503




























We welcomed our newest member into our Rotary family last night.

District Governor Dee inducted Ramu into our club,

 and spent an enjoyable evening with us.

We wish Ramu a long and happy life in Rotary service. 









Our newest members: Charter Member returned, Barry Dring and Clare McElhinney

 










10th of December is World Human Rights Day and to mark the occasion, 

we'll be holding our second annual Giving Day.

 With over 113 million people made homeless by disaster and conflict, 

we will continue to raise awareness of the issue with our #ShelterIsAHumanRight campaign.

Right now, ShelterBox Operations are finishing up our response

 to the earthquake in Haiti; continuing responses

 in Ethiopia, Mozambique, Syria, and the Lake Chad Basin,

 where hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee their homes;

 and planning is well underway to provide emergency shelter

 and other essential items in war-torn Yemen.

For many, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a disaster

 on top of disaster.

 Affected communities and people living in overcrowded camps

 are left especially vulnerable, with little-to-no space for self-isolating

 and social distancing. 

DONATE TODAY AND YOUR GIFT WILL BE DOUBLED!

You don't have to wait until 10th Dec to make a
difference

. Now, more than ever, shelter saves lives;

 we need your support.














Thank you to those who attended the launch of the 2021

 ‘Give a Feed Campaign’. 

 It was an enjoyable event, and good to hear Andrew Wilkinson,

 Aaron Pitt and Wayne Smith speak with considerable passion 

about the need to support those people in our community who go hungry. 

 They need and deserve our support.

 

Please see above, the official Flyer for this year’s campaign. 

 As well as purchasing hampers yourselves ($30 ea),

 please consider purchasing them as Christmas presents,

 and circulating the Flyer to family and friends

 so they can contribute. 

 Those planning to donate can visit

 https://www.giveafeed.com.au/

 and the process is very easy!

 

Last year, Give a Feed raised over $75,000 for over 3,000 hampers

 and, Don Burnside, President of RC of Heirisson

 is sure we can do better this year!

 









Is your Rotary link school participating in the 2022

 District 9455 Conference Art Competition?

The art competition is taking place NOW in Term 4.

 Schools have until the end of their school year to complete the artwork.

 

What format will the competition take?

The artwork will be in the form of an A2 poster.

 Students are invited to investigate a West Australia Aboriginal artist

 that they like and present an informative poster about the artist.

 Please have a look at the specifications in the

Rotary District 9455 Art competition – schools’ letter that came attached

 to an email to club presidents back in August or see below.

 

Who is the competition for and who decides who will enter?

The poster competition is for art students in Years 7 to 10.

 Schools will decide how many students will participate and, 

if possible, build this into their program for Term 4 

or it can be done as a private activity at home.

 

How much will it cost for your link school to enter the competition?

Cost to the Rotary Club = $100.

 If you have more than one link school the fee will be discounted.

Please look at the details provided in the

Rotary District 9455 Art Competition – Letter to Rotary Clubs

which was emailed to club presidents back in August or see below.

 

There are some great prizes on offer including art materials

 and the opportunity to participate in a masterclass

 with an established artist. 

Please get behind this reconciliation initiative.

Path of Hope

 is an approach that mobilises the organisational capacity

 of Rotarians to support the Salvation Army, agencies and services 

that provide safety and empowerment to women and their children 

escaping Family and Domestic Violence.

 

The club initially did a fundraising event for Path of Hope 

called “Opera at Twilight” and have since also offered them sites

 at their annual Hyde Park Fair for them to use to promote 

what Path of Hope is all about.
Last year the club supported their annual Christmas Gift appeal 

purchasing Christmas gifts for the victims of Family Domestic Violence.

 Club members were approached to do it again this year.

 Without hesitation, the club decided to continue that support for

 this year's Christmas Gift appeal.
With the aid of a District grant, they had $1500 to spend.

 The photo above shows the three club members who took time 

out to purchase the gifts and then drop them at a 

collection point in Claremont. 

The Rotarians involved are 

Lorraine Elliott, Mason Burton and Bruno Fic.

 



Since the inception of Alzheimer's Walk to remember, 10 years ago,

 the Rotary Club of North Perth has entered a team into the walk

 in each year that it was held. 

This year the club registered 17 participants in our team.

 It’s a charity close to many of the members having family and friends

 who have suffered from Alzheimer's

A big fun day out yesterday for Como Rotary members and friends.

 All aboard a bus with Captain Les in charge, and off to the Swan Valley,

 with morning tea at the House of Honey, and then onto the Swan Settlers Markets, 

with lots to see.

 A few early visitors to the Sin Gin tasting cellar door,

 (names to be passed onto the Sarge at next meeting!)

. Then onto Sittella Winery for a wonderful lunch and some wine tasting.

 The bus trip home had plenty of music and singing,

 although a few were reminded perhaps not to give up the day job! 

A great day had by all, thanks to organisers 

Alan & Joy and Richard & Kath. 

Special thanks to Captain Les for getting us there and back safely,

 and putting up with the noisy return trip!

 













Oh what fun it is to ride ……🎶🎶🎶

Great night out riding around Perth

on peddlers seeing all the Xmas lights in Perth CBD and Northbridge.

Also enjoyed a yummy dinner upstairs at The Royal Hotel.

Another fun night with Rotary and Rotaract friends.

 The cyclists are incredible and everyone loved the experience !!

It was a packed house at Orana Cinema on Thursday night

 for the opening of the new installment of James Bond, in No Time To Die

. A huge congratulations to all Rotarians involved in organising 

and preparing the evening.

 Lots of community fellowship, wine and nibbles,

 before President John and his delightful offsider Debbie 

welcomed the audience and handed out the raffle prizes

. Graeme Durwood scored a couple of very nice cushions!

 A terrific night was had by all.

 The movie was fun and fast, as expected of James at his best;

 

























Rotary Club of Karrinyup

members were proud to attend the renaming ceremony

 for RDA Carine - Danjoo Koorliny.

 Karrinyup Rotary has supported RDA Carine for eighteen years

 and was integral in converting their need for an all weather facility into a proposal

 that could be submitted for approval and funding. 

The facility, which opened in 2019, is now beautifully decorated 

by local indigenous artists.

 












How's this for generosity?
With the callout asking for items and goods to be donated for our

 Dress for Success Perth 

fundraiser, Minh's mentor Ashley from

 Perth Rotary - Western Australia

 was kind enough to reach out and donate a total of NINE boxes.

 We want to thank Ashley and his business

 Perth CBD Uniforms & Promotions

 for the generosity.

Minh will be at the Markets again this Sunday selling donated items 

and so far has raised a total of $593.45 for Dress for Success.

Our progressive dinner was a great success with a series of delicious courses

 served up three different locations. 

Everyone dressed up in their finery and it was great fun
