With a new Rotary District being created in Western Australia,
it is now time to
seek nominations of qualified members from Clubs,
to be the District Governor Nominee (DGN) from
Jan 2022.
The current District Boards of D9465 and D9455 have agreed
that the current
District Governors should jointly convene
the Nominating Committee for the selection of the District Governor
for Rotary in Western Australia 2023-24.
You
are therefore asked to consider nominating a qualified member of your Club
to
be a candidate for District Governor for 2023-24.
The role of the District Governor, the qualifications necessary
and the importance of the position are covered in the extract
of the RI Bylaws (Attachment 1).
It is vitally important for the future of Rotary in Western Australia
that the
very best candidates for DGN are nominated.
They should have a vision for Rotary in Western Australia
and be technologically adept,
as they will play a key role on the Transition Reference Group
which is
currently shaping Rotary in Western Australia.
Please
submit your nominations via email, by 26th November 2021.
It is proposed that the District Nominating Committee (DNC)
will meet during week
of the 6th December 2021.
The date/time will be set depending on the availability
of the DNC members and the candidates.
Please contact your current District Governor for more details

We invite you to join us in launching 2021's "Give a Feed" campaign, with Aggie Przybylo from Foodbank WA. We hope to roar past the 25,000 hamper, $500,000
raised and 50,000 fed milestones this festive season. In 2021 we aim to create 3,000 hampers - for families struggling to put Christmas meals
on their tables. The 2021 launch will be held at at Gloucester Park on the evening of Tuesday 16 November. Come for a casual a la carte meal from Steelo's from 6.00 pm (Bookings) .. . and enjoy the twilight trotting. The meal and launch briefing (from 7.00 pm) will be
held in Quinnys Room (with a quiet drink to celebrate). The “Give A Feed” project provides Christmas food hampers, to vulnerable people, across WA, struggling to afford enough food to eat. Foodbank WA helps bulk-buy produce and distribute the hampers. Bulk-buying means hampers with retail values two to three times the donation can be created. Give a Feed involves "wholesale" generosity. Every club and member can participate and help promote this program in public, and across their business, professional and community networks. It is a fantastic way of 'paying it forward' by encouraging corporate giving. It can be a great Christmas recognition of staff, customers, contractors and
suppliers, family and friends. We hope you
can attend.

support and work in making this year’s Rotary Spring Fair a success
. Robyn provided a lovely meal to end the day
. Great team work.
Shelley, Gail and Joyce, Heather, Keith & Ian,
Colin and John all showing they have the Snap, Send, Solve’ app and some the
t-shirts.
At the Attadale Rotary meeting last week a very interesting talk
was done by the Club’s very own Rotary member Keith McNaught.
Keith spoke about ‘Snap, Send, Solve which is an App for reporting
non criminal issues to a variety of authorities.
When introducing Keith, Gail McCulloch spoke about Keith’s considerable talents
and experience, which were on show as Keith shared the success using the app.
It will be a very valuable tool
throughout the State for everyone to have on their phones.
With our regular venue unavailable tonight due to a Melbourne Cup function,
members gathered instead to try some of our Club's fundraising wines.
To buy our wines, with proceeds going to the End Polio Now campaign

Invaluable advice was provided by Phil Rowson
on all matters military related to Fortress Fremantle
in WWII.
Special thanks to Adrian Watts, Spearwood Sheet Metal Fabricators
for his outstanding generosity and tradesmanship
in building
the 1.5 ton 16 metre long gun.
A historic gift to Rockingham locals and visitors
alike.

it!
