What would it take to change the world?

Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto Service Above Self.

Annual Wine Auction

The annual Wine Auction of the Gately Rotary Club is a prestige event on the Club's fundraising calendar and is very well supported by numerous wine estates in the Western Cape.

The auction is held under the leadership of well known wine connoisseur, Michael Fridjon, who acts as the Auctioneer, whilst an enthusiastic East London community participate eagerly in the auction.

Social events for Fellowship

Gately Rotary Club also believes in creating opportunity for its members to network and enjoy excellent fellowship with one another. Such events are typically the Beach Walk at Kidds Beach and subsequent braai at Corder Tilney's farm house.
