the passing of the banner from Rockingham to Southern Districts
























Our Club Changeover Dinner last night at Ye Olde Narrogin Inne
was a fun event with 37 Rotarians, partners and guests present.
They all enjoyed fine food, fellowship and fun,
as President 2021-22 Peter Warren was officially installed
as President for another year.
District Governor-Elect Ric McDonald congratulated Peter on his past year
at the helm and presented him with the new Rotary theme banner
for the coming year, "Imagine Rotary".
He challenged members to imagine the club having twice
as many members as we currently have,













Changeover night at Freo Rotary. Adam,

 for the last time as President thanked the members for their 

support over the year and remarked that for a club relatively small 

in numbers we had contributed a large sum to the community of Fremantle i

n both money, goods and kind over the year.

 In the past year the club has raised over $63,000 for local and international projects.

 On top of that the club promotes collection of non perishable food f

or those in need and close to $9000 worth of food was handed over. 

Support was also given to micro finance overseas projects 

as well as supply of computers for refugee children in Bangkok.

 $26,000 were given to the Spinnaker Foundation 

for much needed medical research.

 Not a bad effort for a small club! 

Adam then handed over to the incoming President Paul 

who outlined his plans for the coming year,

 and introduced the new board.

 A great night at the old Courthouse when members finished 

by handing down justice from the bench.

Out of the Wooroloo Bushfire came a group of Gentlemen

 who decided to create the Gidgegannup Men's Shed

 and today; while we were at the Wooroloo Muster

 continuing to innovate out of Recovery to Resilience 

– I also popped in to see them at their 1st birthday!

 

https://www.facebook.com/Gidgegannup-Mens-Shed-107049541639957

https://gidgegannupmensshed.org.au/

 

The Gidgegannup Men’s Shed is a community-based Men’s Shed 

that provides opportunities for members to work on projects of their own

, join in Shed activities and tasks, or just share time, 

recreation and fellowship with other members. 

 

They have opened up the Shed to all comers and quite a number of Ladies

 have joined – just today, 11 new members joined for their first birthday

 nearly up to 50 members and they hope to hit 100 to the end of the year.

 

An small investment of $17K over a year has provided the impetus

 for this dynamic Community Group to thrive out of 

adversity producing a serious social dividend for their Community

Our wonderful food van team feeding the volunteers at the 

Australian Resilience Corp muster.

 






We were invited aboard the HMAS Stalwart as part

 of her inaugural visit to Geraldton. 

Commissioned in November 2021, the ship is 174 metres long

 and weighs 19,500 tonnes (displaced weight).

 With a crew of 170 people onboard, the ship is a 

supply-class replenishment oilier, for the Royal Australian Navy.

 We were given a great insight into the role of the ship

 and life onboard by our guide Vinny. Huge thanks to PP Jason

 for arranging a wonderful afternoon Vocational visit.
