 Supplies of most of the products on hand,

so we can start supplying to any Clubs who want to sell early.

This also enables country Clubs to make arrangements

 to collect them when someone is traveling to Perth

 as there is not the margin in them for me to be able to deliver,

Since becoming involved with distribution 

of Rotary Chistmas Cakes & Puddings,

We have been promoting donating 

cakes & puddings to Foodbank

. The Rotary club of Bunbury Club donates 

about 100 to Bunbury Foodbank.

For the Clubs wanting to donate to Perth Foodbank,

 they just notify me what they want to donate –

 some just give me a $ amount and 

we make up a mix of cakes & puddings –

  then invoice them for the amount

and we do the delivery to Foodbank

. last year it was 14 cartons to Perth Foodbank.

One of the reasons we promote this is 

because the recipients of food

from Foodbank do not usually get to see 

that Rotary is a strong supporter of Foodbank

and getting something with the Rotary logo

 is about the most effective way of achieving this.

Rotary Club of Fremantle

On September 26^th this Rotary year

 the Rotary Club of Fremantle

will celebrate its 86^th birthday

The club was the second club chartered in Western Australia;

It was chartered in 1928 just 12 months 

after the Rotary Club of Perth in 1927

On June 27 1928,

 a number of Fremantle businessmen were invited to a meeting

at the Fremantle Chamber of commerce,

where they were addressed by

District Governor Fred Birks of District 65

In 1928 District 65 covered the whole of Australia

Others to address the meeting were the

Rotary Club of Perth President Sinclair J McGibbon

Sir William Lathlain,

 the charter president of the Perth Rotary Club

who was also a former Mayor of the City of Perth

There being 16 intending members it was decided to form a club

And the first meeting was held at the Orient Hotel on July 11^th  1928

Under the Presidency of GF Moore,

Fremantle became a chartered club no 2961 on September 28^th

In that year with a membership of 16

the club topped the attendance list for Australia

Annual fees were Four Pounds and Four shillings

It took four years for the membership to top 50

and another 19 years for membership to reach 100

As membership increased so,

 did the territorial area

Now sharing the whole of Western Australia 

with the Rotary Club of Perth

The Perth and Fremantle clubs were the only clubs 

in Western Australia

until the formation of the Bunbury Club 

12 years later on July 10^th 1939

Fremantle club has provided from its ranks 

several District Governors,

and has been closely associated with the civic life of Fremantle

At one time having six councillors in its membership

Two members have presided as Mayor of Fremantle

The late Sir Frank Gibson 1919/1923, 1927/1951

And Sir Frank Samson 1951/1972

Totalling between them a period of 49 years

A distinguished member of the Club was John Curtin

a war time Prime Minister who was made a member in 1942

He died two years later

In 1977 there was only one surviving Charter member

He was 90 year old Jasper Green

Jasper had the unusual classification of Outpost member, 

Wool Growing

This was given to him when he left Fremantle

to live in Carnamah 300 kilometres away

 where there was no club

The classification allowed maintenance of membership with 40% attendance

Developments in the city over many years

 have received strong Rotary Support

and the club instigated and supported

 these projects in its early history

including the establishment

Young Men’s Christian Association

A Senior Citizens centre

A Meals on Wheels service

A Women’s night Shelter

A Prison Workshop

The Olympic Swimming poll

A Mission to Seamen’s Centre

A Heart Ambulance

and many others

In  1930 history shows 

 that the first Ladies luncheon was held

And Ladies night’s were held annually and still continue

In 1932 a Fathers and Sons luncheon was held

This was changed to a Sons and Daughters Dinner two years later

The current Fremantle Club

recently  amalgamated with The Fremantle Port club

Today’s major Fundraisers and the Annual Art Show

And a combined Golf Day withe Rotary Club of Attadale

Currently meeting evenings at the

 Villa Roma Restaurant in High Street

2014 / 2015  President is Bob Coventry

All the monks in a certain monastery sing the simple word “Morning!”

 from their windows each sunrise.

 One day, after several “Morning!” greetings had been sung,

 a greeting of “Evening!” rang out.

In the courtyard below, a startled Brother Timothy said,

 “Did you hear that, Brother Edward?”

 “Hear what, Brother Timothy?” replied Brother Edward.

Brother Timothy sang in reply:

“Someone chanted evening…”
