More from the Clubs

Rotary Club of Mosman Park

In 2011 our Club was invited to join a group recently formed 

by the Hillarys Rotary Club which is involved in educational and health programs in East Timor.

 The group then consisted of Rotary Clubs of Hillarys, Applecross, 

Jersey (UK) and the Hillarys Soroptimist Club.

In the past twelve months, with your help with funding, we have:

 built a toilet block at the Hatolia Primary School

 built a dormitory for the secondary school in Hatolia

We are currently involved in a primary teacher training program

 at Baboe Leten in the Atsabe District which has 10 teachers and 270 children.

The primary teacher training program is a proven program 

that has been ongoing for the past 4 or 5 years at schools in the Ermera District.

 Later in the year we are planning a similar program in

 another Primary School in the Atsabe District.

We are being assisted in this program by the Friends of Ermera, 

a volunteer group in Casey, Victoria 

who have all the necessary local contacts

 and knowledge of the education policies and personnel in East Timor.

The Bentley/Curtin Rotary Club is coordinating the collection and loading into containers

 of WA Education Department surplus equipment for shipping to Dili 

for distribution to schools in the Ermera and Atsabe Districts

 through their contacts in Dili.

 We are currently endeavouring

to source a sponsor to cover the cost of freight from Fremantle.

Rotary Club of Karrinyup

In President Bob's absence, PE Peter Durrany

 welcomed Ann Mitchell this evening,

 who spoke eloquently about the magnificent Kimberley Dental Team

Kimberley Dental Team (KDT) – toothpaste drive

The Kimberley Dental Team is a joint project of the 

Rotary clubs of Perth Heirisson and Kununurra 

to provide desperately needed dental treatment 

to remote indigenous communities in the Kimberley.

An important component is preventive treatment and oral hygiene.

If the team can provide toothpaste to all families who are seen in the program

 it will be a big step in reducing the incidence of dental disease.

KDT can source freebie toothpaste in small sample tubes from the dental trade,

 but feel that normal size tubes are more appropriate to the family situation

 and are better for dispensing by the 180 teachers involved in the school program.

(42 schools approximately 4,000 children)

To this end a toothpaste drive involving D9455 clubs is planned.

This involves a toothpaste collection at a designated club meeting 

where members bring in tube(s) of toothpaste 

which the club boxes for collection or drop off.

Requirements are: –

·      Full-size tubes only.

·      Avoid desensitising toothpaste

 (e.g. Sensodyne) – offensive taste.

Collection (3 options)

·      Drop-off at Owen Homoeopathics  

443 Great Eastern Highway Redcliff (near Airport)

·      Drop-off at District Conference

·      Drop-off at City Toyota (Wayne Smith) 

63 Adelaide Terrace Perth.

·      Contact Wayne Smith for collection 0417917589 

E-mail waynes@citytoyota.net.au

·      Give them to your AG their next visit to your club

This is recommended as a small, easy to run Club project 

with no time limitation. KDT visits the Kimberley twice a year 

(April and August) at which toothpaste is distributed.

100 Metre Dash

Do you know who this is??

answer below

As we all know, April 1st is that day we traditionally

 play practical jokes on each other.

In this particular town it is the custom for such jokes to end at Noon.

Last April 1st, John and Big Hoss (two rookie policemen) 

were patrolling the downtown business area.

 They decided to stop into the local coffee shop for a coffee and a donut.

 The time was 11:55 AM.

Three minutes later, they got a call on their police radio,

 "33 in process, man in bank dressed as a banana."

Well there was only 1 bank in town;

 in fact, it was just across from the coffee shop.

 And a 33 was an "armed robbery", 

but it was also just 11:58 AM. 

John and Big Hoss decided it was the dispatcher 

playing a joke on them.

They continued enjoying their coffee break.

At 12:01 PM, they got a second call on their radio,

 "Repeat, Urgent, 33 in process, 

man in bank dressed as a banana."

Realizing it was past noon,

 they rushed across the street, 

but arrived 30 seconds after the banana split.
