OUR PROJECTS
SAFE PLATE DAY
A team of six volunteers spent Tuesday morning at the Heidelberg Mall replacing conventional number plate screws with theft-proof ones.
No money was raised but we were part of the team including Heidelberg Police, Northcote SES and Banyule Neighbourhood Watch.
The Club supports Shelter Box and Disaster Aid Australia during international emergencies.METRO RAIL BBQ
Who would have thought that the
Rotary Club of Heidelberg would have organised a meeting at 5am on Wednesday 11th October at Macleod Station !
A team of twelve Rotarians were on deck to cook and supply 700 sausages and vegie burgers to city bound commuters who had to “detrain” and “embus” at Macleod station, due to the level crossing removal project on the line.
POLIO PLUS
The Club makes regular contributions to Polio Plus, including $100 per member as part of our annual fee.

Trailer Raffle
One of the club's major fund raiser's was the trailer raffle, where we raffled off a new trailer donated by Michael's Trailers. The trailer was filled with other donated goods and tickets were sold over a two month period at major shopping centres and markets in the district.
Solomon Island Project
The Club sent a team of members to the Solomon Islands to construct a malaria monitoring station in a remote part of the country.
New Generations Visit
The club was host to a group of young people from Germany who came to Victoria for 6 weeks. In the week with us we took them to State Parliament, a farm, the MCG, some workplaces and Federation Square.
Donations in Kind
The club was offered two classrooms full of old school desks from Rosanna Primary School. We loaded them into a truck and transported them to the DIK centre in Geelong where they will be sent in a container to an overseas country in need.
Youth Exchange Student
The Club hosted Maeva, a French exchange student, for 12 months in 2011. She stayed with four families in the club and went to Ivanhoe Girls Grammar School, where she studied Art. She has since completed a Fashion apprenticeship in Paris and is on her way to the job of her dreams.
