The certification of the World Health Organization's Southeast Asia
 region as polio-free has led to many stories in the media
 highlighting Rotary's instrumental role in achieving this important milestone.
 General Secretary John Hewko joined Rotary member Devin Thorpe 
last week in a live Forbes.com interview to discuss how we will eradicate polio
 in the three countries where it still exists:
 Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan

This container of Wheel Chairs was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Wanneroo.

Background

Past President Debbie Singh has been working with the Burma Children Medical Fund
 and has raised funds to assist the
refurbishment of a house to support outpatients in Mae Sot Thailand .
The Rotary Club of Wanneroo donated  $3000.00
 to the Building fund to help this project.

Through an introduction by our Past President Graeme Smith ,
 Wheel Chair for Kids received a private donation 
from Beth Leece  of $3000.00
to pay for the cost of the container and freight to Bangkok .
 Beth also made a donation of $2000.00 to the Burma Medical Fund .
The Rotary Club of Wanneroo through Past President Debbie

getting the container of Wheelchairs to Mae Sot. 
Their member Mike Ellis Managing Director 
ALLIED PICKFORDS (THAILAND),

  for the cost of the demurrage  and  "folding" money
 to get the goods released .
This is not what we like doing

 have been great support

Drop Bears







the Prank is on Gordon


A witch doctor kept the members of his tribe in subjugation 
by means of his powerful magic
. Whenever one of the tribe’s people tried to revolt against the tyrant,
 he uttered a magic incantation
 and turned the person into an apple.

One night, a group of the witch doctor’s subjects sneaked into his hut,
 opened his book of magic and learned the apple incantation.
 When the doctor awoke
, the people recited the magic phrases
 and turned him into an apple.

But the magic book warned that if the apple ever dried out 
and changed significantly in weight,
 it would change back to the person under the spell.
 Not wishing for the doctor’s revenge,
 every day the tribe’s people would place the apple
 on a scale to make sure its weight remained the same.


Moral: A weigh a day keeps the doctor an apple
