Rotary Eclub of
Greater Cape Town
District #9350
"People of Action"
Rotary is where neighbours, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas and take action to create lasting change.
About Us
Vision, Goals
and Commitment
Rotary Eclub of Greater Cape Town was chartered on July 18th, 2017, and is part of District #9350. An interesting fact about our District is that it spans more than 4000 km, making it vast from one end to the other.
Having an eClub is a way to bring everyone together through technology, not only through the expanse of our District but also from fellow Rotarians worldwide.
We proudly call our members "people of action" as we accomplish different projects locally and abroad. We also duplicate projects in the geographical areas where our members reside.
It's easy.
Our Clusters
Collaboration, Networking
and Fun
Cluster groups enhance the Rotary experience by members who are within a reasonable distance from one another. These cluster groups can then arrange face-to-face contact, fellowship, and other activities within their local area, including local service projects. It is not at the exclusion of combined activities for all members or inter-cluster activities.
If you would like to create a cluster as you have a passion that you want to shed more light on, feel free to start one, even if none of the members are in your area, as long as you find other like-minded individuals able to assist and make it happen!
