Paul Harris Fellow

Rotary Club of Pinjarra

Presentation of Paul Harris Fellow to Rob Davis.

Congratulations to Rob Davis who was awarded

Paul Harris Fellow at our Club Meeting last week.

In announcing the award, President Willie Brown

spoke about Paul Harris, the aims and objectives of Rotary,

and how Rob fulfilled those

, having undertaken a broad range of roles

since joining the club in 2004.

Rob has been involved in most committees,

has been a Director of these,

and was Club President in 2015-2016

. In an unusual presidential year,

he played a major leadership role in supporting the efforts

of the club regarding fund raising to support

the farmers and community members

who were devastated by the bushfires.

Rob took on financial management and accountability roles

with our Rotarians,

and was the ‘go to’ for maintaining current information,

liaising with our Rotary District,

and providing feedback as a speaker

for many of the clubs who donated funds.

President Willie invited DG Linda McLerie

to assist in presenting Rob with the Paul Harris Fellow Award.

Convicts for a Cause

THE Rotary Clubs of Perth and Mt Lawley

helped raise a record $100,000 for several charities

at Convicts for a Cause at Fremantle Prison this month.

Former WA Chief Scientist Lyn Beazley

and Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt were among 60 inmates

who were bailed out while Rotary of Perth (ROP) member

and Senator Dean “The Judge” Smith set bail for the “baddies”.

The proceeds will be shared between

the Rotary Club of Mt Lawley, Cystic Fibrosis WA,

Diabetes Research WA

and ROP’s Reflections Through Reality Foundation

that funds research to find a cure for mesothelioma.

Professor Beazley, who is patron

of the Reflections Through Reality Foundation,

was bailed out for $500

and said she had a little vice regal help from Governor Kerry Sanderson

“I was thrilled to be part of such a worthy event,”

Prof Beazley, whose grandchildren sold hand-made bracelets

to contribute to her fundraising tally, said.

“It is such terrific way to support charities that,

through world leading research and support programs,

are changing lives for the better – now and into the future.”

Rotary Club of Attadale

The Rotary Club of Attadale's major International project this year

is to assist The School of St Yared's in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia.
Here is some interesting facts on Ethiopia.
Ethiopia has a population of approx 94 million

and is one of the twenty poorest Countries in the World

but with one of the fasting growing economies.

Their are about 4 million Orphans in Ethiopia

mainly due to famine and HIV.
Last week Attadale Rotarian Mick Donnes gave a presentation

on The School of St Yared in Ethiopia to the

Rotary Club of Mundaring.

Their Club members showed a keen interest

and will consider

at their next Board meeting the Attadale Club's request

to assist with funding.
Colin McCulloch and Mal Bennett accompanied Mick

for an interesting night out.

It is always enlightening to visit other clubs

and see the different ways of doing things

and also getting some good ideas.

A great idea at Mundaring was their use

of a beautifully bound Visitors Book.
