Rotary Polio Movie Event 2020
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 running an event

 at the Sun Pictures Cinema, at 6:30pm on 27th 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.

 








 









Join us in Vic Park on Thursday 3 December for an evening

 of food and fun with Peter Rowsthorn …

 and support families in need this Christmas.








































The Rotary Club of Perth and the Rotary Club of Melville 

on behalf District 9455 and District 9465 have joined together

 to create an event in Western Australia that celebrates 

the First 100 Years of Service of Rotary in Australia –

 The Centennial Gala Ball

 

It’s a special time in the history of Rotary in Australia and NZ

 as we celebrate the First 100 years of Service in 2021. 

 

In 1921, four Rotary Clubs were created in

 Melbourne, Auckland, Wellington and Sydney. 

 From there, Rotary and Rotaract clubs were created everywhere 

across Australia and NZ with the Perth Rotary Club

 being the first club to charter in Western Australia on 15 April 1927. 

 

As Australians, we all share a centenary in 2021 

and therefore it is fitting that we should all come together 


and celebrate the common legacy that we as Rotarians leave behind. 

Think about the impact we have made in this State and this Country! 

 Lets shout out loud and celebrate! 

 

There are limited tickets available for this premier celebration of Rotary in WA. 

 Therefore, I urge you to get in contact with your fellow club members,

 organise your table and book on line as soon as possible,

 otherwise I fear you will miss out.  

 

Tickets are available at

http://bit.ly/R100Ball 

 

There will be further communication from DG Jon Bilson

 on behalf of District 9455 in relation to an inaugural award

 for Excellence in Rotary Service to Western Australia.

  This award will be incorporated into this celebration of Rotary WA. 

 

Should you have any queries in relation to the above event 

or require assistance in booking your tickets, 

please don't hesitate to contact me direct 

- president@rotaryperth.org.au

John Tuffin, President of Rotary Club of Booragoon,

 received three awards from our District Governor, Colin Burns.

 The awards represent sustained and significant contributions

 to making a difference in the world.

 In particular, our little club has made one of the highest contributions per member

 in our district to Rotary's fight to eliminate the scourge of polio worldwide.

We are so pleased to see such an incredible outcome 

Broome White Ribbon Day Gala

! Our Club was very touched to receive such a heartfelt thank you 

from the local Marnja Jarndu Women’s Refuge this week and

 we are proud to support a safer community, both near and now afar 🌟

“The vehicle was handed over to the refuge yesterday at 4pm.

 We are very grateful and this could not have been possible without the

 generous support from the White Ribbon Gala Event 

 We would like to thank you all from the Board, 

all the staff and clients of Marnja Jarndu.

 We will now be able to include support to vulnerable women and children

 by offering outreach to the remote aboriginal communities within the West Kimberley.”

 - Desma, Manager Marnja Jarndu Women’s Refuge


Safe travels Marnja Jarndu

We got up early, packed our bags and set up our stall at the Bunbury Markets 🙌😁
It was great to have the opportunity to chat to the people in our community

 about our current projects and raise some funds at the same time 💬
We'll be back at the Bunbury Markets on the 5/12 

so if you missed us today, come and say hi 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️
Thank you 

The Bunbury Markets

 for having us










👏 How great is it to be able to hand over a cheque for $2,000 to 

Bright Stars Family Day Care

?! 💸 We truly hope this brings some joy to the educators who work

 so hard every day supporting Geraldton families - 

especially during the uncertain times at the beginning of the COVID pandemic 🦠

 Keep up the amazing work

 
























RF Ambassadorial Scholar Justin Hewett, who was sponsored in 2011-12

 to undertake a Masters in Chinese Law at Tsinghua University in Beijing

 told us about his time in China,as well as information on the country.
Justin also told of his professional life since, which included working

 in China, Perth and London for Clifford Chance.

 He is still working in banking, however, in a law firm 

which has more regular hours, allowing time for family.
November is Rotary Foundation month and Justin 

is an excellent example of an exemplary Scholar,

 who which hard work took opportunity which came his way 

and has excelled in every area.
He is fluent in Mandarin, married to Angie

 and four months ago welcomed first bub Olivia into the family.
Well done Justin. 

We are all very proud of you and delighted you are achieving so well.










For many years

Rotary Club of Karrinyup

Wheelchairs for Kids

. This week our International service team organised a very inspiring visit

 to their fabulous new workshop at Wangara.

 It was wonderful to see so much progress since our last visit!

A momentous occasion for the prospective 

Swan Rotaract Club

. Whilst the Club may be in its early days Tom and Rotaractors

 have been busy with many projects this past year.

 Last year they assisted us with our Harvey Norman VIP Night sausage sizzle

 and now that they have a bank account (many thanks to Don!

) we are delighted to present a cheque for $250

We can’t wait to see the future of the Swan Rotaract Club 

and can’t wait to see them charter in the near future.

We still have places available for RYLA in January 2021

 that we need to fill in order to make the camp a success.

 but has yet to do so, please get the application 

to us as soon as possible to that they don't miss out!

or submit online at https://forms.gle/Xseqmn3c6FUYxX6n9.

 

To assist with our planning, please do let me know 

if you have an application on the way so I can make sure
