Our past President Geoff hops on a train to raise awareness for End Polio Now

We had a great time at our community walk for Mental Health Week.

Beautiful river walks, kite flying and bbq on a perfect day.

We would like to thank

Coles

for covering the cost of the BBQ.

We raised $134.70 for Mental Health Week! Thank you for the donations!

 













A past project we were VERY proud to be a part of was the installation of a 2000 litre water 

storage tank with reverse osmosis filter system in the village

 of Plei Klau in Central Highlands of Vietnam.

The well, located in the heart of the village, is now providing 

clean, filtered drinking water for about 2000 villagers.

This project would not have been possible without the support of the the
 

Sunrise Rotary Townsville

, the Ross River Rotary Club of Townsville, 

Rotary Club of West Perth

 and individual donors.










This month we had District Governor Jon Bilson visit our Club.

 A great discussion to help make Rotary great again!





















Meeting RCFB Wednesday, 21st October 

- Brightwater was the subject

Adriana Filippou attended, with Andre Rauch who made a brief presentation on Brightwater

, and Melissa Hawksley, a nutritionist, who spoke about this side of food in their facilities.

Pictured with Pres. Di Collins is Stacey, Adriana and Andre






With the aid of a Rotary Foundation District Grant, two tear drop banners and 2,000

 forget me not lapel pins were organised by the RC Freshwater Bay

 for the Forget-me-Not Memory Cafe meetings, 

with the pins to be provided to dementia sufferers.

Next phase of this project is to educate the public that wearers of the Forget-me-not lapel pin

 are people living with dementia, and in times of them becoming lost,

 or wanting to spend generously on their credit card and so on, 

extra care and attention needs to be given to them.

Angi McCluskey, her daughter in law Stacey and supporters Ronnie and Peter Baldwin, 

Laraine Civin and Mary Kelly attended the meeting of the RC Freshwater Bay 

for Angi to be presented with the two banners and 2,000 pins.

 






















Congratulations Louis Wiinschl on receiving your 

RYPEN (Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment)

 attendance certificate. Proud father Joseph and Uncle Kim

 were at the meeting with DG Colin🎈🎉🙌

 










On Sunday evening we enjoyed a few rounds of lawn bowls 

at the Inglewood Bowling Club

 and welcomed some new friends.

 While none of us will likely be going on to Olympic bowling careers,

 we did have a good time and ended the night with pizzas and a pool tournament.

Thank you to all who attended for a fun night!

It is Book Week in Australia this week and we could not think

 of a better gift than 2 pallets of great children’s books! 

A big thank you to the Dalkeith Rotary Club and Michael Bisset 

for organising a book drive all the way from Perth, Western Australia.

 Thank you to Dalkeith Primary School, Cottesloe Primary School,

 North Cottesloe Primary School, Freshwater Bay Primary School,

 Christchurch Grammar School and John XXIII College 

for your support.

 Buk bilong Pikinini is grateful for your efforts as we seek

 to restock school libraries and build Library L

earning Centres for the children of Papua New Guinea! 

Please send us a DM if you would like to help us on our mission!

 A great thank you to Sadleirs Global Logistics for assisting with transport!








1000kg of books was moved from Michaels garage to Sadleirs Global Logistics 

 We thank Sadleirs for donating the transportation leg to Brisbane where

 Buk Bilong Pikinini will then take over the approximate 5000 books 

and distribute them to primary schools and libraries in PNG.

This week we heard from Holly-ann Martin, Managing Director of 

Safe4Kids

 with a message on child protection education

. All parents and grandparents of young children need to hear this message

 and be aware of educating and protecting our most vulnerable young people.

 Holly-ann was introduced by our member John.

What is this game called??






























Preparations are underway for a new fundraising event:

 “Walk with Us” to end Polio.

Saturday 31 October 2020

Sugar Loaf Rock carpark to Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and return 

(with 4 km and 7 km options).

We are proposing a one off walk, possibly with a sausage sizzle at the end

 and some spot prizes for participants to contribute to a fun and casual setting.

We are creating sign-in sheets, doing a risk assessment,

 and we'll have a map for participants outlining the distances and course.

You may have seen lots of ads recently for a new movie on Stan,

 called I Am Woman.

  It’s the story of seventies Australian singing sensation, Helen Reddy.   

We’re pleased to tell you that “I Am Woman”  

 is this year’s Polio Movie Event, raising funds

 for Rotary’s #1 cause and we will be screening at the 

Greater Union Cinemas Morley, at 6:30pm on Sunday 22nd November.

This is a big movie and its producer says it’s best seen on the big screen. 

 The great news is that Stan has agreed for Rotary 

to have the exclusive rights to show the movie in Australian cinemas.

Shot in Sydney with a largely Australian cast and crew,

 the story traces the life of the singer / songwriter from

 the time she arrives in New York and it includes all her biggest hits.

Clearly, arranging gatherings of people in 2020

 has a few more challenges than usual! 

 However, with the appropriate measures, we can still do it. 

This year’s Polio Movie Event is being run as a tribute

 to Sir Clem Renouf, the RI President for 1978/79 from Ingham, Queensland. 

 Sir Clem, who passed away on 11th June, was a giant in Rotary’s history 

and was one of the leading figures in our fight to end polio.

So, let’s have some fun and raise lots of funds for polio!
