been completed.
and the
residents will be moving into the homes at the end of June.

have
been offered homes in the development.

If you
haven’t already seen the national ABC TV
news
coverage on the project,
please view via this link.
This is
an emotional reminder of the impact that these homes.
will
have on their residents.
Rotary WA has made an extraordinary effort in
the past few weeks,
led by
Karrinyup Rotary president-elect,
Kay Durrant, to fit out the homes.
with
furnishings and homewares as well as garden supplies.
Rotary
can also be very proud of our role.
in
bringing together other community groups.
such as
Catholic Women’s League, Soroptimists International and Zonta,
to add
more personal touches to the homes,
right
down to Vegemite and peanut paste
waiting
on the pantry shelves for the new residents.
A big thank you to all those who have
participated in helping to turn.
“My
Home” houses into comfortable and welcoming homes.

Such a wonderful evening of
celebration at our Club on Tuesday:
We welcomed 2 new members :
Sandy and Graham.
Graham ‘Macka’ Mackenzie being presented
with his
Paul Harris Sapphire Pin from Ewin Stewart
Robyn received her third sapphire Paul Harris
Fellow recognition.
Bill
Benbow was gifted a beautiful silver jug from a fellow Rotarian Phil Ledger.
What a wonderful gift of kindness and
recognition. The story is as follows:
Ted
Ledger was a member of Subiaco Rotary Club
and was the District Governor 1960-61.
He was presented with a silver mug at the end
of his Term by District.
Bill
Benbow - also a member of Subiaco Rotary Club
-
was District Governor 2004-2005….
however, District had stopped giving out any
silver mugs…
.
much to Bill’s disappointment
Ted’s
son - Phil Ledger - a current Karrinyup Rotary member
and
also, past District Governor 1991-1992-
kindly donated the silver mug to Bill –
not only because he “ missed out” previously.
but in recognition of Bill having been a
member for 50 years in Rotary.
Over 33 million children vaccinated.
against wild
poliovirus in southern Africa.
A year since Malawi confirmed.
its first case of WPV1 in 30
years,
more than 33 million children
across five southern African countries
have been vaccinated against the
virus,
with over 80 million vaccine
doses
administered over the past year.
A total of nine wild
poliovirus cases have been reported so far,
with one in Malawi and eight in neighbouring
Mozambique
since the declaration of an outbreak on 17
February 2022 in Malawi.
The last confirmed case to
date was in August 2022 in Mozambique.
The wild poliovirus in
Malawi and Mozambique originated from Pakistan,
one of the two last endemic
countries.
Concerted emergency response
launched following the outbreak in 2022.
has helped increase protection among children
through vaccines in Malawi,
Mozambique, Zambia,
Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.
The countries have also
ramped up disease surveillance.
and community mobilization to help find cases
and halt the virus.
“Southern Africa countries
have made huge efforts to bolster polio detection,
curb the spread of the virus
and ensure that children live
without the risk of infection and lifelong
paralysis,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti
, World Health Organization
(WHO) Regional Director for Africa.
“We continue to support the polio control
efforts across the region.
so that every child receives the protection
they need.”
To date, 19 vaccination
rounds have been concluded i
n the most at-risk areas
and at least five more are
planned for 2023 in the five countries.
