Spreading Christmas cheer to those sleeping rough
Dec 27, 2025
 
On Christmas Eve, we spent the evening volunteering with the Vinnies Night Patrol.
 
For many, Christmas can be a lonely time. Being out at Queanbeyan and Dickson, sharing a chat, some food and a bit of Christmas cheer with companions was a meaningful way to help people feel seen and connected on the night.
Merry Christmas from the Sundowners

Whether you’re surrounded by family and friends or spending the day quietly, we’re thinking of our community and wishing you peace and joy wherever you are.
Welcoming our newest member, Earth
Dec 18, 2025
 
At our last meeting for 2025 we had the great privilege of officially welcoming Earth as the newest member of the Sundowners!
 
We were thrilled to have District Governor Nominee Gary Davis on hand to facilitate the induction and share his words of encouragement.
 
Earth sees the Sundowners as the perfect place to turn her passion for the local community into meaningful action. She is looking forward to learning new skills, building new connections and working alongside fellow Rotarians to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
75 Christmas hampers to spread festive cheer
Dec 16, 2025
 
At our last meeting for the year, we joined with the Rotary Clubs of Jerrabomberra and Woden Daybreak to pack 75 Christmas hampers for the companions of the Vinnies Canberra/Goulburn Community Inclusion Program at Oaks Estate.
 
It was a great way to round-out the year with a truly festive service project, filled with laughter, teamwork and plenty of Christmas spirit. This project highlights the power of Rotary clubs working together to create meaningful impact and spread joy where it’s needed most.
 
Thank you to everyone involved for giving their time, energy and generosity to help make Christmas a little brighter for the Oaks Estate community.
Spreading some joy on the BBQ for Christmas
Dec 04, 2025
 
We had a great time helping celebrate Christmas at the Community Services #1 Christmas Party on Thursday afternoon!
 
We were glad to provide support again this year by donating supplies and firing up the barbecue for the sausage sizzle.
 
Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a chat and a snag! It was a lovely way to mark the beginning of the festive season with our community.
Easing the pressure of Christmas gift wrapping
Dec 14, 2025
 
We're proud to support Kids in Care ACT by helping staff the wrapping stations at Big W stores across Canberra this festive season.

It’s a great way to inject some Christmas cheer into busy shopping centres and take the stress out of that tricky task of gift wrapping.

If you can help out next week, please reach out to Kids in Care ACT. It's a great way to spend your weekend!
