Rotary Club of Jerrabomberra

In 1998 the Rotary Clubs of Queanbeyan and Queanbeyan West Rotary decided to sponsor a new Rotary Club based in Jerrabomberra. Bill Lilley, John Snedden and Peter Jarvis from Queanbeyan West took on the joint roll of mentor (Peter Jarvis went on to become our Charter President).

Members, 43%. We also have quite a number of married couples.

Initial meetings were held at the Jerrabomberra General Store—the venue was very good until we grew in numbers. We now meet at the Jerrabomberra Public School, on Thursdays (6.15 for 6.30 pm). As at 1 July 2012, the Club has 29 members—13 female and 16 male. Included in this are seven married couples.

(Charter) President Peter ran competitions to select a name for our Club bulletin and a design for the Club banner. There were some good and (very) bad suggestions. Pam Spencer suggested the winning bulletin name, Jerraganda. The banner design by David Stevens was eventually selected. The design incorporates a goose and the windmill associated with the original entrance to the estate.
