Rotarians, their partners and children are again preparing to sizzle sausages at Nerang Celebrates, a commitment the Rotary Club of Nerang is proud to have made to the event since the very first Nerang Celebrates Christmas held in 2007. During the evening we expect to serve up over 120 kgs of suasages and loads of soft drinks.

Nerang State High School Interact Club invited students across the school to paint their pinkies purple to share Rotary's End Polio Now message. The members of the Club talked to the school community about the outstanding success of the End Polio initiative as just three countries remain Polio hot spots, and even in these countries the incidence of Polio have been dramatically reduced. In 2017 just seven cases of Polio have been reported. Funds raised will be donated to the Rotary Foundation's End Polio Now campaign.
