect the donated gifts and immediately distribute to the appropriate charity or support organisation.
 
Organisations we support include -
Exodus Foundation; Anglicare; Bear Cottage (children's hospice); Royal Far West (children from the bush); Women's Refuges; Stewart House (kids respite) plus Indigenous and Rural Communities in NSW.
Borgnis St Christmas lights, Bear Cottage fundraiser
Thanks again for everyone’s help with the Borgnis Street lights. Guess what? We’ve hit similar figures for the 3rd year in a row, but we won’t steal the thunder before the presentation. That is an amazing effort given our low numbers. Of course, we were able to pull it off with the assistence of many helpers.
The contribution from Davidson High School Interact (the High School Rotary group we sponsor) the Rotary Clubs of Balgowlah and Warringah, friends, family and Borgnis St residents was huge and very much appreciated.

Rotary at the Start of the United Nations

Rotary and the United Nations have a shared history of working toward peace and addressing humanitarian issues around the world.

During World War II, Rotary informed and educated members about the formation of the United Nations and the importance of planning for peace. Materials such as the booklet “From Here On!” and articles in The Rotarian helped members understand the UN before it was formally established and follow its work after its charter. 

Many countries were fighting the war when the term “United Nations” was first used officially in the 1942 “Declaration by United Nations.” The 26 nations that signed it pledged to uphold the ideals expressed by the United States and the United Kingdom the previous year of the common principles “on which they based their hopes for a better future for the world.”
