About Us:
Rotary Club Bali Kuta was chartered on 30 June 1989 with the sponsor club RC Bali Sanur, and the charter members were 25 Rotarians. Aloysius Purwa was the charter President of this club, the first meetings were done at the older Kartika Plaza hotel, then moved to Pertamina Cottages (now known as The Patra) for some years, after that meeting place was moved to the Santika Beach Hotel, and now for the last 4 years Rotary Club Bali Kuta is meeting every Wednesday, 12.00 noon at the Cempaka Bali Guest House. Jalan Raya Kuta 127, Cempaka Lane.
We have many Past Presidents now, but only 4 of the Charter members are still remaining with the club and the current President for 2009-2010 is Ratnawati Hartoyo. For many years Rotary Club Bali Kuta only had male members, but now we have 5 female members and soon we expect we will be about fifty-fifty.
Our members today are 23 Active and one honorary member and he is H.E. the Governor of Bali Mr. Made Mangku Pastika. President Ratnawati’s goal is 30 members on her ending term.
Kuta is a world famous place for tourism, especially for Australians who consider this town their second home. People are coming and going very fast from about 175 countries as visitors as well as long stay guests. And therefore our members are also changing quite fast based on their job conditions and traveling needs.
The 4 charter members who are still active at Rotary Club Bali Kuta are: DGE Al Purwa, PP Panudiana Kuhn, PP Gunawan Kantawibawa and PP Arya Budi Giri, all of them are Paul Harris Fellow and a Major Donor.
For the year 2010-2011 this club will host or produce a District Governor for D3400, namely the Charter President of this Club, and of course every member will be given one or more task to be active on the District level.
