Great news for all Australians who would love to attend a Convention.

The convention is back Down Under 

The city of Melbourne has been provisionally selected 

as the site for the 2023 Rotary International convention.

Congratulations to the whole bid team who showcased 

the best of what Melbourne has to offer.

Our WA Rotaract Representative Sam and WA DRR elect Eeshwar 

were two of the 60 Rotaractors from around the world

 selected to attend the International Assembly,

 alongside all the District Governor Elects.

 This was an experience of a lifetime

 and they met so many inspiring individuals,

 including Tim from ShelterBox

Rotary Club of Margaret River

The Rotary Club of Margaret River recently had the pleasure

 of hosting a farewell dinner for retiring CEO

 of the Augusta Margaret River Shire, Gary Evershed.

The Club applauded Gary's leadership

 of our 'sea-change, tree-change' community

 where the main economic driver is tourism,

 but where there are many competing priorities.

Rotary Clubs around the world have the opportunity

 to recognise those who make significant contributions

 to their communities

. They do this by donating to The Rotary Foundation to fund

 its ongoing global educational and humanitarian projects.

By contributing in this way the Rotary Club of Margaret River w

as authorised to officially recognise Gary’s inspiring

 and transformational leadership in our own community

 by awarding him a Paul Harris Fellowship..

We had a great time last night at the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards

 with our two sponsored young adults Jasmine and Jolene. 

These 5-day leadership camps are inspirational!

 If you, or you know of someone who would be interested in coming next year,

 let us know as we are keen to support the future of young people.

Rotary Club of Karrinyup

A great night at the Perth International Airport last night

 as we welcomed home Jasmin from her 12 months in Spain 

 as a Rotary Youth Exchange student.

We also saw off Alicia who is heading to Norway 

 for her exchange.

 Alicia will arrive to -3 and snow, a slight difference

 to the 40 degree heat wave that she has just left.

Both girls had family and friends in attendance 

- and it was just terrific that their paths crossed 

for just enough time for a photo together

Rotary Club of Cockburn

We said farewell to Miella last night, our outbound Youth Exchange student

. Off to Spain for a year, enjoy and have a great year,

 we look forward to hearing about all your amazing adventures.
