Summer is on the way in Australia but in the North,

winter is drawing in; the nights are longer,

and temperatures are falling.

For the millions of displaced people around the world,

 winter brings life-threatening challenges.

without high-quality shelter

 

and winter survival kits containing items like

 warm clothing and thermal blankets.

Families urgently need your help.

to stay warm and stay alive this winter.

With a Winter Survival Kit, families

can find a way through the coldest nights.

Please donate today and show you’re right there.

with families fighting to stay warm and stay alive.

Second Shipment of 100 EndTrachoma Bags

for the Goldfields

 

At this year's Rotary Convention,

 Rotary Club of Karrinyup members

made a commitment.

 to send three hundred EndTrachoma bags

 to the Goldfields.

 

In July we saw the first part of this

 Convention Commitment Fulfilled,

with the first one hundred bags delivered to Kalgoorlie.

After a busy bee by the team,

 the second one hundred bags have now

 been sent to the Goldfields.

 

Due to storage issues in Kalgoorlie the final contingent

 will go in the new year in time for the start of the school year.

What a great night last night

as we heard about the projects and impact

 of the Rotary Club of Armadale

the Rotary Club of Byford & Districts

 and Rotary Southern Districts.

The location is very special,

a community centre run and managed

 by Indigenous people,

 the artwork is just awesome.

 Thanks everyone, it was a fabulous night!

 







Last night our Club attended the DG's visit presentations.

With DG Ineke and AG James,

 the Rotary Clubs of Southern Districts, Armadale,

and Byford & Districts

meet and celebrate our many and varied service efforts.

 that support our communities.

 Our District Governor Ineke 'walked'

 us through the new Rotary WA profile,

 with the many support arrangements that could

be secured from the district and the zone.

 Membership and PR is high on the focus areas list as is the

 new regionalisation model and the leadership teams that

 will make it happen. Well done everyone.

 







We’ve just had a night filled with laughter and all things Rotary.

- great conversations with people making a real difference

 in their community.

Thankyou Rotary Club of Collie and it was great

 to also meet people from Rotary Harvey.

 Check out their terrific display boards too!

Beach Races last weekend
























We had a very busy Club meeting this week!

Firstly, Ellen Engelke our ARH Indigenous Scholar

 was along to give us an update on 2023.

 Ellen spent the year in Albany & Albany Hospital as part of her.

Curtin University studies for a Bachelor of Medicine.

 Being from Kununurra, took some time.

 to adapt to the Albany winter!

 We wish Ellen all the best for her exams,

 and her last year next year.

President Alan and Susanne handed a Certificate of Appreciation

 to Lydia Richardson from Como SC

for her great support over the year to Susanne

with the Como SC Interact Club.

 The Club is thriving with community projects.

undertaken in each school term.

Thank you, Lydia, and to Susanne for her on going

 wonderful commitment in supporting the Club.

Our guest speaker, PDG Jerry Pilcher, & ARH Director,

gave an excellent strategic update of ARH across Australia,

 and future direction with mental health research

for children up to 12 years

. Research has confirmed this is where mental health issues all start,

with the disturbing statistic that as at “today”

 there are 580,000 children across Australia under 12 years.

with some form of mental illness!

This is why ARH are so focussed on research to deliver answers.

and remedial programs to address.

Como Rotary as with many other Clubs is playing its part.

 with ARH donations now over $60,000, over past 40 years.

Thank you, Jerry.

So, a few weeks ago, Connor Mallis from

Triple M Goldfields

and a few mates including local Golf Pro Joost,

Goldfields Golfer Connor Fewkes,

 Golf Course Superintendent Nial Rogan

 and a few club members attempted.

(and completed) 100 Holes of Golf to raise funds for

 the Goldfields Family Assistance Fund.

 Teeing off at first light, approx. 4.15am, the team ended

up walking more than 62kms in the day.

 On top of that, Connor also broadcast his

 breakfast show from 6am-9am.

Over $13,000 has been raised from this event,

which is an amazing effort.

Huge thanks to all of the participants, the Golf Course and sponsors,

especially Genwest Pty Ltd.

For donating 4 lighting towers

to light up the 10th hole, for the last 10 holes of the day.
