Since 1962, generations of
young people have discovered.
the power of Service Above
Self through Interact,
all while having fun along the way.
The first Interact Club
was certified on 5 November 1962
at Melbourne High School, in Florida, USA.
A year later, Interact numbered 177 clubs in
24 countries.
. Today, there are
approximately 14,900 clubs in 145 countries.
The current generation of
Interactors channel their enthusiasm and ideas.
into projects with remarkable impact.

Continuing the celebrations of
National Volunteer Week

Club along with friends were down at
Darling Range Wildlife Shelter WA

planted trees 
,
which otherwise would’ve taken
weeks,
shared volunteering our stories,
and got a few happy snaps with
the kangaroos 
being rehabilitated at the
shelter.
This is our 2nd year helping out at Darling Range

collaboration with our Club.

Our
very dedicated International Director,
Kim Larsen & Como Rotary supporter John
McMaugh
have just returned from a week in Bali to
inspect.
our recent joint water projects at various
Bali villages.
These
projects all completed in partnership with our long-term friends.
at Rotary Club of Bali Taman (RCBT).
Our
first successful joint water project was completed with RCBT back in 2007!
Kim
gave a comprehensive presentation at our meeting last night.
on a water project completed last year
,
and the plans for another,
to save women and children carrying water 5kms
daily
up
a steep hill over a rough track, back to their village.
Kim
signed an MOU with RCBT for the project to proceed in the near future.
All works undertaken by local village labour
with strict maintenance plans.
included
to ensure longevity of the project over many years.
The
local villages are highly appreciative of Rotary’s support in this way.
Como
Rotary in motion in overseas communities!
Great
work Kim & John.
Last night our guest speaker
filled the room.
with her enthusiasm and zest for adventure!
Shiloh Joyce recently accepted a
scholarship on the tall ship Leeuwin.
. Her maiden voyage entailed 8
days, 7 nights at sea.
on a working sailing ship with 600 square
metres
of space with 42 people on board.
There were some rough seas and
lots of swaying round.
and new words to learn such as
helm, aft, point of sail and bosun.
A wonderful experience for a
year 9 student to have.
Shiloh thanked Rotary for helping her to
achieve her dreams.
Shiloh wants to study and
achieve her dream of becoming.
a marine scientist. Keep
reaching for the stars Shiloh!
Thank you Mandurah ND Centre & Au-some
Women
for sharing your story with our local community.
Wow.
What a night! Sincere thanks to
for
the invitation to present on autism and neurodiversity.
we met Aiva, a year 11 autistic/ND girl who
spoke.
with such passion, honesty, and enthusiasm
about
what it means to identify as neurodivergent (autism/adhd)
and
the need for more research, understanding.
and
awareness of autism, especially in girls and women.
Then,
to my surprise, I was the recipient of a donation!
Isabella you are a champion.
When 12-year-old Isabella heard
we needed volunteers
for Give a Damn Give a Can she put her hand
up.
She personally knocked on every
door in Oakover Street
asking for food donations.
She even had bags made up with
her personal message.
and a pink ribbon.
Here she is pictured with her
food collection.
More was received later.
A wonderful result - thanks so
much Isabella.

Debra and Fred attended the City
of Cockburn volunteers breakfast this morning.
Thank you so much to
Rotary Club of Perth City East
for welcoming our members to your breakfast
meeting
this morning with
journalist and commentator Ben Harvey.
Ben shared some very interesting
stories.
about his time in the media.
, most of which we are sworn to
secrecy about,
but a key message he presented was that the
news.
we consume today is very
different from the news of decades past.
Oh, and he also asked us to be a
little gentler on journos.
whose stories have spelling and grammar errors
in them.
.. We will try Ben but...
