History of the Rotary
Bell
In 1922, U.S. Rotarians organized an attendance
contest;
the challenge was that the losing clubs would join
in giving the
winning club a prize.
The Rotary Club of New York City was declared the winner
and to them was awarded as a prize a bell from a popular patrol boat,
which was
placed on wood that came from HMS "Victory"
, Admiral Nelson's vessel
at the battle of Trafalgar.
Since then, the bell used in Rotary meetings
started to represent,
as on the ships, order, discipline and the time to guide
us
through the weekly hour and a half meetings.
The bell informs us with its
sound the beginning of the Rotary meeting,
at which time people present should
stand,
same as at the end, in order to salute the national and Rotary flags.
The
gavel symbolizes the authority invested in the Rotarian
elected to the highest
position in Rotary,
and through them , reminds those present of their authority.
When presidents transmit their positions to their successors
at the end of
their mandate,
they give the bell their last hit turning the gavel over
to
their successor, symbolizing the transfer of authority

It is always one of our favourite
meetings of the year -
and this week was no exception -
when we held our first
'getting to know you' introductory presentation
Hannah. Apart from a great turn-out of our members -
we were also
lucky enough to have members
of all four of Hannah's Host Families,
a couple of
her Exchange Friends
We
were all treated to a wonderful presentation on her homeland
which included a
run-down of German foods, fads, history,
sports, education, landscape and
culture -
as well as an introduction to her school and family at home.
Well
done Hannah - with an attitude and aptitude like yours
- as well as some
fabulous Host Families -
we know you're in for a very special year!

Rotary Club treasurer Mike Kirke said:
“We held the Night of Intrigue in July,
and this is the proceeds
of that event, which including a performance by
The
Filth, the Commissioner of Police Karl O'Callaghan's band”.
“It was a
masquerade ball of about 120 people.
“Youth has been our
focus in raising money for the community,
but in particular we're interested in
the mental health aspect
which has come to the fore over the last year or so.”
Club vice-president
Gareth Talbot said Rotary
had a close relationship with PYMS.
“There's different
things we can look at doing,
but that's the key thing; its an ongoing
relationship,” he said.
Ms Britton said the
fundraising conducted by Rotary
over the years had supported a number of
programs.
“We've had quite an
ongoing partnership with Rotary,
which has included their support for the Peel
Mobile Health Service,
which has also been supported by Rotary in Pinjarra,”
she said.
“Because of that
support we've been able to offer counselling
after the bushfires and get out
there into Waroona and other areas.”
Support is available by calling

Just spent a week in Vietnam helping a pretty
dedicated group
of volunteer medical and dental practitioners
and support teams
from Oz providing help to Vietnam's poor.
1050 dental patients - all children
(fillings, extractions and root canals etc),
980 Medical examinations - mostly
elderly,
and 50 successful Cataract operations -
enabling the blind to once
more be useful to their family
and regain a degree of independence
. My very
highest admiration for the AusVet Charity Foundation
and the team
