Dear Rotary family,
I’ve always been inspired by something my brother David once told me:
“In order
to live in the kind of society you want, you have to help build it.”
As people of action, Rotary members have a long history
of creating positive change within our communities and ourselves
. And now, as we begin the 2022-23 Rotary year,
I’m excited to continue the work of growing Rotary
into the organization
we want it to be and know it can be.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Jones
RI President, 2022-23
Rotary is a worldwide organisation, so beyond what you see in our own community,
we are helping out globally also.
ShelterBox is sending an emergency response team to Pakistan.
More than 30 million people have been affected by severe floods
and we
are closely monitoring the situation.
ShelterBox is well-experienced responding to flood-hit areas –
at least
75 times since 2000.
Our largest response to flooding was in Pakistan in 2010
where we
supported thousands of families with emergency shelter aid.
PLEASE DONATE NOW to support displaced people around the world:

Esperance, Unlimited
(Corrina Rawlinson)
This is a story with a difference.
Last year Rotary Esperance voted to induct the daughter
of a member as the
club's first-ever
female member, and in the process created a quiet revolution,
as Corrina quietly
went about modernizing the club profile as
chief storyteller.
Want to convey a more relevant image to your stakeholders,
and possibly
recruit more second-generation Rotarians?
Come and listen to Corrina's story on Tuesday
night.

The Rotary Club of Kojonup has organised a trip to the Antarctic
departing January 21, 2024,
with proceeds to go to help refugees from the
Ukraine war.
Is Antarctica On Your Bucket List?
Here's your chance to tick it off with Silversea
Why take an Antarctica Luxury Cruise with Silversea?
Because it’s the adventure of a lifetime in the least visited place on earth.
Because their fleet of intimate expedition ships takes you
so far off the beaten track, there is no track.
Because they have made luxury all-inclusive cruising
to Antarctica
into an art form. Need we say more?
By booking your once-in-a-lifetime luxury expedition experience,
you will also be supporting war-torn Ukraine.
This initiative set up by Kojonup Rotary Club will donate part proceeds
from each booking to Rotary Ukraine which is using its networks
and experience to take swift action in the region.
Italktravel North Perth has put together this incredible “door to door”
with Silversea Expeditions.

National Science & Engineering Competition!
A lovely evening, joined by our friends from The Rotary Club of Karrinyup
and held at The Third Place,
hearing all about the different online scams out there.
Jason from NBN Australia certainly made us all aware
of what to look out for.
Thanks Jason.
We were honoured to receive a gift from Phil and
our Karrinyup friends:
The “ jug” was presented to Phil Ledger’s father,
Ted.
Ted was a Charter Member of Subiaco Rotary
and was Subiaco’s first District Governor in 1959-60.
( the only other District Governor from Subiaco was Bill Benbow 2005-06)
. Phil said that his father treasured this special gift
and was very proud to have received it.
Phil ( a member of Karrinyup Rotary Club) felt that it was time
that the beautiful silver jug was given to the current
Subiaco Rotary Club.
Thank you !!
After our meeting we all enjoyed a meal together
at
our local Amarin Thai Restaurant.
Thanks to everyone for a lovely evening.
What an absolutely wonderful event last night for the
High Energy Squad Summit - August 2022!

For anyone who missed it, don't worry and stay tuned because the recording
will be uploaded to our YouTube Channel shortly.
