Looking forward to our face to face meeting tomorrow with our guest speaker Jim Cameron, talking about his research into how the early migrants came to terms with the Western Australian environment which was very unfamiliar to them.
 Please bring along to the meeting your donations for FOODBANK.
As Greg Hebble informed our meeting a few weeks ago, the call on their supplies is increasing due to the continuing issues caused by the pandemic as well as the devastation caused by Cyclone Seroja.
This week's FOOTY MARGINS winner is Elizabeth Aaron with West Coast beating the Freo Dickers by 59 points.
Our Changeover and 50th Anniversary celebrations will be on Tuesday 6th July at The Sunshine Harvester Works, 1 James St Fremantle.
Secretary Chris Whelan has issued a challenge to Applecross Rotary members and friends to let him know the contact details of past members and/or friends who might enjoy this celebration so he can send them a formal invitation with all the details when finalised. Email Chris at the following address - secretary@applecrossrotary.org
Our club has been invited to tour BRIGHTWATER'S OATS STREET FACILITY. Last year we had an interesting presentation on Brightwater's Music Pharmacy. The Brightwater music and wellbeing program explores how socially stimulating music can be for people in general, as this benefits all in the community. Brightwater Oats Street is a community based residential rehabilitation service for individuals who have experienced an acquired brain injury.

Applecross Rotary will be sponsoring Ayrton Nichols to attend the RYPEN May 2021 Seminar from the 14th to 16th May.

Thanks to George Mavros with a top up from Kenn Williams we received another $93.70 from the Containers For Change scheme. This brings the total to $517 since the scheme started in October 2020. Well worth the effort!
 Applecross Rotary's 'jar' was runner-up in the April Grill'd LOCAL MATTERS competition . The "wheelchairs for kids" group took first spot and the Board decided to donate our winnings to them as well. The last time we entered the competition (February 2020) we won receiving the most tokens. It is pleasing to see the local public has a high regard for Rotary.
Melville City Rotaract is planning a social fishing afternoon on Sunday May 23 at Floreat Beach from 3:30pm. President Andrew has fishing equipment and will demonstrate filleting and will also bring along a smoker. Kenn Williams has volunteered to be the club member in attendance for insurance purposes and other members are welcomed to join the event.
The club has regular meetings and activities, and is getting close to applying to being certified.
