Rotary Elizabeth Quay has embraced a number of cycling events;
 from social cycling gatherings around the river, 
to some of us cycling in the 120km  MSWA charity ride.
 And then there is our ongoing collaboration with Dismantle,
 a leading social enterprise in Perth, 
which uses hands-on activities to connect with and
 mentor at-risk youth to enable them to become valued
 and valuable members of society.
Dismantle’s flagship initiative is called ‘BikeRescue’,
 a youth development program that teaches young people
 all about bike mechanics and mentors them to development social skills,
 build confidence and connect to educational and vocational opportunities.
 Most cyclists will know of the Bike Dr,
 but you may not know that Dismantle created Bike Dr in 2014.
 It’s now a standalone business which continues to support Dismantle
 and their social programs by providing work experience 
and structured trainee ship opportunities for Bike Rescue graduates.









My Homes Project

 and furnishing of small homes for the homeless

 for at least 6 months to use in these homes.

preparing for the morning






























Our club put on a BBQ for riders in the South West Bike Trek,
 delighted to do our bit to support this most worthwhile event.



















Last week the RYLA camp happened at Bickley Recreation Camp.
 RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is an amazing 5 day camp
 for young people aged 18-25. 
They learn about goal-setting, team work, and personal leadership.
 The program has been designed around a TAFE Leadership Certificate 1
 that the campers receive upon completion.
Our club was so pleased to sponsor Ali from our partner school,
 the Intensive English department at Cyril Jackson College.
 According to some of the other campers, Ali was a little quiet on day 1
, English being his fourth language,
 but came out of his shell pretty quickly!
Ali won the "Funniest Learning Moment" award.
 When they were on a bush hike, his team came across a dugite snake 
on the path. Everyone stepped back except Ali, who said
 "It's so cute, can I pick it up?" 😲🐍
We've had the pleasure of meeting Ali a few times now
 and he is a truly wonderful young person who is going to achieve so much. 
Ali is a big believer in moving outside his own comfort zone
 and we can't wait to see where the future takes him!

A huge thank you to the team at Cyril Jackson for their support 
in promoting the program to their students and a big well done
 to the team of Rotary volunteers who develop the camp and run it every year.










Congratulations to our recent RYLA participant Kai Best
 on being awarded Youth Citizen of the Year for the City of Kwinana. 
We are looking forward to having the pleasure of Kai's company
 in the near future when he visits our club 
to speak about his experiences at RYLA.












Lovely night! Lots of $$ raised for Rotary
 and Champion Bay Surf Life Saving Club..
🍷 Great job Deb & Mark! Dead Reds was another success! 👏
 Thank you to everyone who donated raffle and auction items 🤩 
These people looked pretty thrilled to receive them!














Meeting last evening at the RC Freshwater Bay our speaker 
was The Hon. Nicholas Hasluck who spoke about a memoir he has published
 called 'Beyond the Equator'.
 In this book Nick tells of life in London in the 1960.
Visitors attending the meeting were Judge John Reilly from Calgary, Canada,
 'friends of the RCFB' from Singapore Sheila Cheng and LAU En Seng, 
Sally Anne Hasluck 
and new member who will be inducted into the Club
 next Wednesday, Ronniet Orlando.
After the meeting, guests, together with members
 had an enjoyable meal at Bellissiomo's Italian Restaurant in Claremont.
 A great meeting and evening which was enjoyed by all.















Last night we got 2020 off to a great start at The Westin
 with our Presidents Cocktail and Bushfire Fundraiser.
 We had a very interesting guest speaker
 in Darren Klemm AFMS the DFES Commissioner. 
We met the 2020/21 Board, announced a whopping $41k raised
 by Vienna Pops NYE Gala Concert. 
Path of Hope announced a Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme for the Path of Hope Ball
. We have a Chinese New Year lunch on the 7th next Friday
 Lunch and a year full of events and helping our community.
 Perth Rotary 2020 is going to be packed full of fun and fellowship.












The Rotary Club of Osborne Park worked with other Rotary Clubs in Perth
 to contribute funds and arrange a Christmas dinner for the homeless.
 The event was a great success with lots of people,
 a wholesome meal, free coffees and ice creams from the kind vendors
. The lunch was organised by the Rotary Homelessness We Care project
 (HWCP on Facebook)
. Well done HWCP!!













One of the enjoyable experiences of belonging to a
 community-based organisation like rotary
 is being able to make new friendships and have a lot ☺️.
Our club whilst raising thousands of dollars for many good causes
 with a lot of hard work also finds the time to enjoy each other's company
 and do things we may not otherwise do.

Last night we had a great time playing barefoot bowls
. Whilst there were not any Commonwealth Games athletes playing
 it was a great afternoon followed by enjoyable dinner
 as guests of the Warwick Bowling Club.
