Thank you to everyone who supported this event!

President Ian Kremmer with club guests

Over the last year, we've collected second-hand textbooks 

and new stationary to donate to children in need 📚📒✏

 We intended on donating these materials to a charity

 to help disadvantaged children, however due to unforseen circumstances

 that was no longer possible 😔

 So instead we donated the materials to two schools that 

were going to use them to benefit their students:

 Mercy College - Koondoola

 and St Munchin's Catholic School - Gosnells! 🎓

Joint Meeting

Celia Hammond, the Federal Member for Curtin, addressed

 a combined meeting of the Nedlands, Scarborough and Cambridge Clubs

 An audience of 65 heard her describe her life before politics.

The Rotary Club of Rockingham delivered a truck load of medical equipment 

to Rafiki Surgical Missions to help with their work in Tanzania.

Established in 2004, Rafiki Surgical Missions is a non-profit charity 

that sends teams of qualified surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses

 and allied therapists to Tanzania to provide

 free surgical treatment and medical training.

The organisation raises funds in Australia and Tanzania

 to support professional surgical teams who travel to Tanzania from Australia.

 The teams and other volunteers work in collaboration

 with Tanzanian Hospitals,

 Governments and other stakeholders to provide

 surgical treatment and surgical teaching.

A big thank-you to Rory at Ritz Party Hire for the use of the truck.

Dr Christine Cooper,

 currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Environment

 and Agriculture at Curtin University was the Guest Speaker at Attadale Rotary Club 

 Her area of expertise is in vertebrate ecophysiology, with a 

particular emphasis on native Australian birds and mammals 

with her research being a combination of both laboratory and field studies.
Water balance is particularly critical for mammals and birds

 inhabiting arid zones and areas undergoing habitat modification.
Dr Cooper's talk was very interesting as she introduced information 

that was new to most of those present and many questions followed.
Great fellowship and food are always enjoyed at Attadale Rotary meetings

 and pictured are Kerry and Abby Parsons, Jim Calcei, Rod Rate and Mal Bennett.
John Sharp, President Gail McCulloch and Colin McCulloch 

are pictured with the Guest Speaker Dr Christine Cooper.

It was wonderful to have several VIP's with us at the last meeting.

 Thanks for attending and making our day that bit better.

Adorable Thai Grandma Sings to Her Chihuahua Dog

A lovely grandmother from Thailand sings

 to her adorable Chihuahua dog a beautiful song.

 This is the quintessential song of refugees 

in 1980’s Thai refugee camps

. “More Than I Can Say” is a song written by Sonny Curtis and Jerry Allison,

 both former members of Buddy Holly’s band the Crickets.

 They recorded it in 1959 soon after Holly’s death

 and released it in 1960. 

Their original version hit No. 42 on British Record Retailer Chart in 1960

. It has been notably performed by singers Bobby Vee,

 Leo Sayer, and Sammy Kershaw.
