All Paul Harris Fellows, please stand.
If you have yet to do so,
please see our 2022 Give a Feed festive
season campaign video at:
Give a Feed provides Foodbank
WA with food hampers
to West Australian families in need.
To donate: www.giveafeed.com.au
In 2022 Give A Feed set a
goal of providing 3,000 hampers
so those families can
celebrate the festive season and not go hungry.
To reach our new 4000 target
we ask for your generous support,
please Give A Feed today and help us share
this message in the festive spirit.
Tens of thousands of West
Australian families will struggle
to put food on the table this Christmas.
Hunger is a growing crisis in
WA with at least half a million people struggling
to afford enough food to eat in the past year.
Sadly, more than 100,000 are children.
The 2022 Give a Feed festive
season campaign now underway
is a key Rotary service initiative
that all WA Rotarians can actively promote
with passion and vigour.
It's a great way to advocate
corporate gifting
right across the professional and business
community,
with family, friends, colleagues, staff,
customers and suppliers etc.
Your kind donation of $30
will provide a Give A Feed hamper
filled with festive food for a family of four
to enjoy.
Our hampers are packed by
volunteers and distributed by Foodbank WA
to ensure they reach those who are most
vulnerable in our community.
To donate, go to
and give hope to a WA family
in need this Christmas.
Thank you and Season’s
Greetings

Escalating Flood

escalating flood crisis
by maintaining our National Flood Appeal

of donated funds in assisting the flood
affected communities.

2022 - a year where Interplast made its first journey
back to the
Pacific since 2019.
The three-year period since Covid-19 saw travel impacted,
patient
waiting lists grow,
and conditions left untreated
. In November, our team of surgeons, nurses, and anaesthetists
made their way to Labasa and Suva
in Fiji
and met with patients waiting for
life-changing surgery.
In this month's news story,
we meet Moceiwei and his mum Loata from Labasa in Fiji.
We are privileged to share our patient stories
and the very real impact of Interplast's work.

a long-term valued Community Partner of Como Rotary.
Last week they held their annual Celebration

with many deserving Certificates of

handed out to the resident women,
having successfully completed many self-development

Also, the Gala Day Award donation was made,
which represents the proceeds of the annual
Gala Day held at Boronia,

We were advised that since the start of the
Boronia Gala Days in 2008,
a total of over $308,000 has been handed out
to many local charity groups,
which is an outstanding achievement due to the
collective great work
by many women at Boronia over the years
.
As shown here, this year Dress for Success Perth
were the selected beneficiary, with a cheque
for $39,384 presented.
This
is an amazing result, and wonderful support of the local community
