Current Club Projects

Chaplaincy Fun Run                                              

Each year our club supports the local Scripture Union Chaplains in Schools program by running a fun run around the Caboolture Lakes. 

It is a fun morning where you can be a serious runner or just have an enjoyable walk. The distances are 2km, 5km & 10km.

 

Domestic Violence Refuge

The club has been raising funds to help establish a local Domestic Violence Refuge. We have supplied the refuge with goods & items for when it opens in early 2020. Things like outdoor settings, travel vouchers & general household or personal items.

 

Caboolture Hospital Children’s Fairy Garden           

This garden came about in 2011 after it was felt there was a need for an area where patients and their families could go to chill out away from the wards. Rotary Caboolture got behind the construction of the Fairy Garden and still maintain it on a regular basis.
