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
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 helped to buy a car!
We are so pleased to see such an incredible outcome
! 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
We congratulate Nour,

come and say hi

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.
. 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!

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

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

them charter in the near future.
