Welcome to the Rotary Club of Corowa
Our Club was chartered on May 17th 1939 by the Rotary Club of Albury and we are the second oldest Club in Rotary District 9790.
We currently have 54 members - including 8 members of the newly formed Rotary Satellite Club of Corowa Freestylers - and are actively working in promoting Polio Plus, which is aimed at eradicating polio world wide. We also support local community projects including school bursaries, adopt a highway clean-up program, exchange students and many more. In 2014 we took over organisation of the Federation Festival and started to reinvigorate the Federation monthly market and Federation (B&S) Ball. In 2016 we introduced Federation Dinner and Tim Fischer AM Oration to be held on the Friday of the Australia Day weekend and revived the Federation Parade.

A Wonderful Evening at Cofield Wines – Changeover
Last Wednesday, members, partners, friends and visiting Rotarians gathered in the beautiful barrel room at Cofield Wines to mark one of the most significant nights in the Rotary calendar – our Annual Changeover Dinner. We were joined by guests from the Corowa Lions, Corowa and District Inner Wheel, Corowa District Historical Society, Corowa Sub Branch, and representatives from several neighbouring Rotary clubs, and our ever supportive Rotarian, PDG Bernie Bott from Yarrawonga Mulwala Rotary Club, whose presence is always appreciated. A delicious two-course meal was served and the Cofield Wines staff provided impeccable service and hospitality – we extend our thanks to the team there. The program included a moving moment with Geoff Cofield, father of our incoming president, Stacey Price, sharing two poems. Outgoing President Rosemary Ferguson gave her final report before officially handing over the presidency to Stacey, who accepted the collar with enthusiasm.
In her passionate remarks, Stacey thanked the club for their support and said she looked forward to leading with positivity and fun.

2025-06-25 Paul Harris Fellow Presentations
A special moment of the evening was the presentation of Paul Harris Fellow Recognition Awards to two very committed Rotarians.
Kerrie Crawford was recognised for her tireless involvement in youth exchange, the Corowa Markets, and her consistent hands-on contribution to so many Rotary events and initiatives.
Robyn Rhodes was celebrated for her dedication to our club’s weekly programs, her phenomenal organisation of the Tim Fischer Oration dinner, and her behind-the-scenes work that often goes unspoken but never unnoticed.
Congratulations to both women on this well-earned honour.
