What a moment of celebration, awarding 
Honorary Life Membership to Annie Wearn,
 a person that has been at ROC from the onset 😊👏

Annie started her Rotary journey at the Rotary Club of Matilda Bay
 and had a huge impact; in fact, the year they were President, 
they won the District President of the Year Award.

Annie maintain an active Rotary life at Matilda bay 
and then took a brief time away
. She didn’t get much of a break as she
 were quickly brought back to the 
newly formed Rotary of Crawley where her passion for youth
 was instantly focused
 on the school link program. 
Annie become the driving force behind ROC’s relationship 
with Kiara College and the Four Way Speaking Test.

In the last few years Annie have taken a step back 
for some well-deserved rest,
 but she and her partner, Geoff,
 have maintained active social connections 
to the club and our members.
 Annie is the true embodiment of the Rotarian ideals
 and will be an absolute ROC star forever.

Congratulations Annie! 



















Congratulations to Ron and Roma 
 as they both received sapphires to add to their Paul Harris Fellowship Awards.












Congratulations to our newest Paul Harris Fellows
and Mark Chaston.
 Well deserved

Mandurah teenage support charity 
running on generous donations 
during COVID-19





Peel Passages Youth Engagement Hub manager Jade Gillespie
 said the virus had been particularly challenging for the organisation, 
but had also brought out the best in the local community.
"The requests for emergency relief from Passages 
has really increased over the last three months," she said.



"It's reassuring and refreshing to get donations from young people, 
because they're the ones who can spread the message
 between their friends about who we are and what we do."
The Hub, which is a joint venture between the St Vincent de Paul Society WA
 and the Rotary Clubs of Perth and Mandurah,
 is in need of everything from pantry food items to shoes, 
toiletries, tents, sleeping bags, pillows and backpacks.















Was great to see so many of our club members involved in the
which raised funds for local charity
. We exceeded our target of $5000 to raise a total of $5337! 
Not only that but it gave us an opportunity to promote

We had members of the club riding, providing support and supporting the team
 by waving us off and donating to the fundraiser. 
THANKS to you all especially the team at
for making it happen and all the support crew which helped the team cycle 
over 700km's across 5 days
. An estimated $12,500+ was also pumped into the wheatbelt economy
 by everyone involved over the whole trip.
 Go WA!

















Another milestone from the Shed we support.
