Projects

During the club's 50 years of existence it has played a significant part in the of the community and has provided much needed help for many worthwhile projects. Among them are the following:

Oratory Cup

In 1955 to commemorate 50 years of Rotary International, the Headmaster of the hermanus High School, Cassie Dreyer, a Rotarian, instituted a public speaking competition for Matric and first year Matric Pupils. In 1994 when the schools of Hawston and Zwelihle were upgraded to High School status the competition was extended to include them as well. This is an annual event which is very much appreciated by all the pupils.

Golf Day

Our first Golf Day was held on Easter Saturday in 1955. Holes were sponsored by the public and advertisements in the programmes were sold to them as well. The Anns were responsible for all the catering originally, but in later years this has changed. It has become a very popular annual event and usually raises approximately R16 000,00 for the Community.

Rotary Way

This is a beautiful scenic drive up the Mountain. The road was sponsored by the Club in 1960 when the late Bill Le Barrow suggested it and with the help of Cyril Gillespie and various members the road was built by the Caledon Divisional Council and Tarred a year later.
