Welcome to the Davidson Network
For any network to be successful, it must be of perceived benefit to its participants. With the creation of the Davidson network by the Madras (Chennai) and Bombay (Mumbai) clubs the links have been established. Now we must ensure it has value to the clubs it reaches. We can do this by capitalizing on the opportunities it creates. Dr. Robert Lampard.

Rotary Give Every Child A Future: Australia and New Zealand clubs fund childhood vaccinations in the Pacific
Just over a hundred years ago, JWD was instrumental in founding the first Rotary Clubs in Australia and New Zealand: Melbourne, Sydney, Wellington and Auckland. To celebrate the 2021 centenary, these clubs jointly resolved to mark the event with an international project that would be bigger than any of us could contemplate on our own.
