THE ROTARY CLUB OF KNYSNA
Welcome to the Rotary Club of Knysna. Our club, which was chartered in 1962, works enthusiastically to maintain its reputation for outstanding fellowship and commitment to the Rotary principle of Service above Self.
With over 58 permanent members, our club also offers a temporary home to a number of ‘swallows’ or long-term visitors to this lovely area.
Knysna Rotary has raised millions of rands through the annual Pick n Pay Weekend Argus Rotary Knysna Cycle Tour, which is a major event of the Knysna Oyster Festival.
The Golf Weekend is another major Rotary fundraising and fun event. The funds raised by Knysna Rotary are poured
into its many community projects.
The Four way Test of things we Think, Say or Do.
1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendship?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
THE ROTARY GRACE
For food, friends, fellowship and the opportunity to serve, we thank you, O Lord. Make us ever mindful of those less fortunate than ourselves. AMEN
