ROTARY CLUB OF LAVINGTON ECO
The Lavington Eco Rotary Club is a single-focus cause-based club which was initiated in November 2019 - with the support of the Rotary Club of Lavington, and chartered in June 2020.
The club aims to engage its members in dialogue, networking and hands-on service projects around environmental sustainability causes, and through its activities, the Rotary Eco club will seek to build a “green culture” within and outside of Rotary.
The club also aims to identify environmental issues in communities, and work collaboratively with others to promote sustainable existence in communities. Other objectives of the Lavington Eco
