Fellow Rotarians and friends

This heart-felt note thanks you all for your contributions

 to our CHOGM Rotary Showcase late last month.

Thanks to your input we were ultimately able to present a wide range of web-content,

DVDs, PowerPoint presentations and iPhoto slideshows for the visiting public;

 from Cockatoo nesting boxes, to metropolitan and country club community activities,

to overseas projects, to vocational recognition and youth programs,

 and of course Rotary's many local fundraising and community events

. A synopsis of the web-based material is attached, but to this must be added specialist DVDs,

 a wide range of YouTube clips, snapshots and photos

 (many of which were sourced via Rotary Out West - Thanks, Phil!).

At a rough estimate we spoke at some length with around 350 visitors at the event,

 with much interest in Youth Exchange, the ShelterBox concept and Wheelchairs for Kids project;

and enquiries about many other programs and projects, volunteer participation and donations.

 The ShelterBox and wheelchair were major attractions that really grabbed the attention

of many other visitors to the Urban Orchard and Festival.

Our Rotaract, ROTEX, NYSF and Youth Exchange guides did an amazing job

 familiarising local and overseas visitors with the breadth of Rotary's endeavours.

And we should not forget to mention that,

although RI and our Foundation did not establish a profile at the CHOGM table,

Commonwealth nations, the Australian Government and others,

 including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,

 have committed substantial resources to the eradication of Polio,

 hopefully finally seeing Sir Clem Renouf's vision

as RI President way back in 1978 become a reality.

In closing, I would like to advocate that both our WA districts

 collaborate to establish and maintain a web-based Rotary program

and project showcase and archive,

 that would form a central source of ideas of current initiatives

 and past successes that benefit our clubs, our local community,

 our people and our world, and provide a ready reference for the public,

 government and industry about what Rotary in WA is,

 what we do, what we're attempting and what we've achieved.

From the Rotary Club of Heirisson, and me personally,

we hope you, your members and your clubs have a joyous

Christmas and a very successful New Year in 2012.

Yours in Rotary service
