Dear Warwick,

 

Thank you so much for yesterdays meeting. I appreciated joining 

the discussion with your team.

 

There is much we can do for ‘people on the ground’ 

by ‘people on the ground.’

 

As promised:

 

Contact in Perth for Ukrainian DPs placements

 and support is Roma Popadynec

Roma Popadynec

  Roma.ukiaidperth@gmail.com

 

Roma is very organised, hard working and very capable in her work

 of placements and DP support.

 She does however find Red Cross difficult to contact which is problematic,

 as they are the vehicle through which the DPs 

can finally access financial support, medical…

 

I am the Western Australian Ukrainian historian

 whose work was based upon the last Ukrainian genocide 

by Stalin during 1932-1933. 

It is called the Holodomor (death by starvation).

 

I am a retired academic but still write and publish but,

 I now write and publish children’s soft histories of Ukraine and her people.

 

FYI I am about to begin a new research project taking the eye witness

 interviews of our DPs and their experience

 of the invasion of Ukraine and genocide. 

I have attached the proposal for your interest, for which I am seeking funds

. I am distressed I am about to begin another such study.

 I did not believe this would be occurring again.

 My first Holodomor research and interviews for my 

Doctorate was harrowing enough.

Rotary in WA RYPEN a Huge Success

The District 9465 RoCOM team held our

 first Rotary in WA RYPEN

 camp on the weekend of May 20-22.

 The camp was a huge success, as clubs from both districts came together

 to sponsor teenagers aged 14-17 to attend

 a full-on weekend of fun and learning.

Our initial group of 36 candidates saw a few changes due to COVID

, but our policy of reserving places on later RYPEN camps

 for COVID absentees worked well. 

Those unable to attend will come to later RYPENs when it is safe to do so.

Our facilitators did a great job delivering a safe and exciting program

 under head facilitator Cora’s guidance. 

  Chair Roy and my fellow RoCOM team members Ian and Marilyn

 provided excellent support along the way.

Well done everyone who contributed to a successful RYPEN event.

Angela introduced our guest speaker Hannah Watkins

 who attends Year 11 at Aveley Secondary College.

 Hannah attended the RYPEN camp last year and thanked the club

 for sponsoring her. 

The time there and the facilitators definitely helped improve her confidence,

 so much so that she would not have been able to speak

 in front of this group of people before attending!













Elliot Panos    Smarter Freeways










Thank you Lotterywest and Volunteering WA for making this event possible




































Congratulations to Aleeyah-Ann Smith 

- this year's recipient of the Rotary of Crawley Scholarship

. Our long term partners have again been very generous 

in their support of our students.

 Mrs Vause, Senior School Associate Principal,

 presented the award on behalf of Rotary.

 





















Last night our club headed out to dinner at Teen Challenge

 for a delicious dinner served by the students.

 We heard from Steve Hall the executive director of Teen Challenge

 and Gerry Harp the local General Manager talking about their fantastic program.

 We also got to meet the lovely Paul who is about to graduate the program on Friday

 about how he ended up at Teen Challenge and just how much his life has changed 

by being in a place like Teen Challenge has brought hope back into his life. 

We really look forward to working with Teen Challenge in the future.

 



















Thank you to those who assisted at the Wood Raffle and Sausage Sizzle, 

on election day, 

John Pepall, Peter & Christine Molinari, Kevin Newman, Danny McGrath,

 Lesley Trimming, Ray Ford, Chris & Annie Richardson,

 Russel Thomson, and Ray & Julie for their hospitality afterwards.

















This morning at 9.30am we will be meeting with a number of very generous volunteers

 at the Telstra offices in Geraldton to once again man the phones 

in readiness for our Radio Auction Pre-Calls.

To the many individuals and business’ who have generously supported

 our Radio Auction year after year,

 we thank you very much for your valued contributions enabling

 us to raise over $36,000.00 last year.

 It is because of your support that we are able to make

 a positive impact supporting communities

 both local and beyond over the past 31 years.

Welcome to Visitors 24 May 2022

We always love visitors and, after meeting on zoom for several weeks,

 we were delighted this week to welcome John and Hilary Thraves from 

Swanage & Purbeck Rotary Club 

seen here with President Peter. 

Their club is located on the south coast of England

 near the Isle of Wright. John and Hilary are currently 

visiting their daughter and family

 in Doubleview and have also visited our Stirling Farmers Market. 

They told us a little about the activities of their Rotary club,

 which include a Christmas Market and a Summer Fete








Welcome our guests from Como Rotary

Tim and Heike Davey

Pam and Colin Levitt

Very interesting to hear them speak about their experiences

 with Rotary and their adventures.

Some of Rotary projects involved Rypen, Camp Opportunity, 

Colins lawn mower ride around Australia in 2016,

 raising money for Mens Health.

 Water to villages project in Bali, packing and sending goods to Timor.

 The containers used for this cost $3000 to $4000, 

then added costs to send to Timor.

 Moora St James Op Shop assists with supplying clothes for the containers.

Thank you Moora St James Op Shop.

Thank you to Moora and surrounds who donate clothing.

Tim, Heike, Pam and Colin enjoy their travelling around, 

visiting Rotary Clubs along the way.

 This is their networking, meeting fellow Rotarians

 and helps with their volunteer activities.

Como's major fundraiser is the car show held yearly at Wesley College

. This raises around $16,000.

Thanks to Tim, Heike, Pam and Colin for a very entertaining Rotary night.
