Logan Duncan-Smith reported on the Melville City Rotaract BBQ last Sunday afternoon. Seems four people have signed up to lead the formation of the new Rotaract Club, which is a joint venture with Booragoon and Attadale Rotary Clubs. Logan also found some interest for nomination to the next RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) Camp which is running mid January. Liz Palmer will advise those going to Bunbury where the bus will be leaving from on Wednesday next week. Ray Philp reported on fundraising for the Greenbatch Education Centre, and the grant application to Ben Morton’s office for funds to supply wheelie bins to collect recyclable bottles (plastic and glass) at all the Primary Schools in the City of Melville. Clive Pearson urged members to identify excellent customer service and nominate that person for a Pride of Workmanship Award. Lorri Brazier advised that Lesley Combes is still very ill and that members will be advised when she is well enough to receive visitors, perhaps when she transfers to Fiona Stanley Hospital for rehab.  Our RYE student Connor gave members an update of his plans. He will be getting his blazer towards the end of November and is giving Applecross members his talk on 17 December that he will be giving (in German eventually) during his time abroad in the first half of 2020. He leaves for Europe on 17 January. We’ll be seeing a lot more of Connor after he finishes his last 7 exams at school and his TEE. He is applying for Physiotherapy at Curtin for 2021.  John Kelly announced that 43 years ago today, Ray Wales joined Applecross Rotary. Members present responded with applause. |
Tim was a foundation member of Perth-based Save African Rhino Foundation when it was formed 32 years ago. SARF has raised over $11m since then for equipment to interrupt the poaching of white and black rhinos, particularly in Zimbabwe.
The four fishermen (John Kelly, Mal Taylor, Kenn Williams, Chris Whelan) who caught fish in Arnhem Land, and unhappy Hamish Turner who caught none in Kalbarri recently!
