In the 2008-09 year we will continue to build on all our programs of service, Community, Vocational, Youth and International. Please review the "Avenues of Service" section in this website for details of activites currently underway.

In addition, we will be concentrating substantial effort on our two major fundraising projects, the Annual Lindfield Fun Run and the new plan to sell wine sourced from the Hunter. For detailed information you should refer to the specific page in our website but brief details appear hereunder.

 Our continuing interest in and support for KYDS, our Centenary project, will also merit attention as it progresses.

This is a very important part of our website which will be developed over coming months and where we will regularly post details of our major projects as they unfold.

The Annual Fun Run:

The major fund raising activity of the club centers on the Annual Fun Run. This event has been increasing in size every year and with the generous support of sponsors has become a fixture on the calendar of runners from our immediate area as well as some of the more serious from further afield.

We hope for a record field this year and have a dedicated website at www.lindfieldrotaryfunrun.org.au where it is possible for participants to find all of the information about the event and register online.

The committee was extremely happy with the execution of the 2008 event on Sunday March 16th, 2008. After some early difficulties with the proposed traffic control and security of the course layout were overcome, the day dawned bright and clear and it was again a great turnout of runners and walkers keen to complete either the 10K or the 5K course. Some 1175 registrations were received.

KYDS Inc.

The Centenary project of the Linfield Rotary Club was the Ku-Ring-Gai Youth Development Service which came to fruition in early 2005 after a long gestation period and a great deal of hard work by some key members of the club.

The service, which provides counselling for youth at risk, is now in operation in refurbished premises behind the Lindfield Library and has a full time Counsellor, and a newly constituted Board of Management who have taken over responsibility for the ongoing funding and operation of the centre which is seperately incorporated. Lindfield Rotary Club will continue to support the centre in appropriate ways and has provided over $45,000 to the development in the past year. This is in addition to the hundreds of hours of voluntary work provided by club members and associates.

The overwhelming demand for the services provided by KYDS is of course an indication of the foresight of the early promoters of the project and a vindication of the efforts they made to see the centre come in to being.
