Thanks to all those that have generously contributed to our Ukraine Appeal.
The UN has put the number of refugees fleeing
the country now at 5 million, with nearly 20 million more
displaced within Ukraine.
The crisis in Ukraine brings the upcoming World Refugee Day
into sharp focus, especially for those in Europe,
where becoming a refugee is
no longer an abstract concept.
Next week, we'll be launching our annual #OFFTHEGRID campaign,
where we encourage supporters to go without electricity
for 24hrs over the weekend preceding World Refugee Day
on 20th June.
Keep an eye out for the launch email next week
and how you can become involved.
As we conduct post-deployment evaluations in Haiti
and the Philippines following disasters, conflict
and the resulting displacement is keeping us busy
elsewhere in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Mozambique,
Nigeria, Syria, and Yemen.

Morley Rotarians, David’s family and guests celebrated
Past President and Paul Harris Fellow David Dartnall’s 50th anniversary
as a member of The Rotary Club of Morley.
A BBQ evening was held at his daughter’s residence
on Saturday evening 23rd April 2022.
David was Club
President 1977-78 and PHF recipient 1990.
He has carried out most Director roles within the Club
and more particularly he has been Club
Secretary for 13 separate years.
Prior to joining Rotary in 1972, David was a member of Apex.
These years in Apex together with 50 years in Rotary exemplifies
his dedication and commitment to “Service above
Self”.
He was also a member of the Mount Lawley Golf Club
for over 60 years being Captain 1976
and
President of the Golf Club in 1982.
In recognition of reaching this major 50 year milestone,
Club President Neil Chivers presented David
with a Paul Harris Sapphire recognition for the many years of service
to
our Club and Rotary in general.
Rotarians, family and friends stood, raised glasses
and toasted David’s tremendous achievement followed by singing
“for he’s a jolly good fellow”
It was a
wonderful celebration on a still and balmy night.

Marilyn Salley is a volunteer with Solaris Cancer Care
and was nominated by Solaris Client Services Manager, Aimee Riddell
. Aimee states that Marilyn is an integral member of the Solaris team,
where she works tirelessly as the Op Shop Manager.
Through Marilyn’s efforts over the last five years,
the shop has raised over $250,000 for Solaris,
an amazing achievement during the two years of COVID lockdowns
with a reduction in the number of shoppers during
lockdowns.
Marilyn's dedication to cancer support and helping others
see her go over and above what could be expected of her.
She has created a warm and nurturing environment
and has developed a wonderful environment for her team of volunteers.
Her contribution to the Solaris Centre is enormous
and through her efforts and hard work she has helped to support
thousands of West Australians, whose lives have been impacted
by cancer.
Dr Michael Chin's son Peter Chin, presented the award
at the recent Rotary 48th birthday dinner.
The Rotary Club of Karrinyup is delighted to recognise Marilyn
as a most
worthy recipient of the 2022 Michael Chin Humanitarian Award
We were approached by one of our own members late last year
about a wonderful device that she’d had trialling
at the Ord Valley Aboriginal Health Service - OVAHS earlier in the year,
and if Rotary might be able to assist with the acquisition
of a SmileyScope.
Smileyscope is a high tech, medical grade, virtual reality (VR) device
designed to help health care professionals to deliver vital medications
to patients who may be a little fearful of needles or procedures.
The examples Ruth gave to us were heart patient kids who needed regular
and lengthy treatments
that aren’t always comfortable for the young patients.
Smileyscope calls this digital therapeutics – virtual reality neuromodulation
. According to their website - Smileyscope's innovative
therapeutic platform underwent rigorous clinical studies,
and has changed pediatric needle practice worldwide.
It has a wide range of applications for a variety
of potentially painful treatments or fearful patients …
Virtual reality neuromodulation is now improving outcomes
from burns dressings to medical imaging.
We were delighted to have a little play with the Smileyscope
before handing it over to OVAHS CEO, Sharon Benning
and her team this week.
We're all looking forward to hearing all about the difference
this device is making to their
patients and their treatments!!

It’s been a busy day for the club!
This afternoon the Esperance Golf Club hosted the Kevin Sharpe
memorial round which included our famous fish and chips for dinner
. Kevin was a long standing member of our club
and
each year we host this in memory of him.
The green fees for today's event were donated back to our club
and as Don Patterson said “majority of the funds raised
by Rotary in Esperance
stay in
Esperance to support the community.”
To launch our Give a Damn Give a Can we had our
Be Our Guest lunch with Minister Simone McGurk in attendance.
Bob, Kim and Jinny handed out fish and chips plus cakes
for dessert to around 25 clients at St Pats
and we had a chance to have a chat with some of them.
We were welcomed by St Pats CEO Michael Piu
and St Pats COO Traci Cascioli.
. We had a lovely time and it went very well.
Congratulations to Bob for all his hard work.
Let's hope we can have this as an annual event.
