Our recent meeting had not ONE but TWO different examples of Rotary - People of Action.
Exhibit 1 - Kalan Sunner
Kalan is a year 12 student at Wesley College who attended the National Youth Science Foundation summer school at the ANU, Canberra, through the sponsorship of Applecross Rotary. His picture looks like he’s a Rotarian in waiting - he’s Shaved for the Cure last week, and in October 2024, he took part in Perth's Relay for Life, the largest fundraising event for cancer in the world, that raises vital funds for Cancer Council WA’s research, prevention and support services.
Our funds enabled Kalan to open his eyes to all the possibilities that are available for his future studies, things that he had truly never imagined were capable of being his future reality. And just as importantly, showed him possibilities that he decided would not be part of his future - for now!
When he applied for our funding, he was late as he had only learned about the NYSF. Youth Director PP Logan intervened and made the case for him to attend, and I’m sure all those that heard his report to our members, are so pleased he did. People of Action!
