Following a long wait for a reply from the Greenbatch Foundation Liquidators (CorCordis), an offer from Perth Rotarian and Rotary-Greenbatch Alliance chair David Wee was accepted for the remaining assets excluding some items that were still being contested. 

 

This allowed for Applecross Rotary to recover 50 x 240L bins that were purchased through a 'Communities Environment Program' (CEP) grant that was received in March 2020. The grant was to fund a Schools Recycling Program for the schools in the City of Melville delivered by the Greenbatch Foundation. 

 

 

 

Our guest speaker for last meeting was Kelly Keall, the Community Engagement Coordinator Philanththropy and Enterprise for Anglicare WA.  Kelly connects schools, parishes and community groups with the many aspects of Anglicare WA's work.

 

Anglicare supports people, families and communities with many services as they move from surviving, to coping, to building, to thriving.

 

Kelly took the opportunity, being Homelessness Week,  to focus on the support Anglicare provides for Homelessness through the following programs -

APPLECROSS ROTARY, THE ROTARY CLUB OF KITENGELA and MAMA RESPOND International (a Perth based NFP) have joined forces to build what will be the only comprehensive toilet block for special needs students in Kitengela, Kenya (population 150,000). This will be at Noonkopir Township Primary School – a public school closely affiliated with Mama Respond.
