Rotary Club of Geelong West Book Fair - 18-20 February 2022 Posted on Jan 14, 2022 Rotary Geelong West is pleased to announce that we are working towards holding our next Book Fair on the weekend of 18-20 February, 2022. After nearly 2 years of COVID interrupting our lives, we remain positive that with a few small restrictions we are going to make this happen. Our February Book Fair will commence at 9.00am each day running through to 6.00pm on Friday, 5.00pm on Saturday and 2.00pm on Sunday, on the weekend of 18-20 February 2022. The Rotary Geelong West Team has sorted through books from all genres, which will be available at incredible prices - $1 for paperbacks and children's books; $2 for hardcovers. Each Book Fair contributes to the major fundraising for the Rotary Club of Geelong West, and so far has raised over $120,000 that has been channelled back through our Rotary Club’s supported projects such as Barwon Health Patient Transport, Samaritan House, Operation Newstart, Christ Church Meals Program, Geelong Mums, Geelong Kokoda Youth Program and Interplast, not to mention all of the many smaller charitable programs that have been assisted by Rotary Club grants each year.

Self Care Sunday Geelong Stair Race Report Posted on Oct 31, 2018 In inaugural Self Care Sunday Stair Climb took place on 28 October 2018 in Geelong. SCA’s Jason Williams car pooled with Maria Pia Piemontese to travel over from Melbourne to take part. We were so excited to find out only a few weeks ago that there was a stair race happening in Geelong.
