Rotary Club of Northam

The Rotary Club Northam had planned to have a trip to Vietnam

commencing in Ho Chi Minh city (Saigon) on Sunday 12^th July.

Unfortunately we’ve had a couple pull out

and so we are now seeking interested Rotarians to join with us.

Duration of the trip is 2 weeks covering the southern half of Vietnam

as far North as Hue (pronounced WAY).

Participants can choose their own airline and the plan

is to be ready at Saigon Airport to fly North to Da Nang

on Sunday morning 12^th July at 08.00am.

Rotarian Dick Johnston with his Vietnamese wife “Thom”

will lead the tour and transport will be by small coaster bus

with a casual itinerary – e.g. participants deciding on a daily basis

whether they move on to, and where they stay.

3 Star hotels are proposed and estimated cost for transport

accommodation and meals is $150pp per day.

Tour will conclude in Saigon on Saturday evening 25^th July.

It is planned to visit the Swimming Teachers program

initiated by Rtn Dick Johnston when he was a member of Rotary Club of Hillarys.

See “Humanity in Motion” book pages 48,49

for information on the “Swim to Live” program.

Interested Rotarians/partners are invited to contact

Rtn Jan Horsley, President of Rotary Club of Northam

by no later than Monday 11^th May

at horsleys@bigpond.com

or phone 0477706820 for more details.
