President's Notes
Logan DUNCAN-SMITH
member photo
President Logan is finally out of hospital as of last Tuesday and is looking forward to hosting DG Ric at tomorrows breakfast meeting. 
 
 
Last weeks meeting was chaired by IPP Peter McEwen and our guest speaker was Bruce Stuart who was hosted by Michael Smith. 
 
 
Bruce is one of six part time chaplains who work at the Acacia Prison.  Bruce explained that they are "in the system but not part of the system".  This allows them to provide pastoral care for the inmates, respecting their privacy unless harm would be caused. They are there for prisoners, their families and staff, and cover all belief systems.  
 
They also assist people when they are leaving prison to connect with organisations that can assist with accommodation, drug programs etc.
 
Bruce said his job is very emotional and cognitively draining, however believes he has been preparing all of his life for the job that he gets a great deal of  satisfaction making a difference to people's lives.
 
Another very informative, interesting and entertaining speaker that is another benefit from being a member of Rotary.

MUSINGS FROM AG KENN
Update on our Insurance.
I have received the FINAL WORD on the Comprehensive Insurance on our ‘ on the road’ assets involved in an accident or damage incident.
 
* Excess Standard $500 if involved in a Rotary Project, whether Applecross or another Rotary Club. Similar if driven by a Rotary member for private use. Ute, trailer or BBQ
 
* If a trailer is involved but not towed by our Ute, then the towing vehicle insurance is responsible for the damage. Essential that the towing vehicle has confirmed Comprehensive insurance.
 
* If the Ute is loaned out to a NON ROTARY Member, then the excess is $1,000.
 
* In the event of a THEFT Incident, then the excess is an additional $500 
 
We will ensure that these details are prominently displayed in the Ute, in particular, and highlighted in our ‘use of vehicle’ sign off agreement to be completed prior to any non  AxR project arrangements.
 
Redistricting to Rotary Western Australia.    SEASONS OF CHANGE.
 
Much more information to flow through to Clubs over the next few months as we prepare for the amalgamated 9465 and 9455 on 1/7/2023.
 
Please note:   Transition to Rotary WA. 
                          * Season of Change Zoom Meeting for all Clubs and members
                            Sunday 24th July, 4-5.30 pm.
                          * Regionalisation  Pilot Zoom Meeting for all Clubs and Members.

News from Melville Cockburn Chamber of Commerce (MCCC)
 
Applecross Rotary along with the Rotary Club of Cockburn are proud members of the MCCC.
 
This is very much part of our membership growth strategy as an opportunity to work closely with our local business community for the mutual benefit of both parties.  From Rotary's perspective we rely on the support of our local businesses for our many projects. We are able to use the MCCC communications and member activities such as the monthly 'business after hours' to promote what Rotary is about and the benefits of joining or partnering with Rotary.
 
In this month's 'news from the chamber' it is pleasing to see our local business partner ' Market Life' welcomed as a new MCCC member.
 
 
     

 
FROM THE DESK OF DG RICK
 
Welcome to the 2022-23 Rotary year.
 
My Priority as District Governor for this year is membership and looking seriously at the way forward. As we transition to Rotary Western Australia , July 1 2023 we all need to take an active role in membership growth, Ray, can you imaging a vibrant Rotary Western Australia, not just with the current membership of around 2000 but 3000 or even 5000.
IMAGINE that!
The transition to Rotary Western Australia will not solve membership decline, that is up to each and everyone of us. only we can turn it around! I can imagine that
 
The Jennifer Jones Imagination Challenge , has gone to club leaders and should be discussed at club level soon, here is an opportunity to let your imagination run wild and grow your club. Ask your president and encourage your club to be part of this challenge.
 
District membership chair Wayne Milnes is assembling a team around him to help clubs grow and prosper, The team is nearly complete , if you would like to be part of this team or know more contact Wayne now.  membershipmgr@rotary9465.org.au
 
Satellite Clubs offer existing clubs a great way to engage with people in your community who do not necessarily want to join a Rotary club and attend weekly meetings but are passionate about community, they can benefit from a formal Rotary relationship and your club can benefit from increased membership. Tom Atkinson is our district Satellite Club specialist  Ask Tom and DG Ric how secretary@applecrossrotary.org,dg@rotary9465.org.au
