Who We Are

Who We Are

 Joensuun Eteläinen Rotary Club is an active club located in Joensuu, North Carelia, Finland.  We meet at lunch from 11.00 am to 12.00 and have a meeting from 12.00 to 13.00 in the meeting room of Restaurant Local Bistro every other Friday. We like to see each other, listen to interesting presentations and promote doing good in our town. We also visit various places and companies. We support humanitarian projects carried out by the international Rotary organisation, participate in Youth Exchange, and promote the well-being of our vicinity.

Our club was established 26.3.1970. We have 35 members, and we belong to District 1430.

 

A Hobby with a Purpose

We concentrate on supporting Youth Exchange. We help youngsters to participate in the Rotary International Youth Exchange every year. We believe that youth exchange is the best grassroots internationalization and peace education.

We also highlight important social development needs. In our meetings we have interesting presentations and lively discussions.

We set a high value on the efforts of Rotary International and on this organisation’s valuable work in eradicating polio from the world. Rotary has invested a lot of voluntary work and more than 2.1 billion US dollars for this work only.
