Two Visiting Rotarians were welcomed this week – both Past Presidents of their respective Clubs, and both bearing gifts! 
Past President David Porter (Melville) presented a cheque for $1651 being our half of the net proceeds from the Annual Rotary Art Show at Garden City, while acknowledging the many years of dedicated service to that event by Jan and John Hosking.  David then went on to win Heads ‘n Tails but donated the wine back to the Club.
 
And a new Associate Member Jordan Keesing received his badge.  Jordan already does a lot for Applecross Rotary through Ben Morton’s office, and is getting excited already what he can do to help with JacFest ’19.
Past President Bernie Foley (West Perth) presented a superb presentation on his organisation Life Education.  
LIFE EDUCATION: BERNIE FOLEY
Meeting host Andrew Bower and Guest Speaker Bernie Foley
 
Life Education has been active in Australia for 40 years, having been established by the Rotary Club of Kings Cross through the auspices of the late Rev. Ted Noffs from the Wayside Chapel.
Along with other health challenges, the issue of illicit drug use was exploding back in 1979. As a community, we were struggling to understand how to deal with this problem. While still committed to providing crisis relief and rehabilitation, Ted saw an opportunity to address the issue before it became a problem… through education.

RECYCLE NOW WITH GREENBATCH
Why? Because if you put your recyclable plastic container in the council recycling bin, it is baled up and sold to the global waste market and shipped overseas. Greenbatch Processing will be WA's first waste plastic processing plant, capturing the local plastic waste market.
 
Greenbatch invite you to drop off your household waste items on Saturday 5th October, 11am-2pm at 4 Brooklands Way, Mt Claremont.

By 2050, it is predicted that there will be more plastic in our ocean than fish. By bringing your plastic to Greenbatch, you are helping to reverse this trend!

How it works:
1. Wash eligible household waste items of any liquid or food and flatten.
2. Place these items into a designated bin, bag or box for Greenbatch.
3. Sort them into categories by item type before you arrive on the day.
4. Dispose of your items into our labelled cages, which are categorised by item type. Volunteers are available to help you.
5. Take back any items which are not outlined in our handy guide, as we cannot dispose of them at Greenbatch.
6. Enjoy a sausage sizzle (vegan options available), check out our merchandise, plastic reprocessing equipment, and partner stalls such as Flow Vessel, and Aussie Bread Tags for Wheelchairs.

Rotary, the Environment and New Generations
 
In 2015 the Board of Rotary International (RI) announced an Environmental Sustainability Rotarian Action Group (ESRAG) to help protect and sustain our planet’s environment for present and future generations. Last year RI President Ian Riseley made environmental sustainability a major focus for his year, and each of The Rotary Foundation’s areas of focus now includes aspects of environmental sustainability. June 2019’s Hamburg RI convention put environmental projects on display as Rotarians focused on cleaning up plastic waste, protecting our vital resources.
 
We know that many young people are driven by causes, and the environment and plastic pollution is often on top of the list. We are now seeing state and national political recognition of this. By Rotary working on this issue, we not only can do some good in the world, and leverage the public image potential of its popularity, but also potentially attract a new wave of people to join us.

Applecross Rotary in conjunction with Attadale and Booragoon Rotary would like to invite you – and others in your network – to attend the inaugural Meet and Greet BBQ and Rotaract Information Session to form the Melville City Rotaract Club on October 13, 2019(Sunday) from 4 PM to 6PM.
 
WHO CAN JOIN ROTARACT?
Rotaract is designed for students and professionals aged between 18-30 years old. It’s suited to anyone with an appetite to create positive change within their local community and further afield, as well as those interested in gaining leadership experience and wishing to have fun in the process.
 
WHY JOIN ROTARACT?
“Rotaractors” help improve the lives of people around them, while also benefiting from the mentorship of others, and a strong social aspect – lots of the other Rotaract Clubs across Perth regularly meet over a drink at their local pub!
 
Involvement in Rotaract connects you with a network of business, professional, and community leaders to facilitate the development of your personal and professional skills.
 
The primary focus is on community service, from a couple of hours volunteering in your local area, to a few weeks working with a local community in a developing country.
