The Rotary Club of Katanning was established in 1957.
Today the club, which has 27 active members, holds weekly dinner meetings at the Katanning Country Club, Round Drive, Katanning, most Mondays starting at 7.00pm. Meetings last approximately one hour.
Like Rotary clubs around the world, Katanning’s membership cover a large number of vocations and is very active within the community.
Our youth are our future – they will be the leaders, entrepreneurs, and teachers in the years to come. It is therefore important we give them every opportunity to develop and grow into responsible adults.
Right across the world Rotary clubs provide opportunities for young people to do just that.
In Katanning we are no different. We encourage our young people to participate and learn from a number of avenues while giving them the tools to be active volunteers of tomorrow. We also give disadvantaged young people a way to a happy and vibrant future through a variety of programs.

OBJECT OF ROTARY
First formulated in 1910 and adapted through the years as Rotary’s mission expanded, the Object of Rotary provides a succinct definition of the organisation’s purpose as well as the club members responsibilities.
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifing of each Rotarian’s occupation as an apportunity to serve society;
THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world of fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
ROTARY’S FOUR-WAY TEST
In every thing we say and do…
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FREINDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
