Did you know that the majority of Rotarians join Rotary
because a Rotarian invited them?
Join DG Ineke and her team as we explore how you can share
your unique Rotary story without getting tongue-tied
or leaving out the invitation bit!
This will be an enjoyable afternoon where we will learn
from each other as well as from others who do this very well.
Come along if you have something to learn,
something to share or a mix of the two!
It is all on Zoom, to ensure you can attend in the comfort
of your own home and be ‘covid-safe’.
You are also welcome to get together with others
and join in as a group.
We will be finishing with a
BYO sundowner.
This is the first of our Adventure series this year.
We are very excited to get started! See you there!
3:00pm - 6:00pm

Denmark Bushfire
relief grant is now complete.
Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) provided
a grant of $100,000 to the Rotary Club of Albany Port
for recovery after the Denmark bush fire.
PDG Ray Hirst and PP Bill Hollingworth managed the distribution
of the funds on behalf of the Rotary Club of Albany Port.
Replacement fencing materials, installed by Blaze Aid,
consumed part of the grant and after discussion with Matt Sivyer
and Heather Moyle of the Denmark Community Foundation
it was decided to pool resources and provide relief
for a wider range of purposes.
RAWCS approved this proposal and 14 different requests totaling
about $75,000 were funded from the RAWCS grant.
More funding could always have been put to good use such
was the extent of the losses.
Ray reports that Heather Moyle provided tremendous support
in the coordination and selection of projects.
A great example of community
cooperation.
Our club recently received a generous District Grant of $4000
toward further Water and Hygiene projects for the great work
that the Assisi Centre for Social Justice in Uganda performs.
This grant enables us to donate $8000 to three important projects
that provide permanent fresh water storage for students
and end the need to cart water every day, leading to improved education
and health outcomes.
Plenty
of happy faces.
