Rotary Club of Karrinyup
Many people, and particularly Rotary Clubs throughout Western Australia,
are familiar with Rotary Club of Karrinyup
(District 9455)'
s major 40th anniversay project, the
Earbus,
which was designed to work in the Kimberley region of our state.
The
purpose built vehicle was completed and handed
over to the Earbus Foundation in
April of 2017.
Up
till now it has been hard at work in the Goldfields
and other areas but, with
the Earbus
Foundation of WA recruiting for staff
to attend interviews in
Kununurra in the February newsletter,
plans are now underway for service in the
Kimberley
Region, for which it was designed.
Maybe our friends at Rotary Club of Kununurra Inc.
can help? Know anyone suitable?
