High-impact service through Programs of Scale grants

Is your club or district ready to scale up a successful service project

to make an even larger impact?

Each year, The Rotary Foundation awards one US$2 million Programs

of Scale grant to a well-developed, evidence-based program

with the potential to expand and attract experienced partner organizations.

The 2021-22 Programs of Scale grant was awarded to

Together for Healthy Families in Nigeria,

a member-led program focused on saving the lives of Nigerian mothers

and newborns by improving access to quality health care.

The project is sponsored by Districts 1860 (Germany)

and 9110, 9125, 9141, and 9142 (Nigeria),

as well as the Rotary Action Group for Reproductive,

Maternal, and Child Health.

Rotarians and Rotaractors in Nigeria coordinate project activities

, oversee training, lead advocacy efforts,

and engage with the Nigerian federal and state ministries of health

, medical associations, and community leaders.

Members in Germany lend their technical and administrative expertise

to support management, monitoring, and evaluation

. The group has applied for funding from

Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development,

which has been contributing to the effort from the start,

including $1.36 million toward a recent global grant project.

The application cycle for the 2022-23 Programs of Scale grant

began in June and is now closed.

Selected applicants will be invited to submit proposals in October.

Congratulations Yvonne

One of our own Rotarians has just received an Order of Australia Medal,
which she was awarded a couple of years ago.

COVID interfered with ceremonies over the last little while,
but she was finally recognised in a ceremony in Perth
this week to receive her OAM

What fantastic progress and great outcomes.
We are proud to have helped achieve this impact.

It was great to get out to beautiful Big Grove today to visit the
Rotary Club of Albany Port WA (Inc)
and see the newly completed disabled access parking bay;
the club received a grant for $5000 towards the project
through the Small Grants Program

Evie Daniels-Peake and Elise Powell spoke to the club about the
recent “changing of the guard “ in the Interact Club.
They are outgoing joint Presidents and will be followed by the Watts boys
The Secretary will be Marissa Thomas and Treasurer Felicia Ong.
They spoke about documentation of the fund raisers that worked
(comfy clothes Gold Coin Day) and the ones that didn’t

A guest speaker from Kanyana spoke

Huge thanks to all the staff and students for their support

And an extra special thanks to Interactor Kal K.

Amazing job everyone!

Member of the RC Freshwater Bay's member Nishi Galhenage

visited a project in Sri Lanka supported by the RC Freshwater Bay

for women and children's development.

Our club Secretary Dave Holle recently visited the

Hillcrest Rotary Club

in Durban South Africa to share ideas,

get to know our fellow Rotarians

and understand their projects.
It is amazing to see how similar clubs are around the world

and how much we share as Rotarians.

Christopher from Rotary Club of Sentosa Singapore

dropped in to say hi at the Stirling Farmers Market today…

Well the 2022 Wine Show has drawn to a close once again.

What a great night.

Going back a few days setting up for judging at Town Hall

started on Wednesday afternoon with judges benches

and all heavy furniture being moved to Town Hall.

Spotlights being set up - which is not an easy job –

and all general set up taking place

Thursday morning saw all wine glasses washed,

wines bought into Town Hall for judging and wine tasting area

set up at the Tall Timbers Brewery.

By mid day the hall was completely set up for judging on the Friday.

Friday saw all stewards doing the first pour of wines by 8am

and the day went very smoothly finishing about 3pm.

Judging panel were very professional and once judging finished

all remaining wines were moved to Brewery for Tasting that night.

At 6.30pm the Brewery opened up for the Wine Show Dinner

and Award Night.

The venue looked fantastic with many thanks going to Tall Timbers

staff for their excellent set up.

Special thanks to Elly from Tall Timbers whose baby is due in 1 week.

The wine tasting went so well this year with the wines being

set up along the bar and the back area of the Brewery

so we avoided crowds in any 1 area.

The Meal was excellent and well served.

I am not going to cover any winners

as I don’t want to make any errors

but sufficient to say the Awards went well with an excellent MC

and the addition of someone professional to operate the excellent screens

and the well presented power point.

Now to go back a few months to the work undertaken

by the Wine Show Committee.

Congratulations on behalf of Rotary and the Wine Industry

for all your hard work and excellent planning.

Also many thanks to other Rotarians

for helping with the set up of judging,

washing glasses, stewards, brewery set up team for wine tastings.

Not naming names as it is easy to miss someone

and everyone who helped did a great job.

I am sure I could add so much more but once again

I would like to congratulate the Wine Show Committee

for such an excellent Event.

I have included just a couple of photo’s

but there will be many more

when we have the Wine Presentation meeting on Monday 10 Oct.

I hope the committee can now have a well earned rest.

Every year for the last 20 (approx.) years Margaret River Rotary

has organized mock interviews for the yr 12 students from

Margaret River Senior High School,

to assist with their next moves into the workforce.

Today I had the pleasure of working with Francine & Maxine

who between them have clocked up 30 years of interviews!

Its a massive project with up to 60 students

and over 40 volunteers each year.

Big shout out and thank you to all the volunteers who interviewed

and to the students who put their best foot forward,

we wish you all the very best as you venture into new territory

Hugely successful donuts at the Moora show

thanks to these amazing humans!

The cadets were super! What a day! Thank you!

Meeting 14th September PP Gordon Hudson (Volunteer CEO)

and Peter from the RC Scarborough were welcomed.

Brother Olly Pickett is the factory manager.

Established in 1996,

Wheelchairs for Kids has evolved from using old bicycles

to create wheelchairs, to now a very solid, safe

and customized wheelchair for each child.

A pool of over 240 volunteers work mornings to produce

some 400 wheelchairs a month.

Added to this there are knitters throughout Australia making rugs

and dolls/ toys to go with the wheelchairs.

Since 1998 over 53,000 wheelchairs have been distributed

in almost 100 countries.

Currently delivery is mainly carried out by aide

agencies such as World Vision.

The cost of a chair is currently $250

. With it costing almost $100,000

a month to run the factory in Wangara,

donations and fundraising activities are heavily relied upon

. In recent years a Wheelathon has been

introduced into Australian schools,

whilst being a great fundraiser, it's also a lot of fun

Excellent Club meeting last Monday evening,

with Jo Wilkie from Soroptimist South Perth Club (SISP)

providing an update on the Over 55’s Housing Project for Women.

Project was established late last year, with community support

by local community service clubs

(SISP/Rotary Como & Mill Point & Lions Club)

, as a lobby voice re our combined concerns of the issue.

Jo’s wonderful leadership is identifying potential opportunities

with major local investor groups, supported by State

Starting Over Support SOS

For a number of years, Rotary Como has been so very supportive

of our Starting Over Support Program.
Every year they go above and beyond providing us

with many donated items and some much needed $ to
help when we run out of goods needed for our crisis families.

During the month of July, we were presented with a cheque for $3,130.00.

We had the pleasure of a visit from
the new President Elect – Kevin Saunders

together with John Dodman (Past President/Director Community Services.

We are all so extremely grateful for your kindness and ongoing support
