The Magill Sunrise Rotary Club, located in the east of Sturt, might have as its orthodoxy relaxation, inclusivity and informality, but when I recently attended a breakfast meeting at the club I also saw the professionalism, supreme organisation and dedication of club members to not only their local community but the global community. The club exists to serve others and to make the world a better place. Its vision is to take real action for lasting change in the community, and its values are people, community, compassion, openness, respect, commitment and fun.

The Magill Sunrise Rotary Club supports a broad range of initiatives, including Operation Flinders, which is a program to support young South Australians to build optimism, belonging, hope, resilience and emotional wellbeing. It also supports the Eastern Adelaide Domestic Violence Service and the Hutt St Centre, which works to reduce and support people experiencing homelessness. At a global level, the club supports the Lirhanzo Children's Village in Zimbabwe, which houses and educates children whose parents are unable to provide for them.

Like so many clubs and community organisations, the Magill Sunrise Rotary Club relies on the generosity of volunteers like Pauline Hill and Lindsay Thomas, whose boundless energy and professionalism are always on display.
