Polio Type 2 Variant discovered in Perth wastewater plant

Following our recent celebrations for World Immunization Week (24–30 April), it was a sobering reminder to receive reports of variant poliovirus (type 2) detected at the Subiaco Wastewater Treatment Plant. Dr. Fiona Stanley has provided a poignant opinion piece (see below) on these findings, emphasizing that while our high local vaccination rates keep our community at low risk, we cannot afford complacency.

This discovery is a timely testament to the vital importance of the End Polio Now campaign; we must remain vigilant until the disease is eradicated globally.

Dear Rotarians and Friends,

While the Autumn air is beginning to cool, activity at Perth Rotary is certainly heating up!

Celebrating Paul Harris | The Founder of Rotary International

Rotary History | Paul Harris: Rotary’s Founder

(Article supplied by Rotary Foundation Email 15 April 2026)

Rotary started with the vision of one man — Paul P. Harris. Rotary founder Paul Harris was born on 19 April 1868 in Racine, Wisconsin, USA. Thanks to his extraordinary vision, Rotary members around the world remain united to this day by a shared sense of purpose and dedication to service.

In 2024-25, Paul Harris Society members contributed more than US$44.5 million to The Rotary Foundation, enabling us to fund sustainable projects that make an impact both in our communities and on a global scale. Rotarians generosity fosters peace, health, literacy, and economic opportunities.

Join us in celebrating the anniversary of Harris’ birth.

World Immunization Week | 24 - 30 April 2027

World Immunization Week: Honouring Our Legacy, Protecting the Future

As we approach a monumental period in our club’s history, we are reminded that our impact is felt most strongly when we take action for global health. A central theme of our second century is a landmark commitment to the University of Western Australia for the proposed Barry Marshall Research Institute for Infectious Diseases. This transformative investment, alongside our expanding global partnerships, represents our dedication to "Service Above Self" on both a local and international scale. World Immunization Week (24–30 April) is fast approaching, and it offers the perfect opportunity for our members to celebrate one of Rotary’s greatest achievements: the fight to end polio.

As a result, the 2026 trip has been expanded back to 4 clinical weeks in May. We anticipate that 2026 will be our final year of KDT operations, as we all know it, in the Kimberley.

Dear Rotarians and Friends,

As we approach the final quarter of the 2025/26 Rotary Year, it is remarkable how quickly the months are progressing. While tomorrow marks the traditional light heartedness of April Fools' Day, some of the broader challenges currently facing our community both here and overseas, serve as a reminder of the important work we continue to do.

Revised April Meeting Schedule Please note that due to the Easter period, Perth Rotary will adjust our meeting dates for the coming month. We will meet on the second and fourth Fridays of April (10 April and 24 April) at the Parmelia Hilton. We will return to our standard first and third Friday schedule in May.

Special Guest Speaker: Dr. David Mountain | 10 April I encourage all members to make a special effort to join us on Friday, 10 April, for what promises to be a highly significant luncheon. We are privileged to welcome Dr. David Mountain, a practicing Emergency Consultant Physician and former President of the AMA (WA). With a long history of public health advocacy, Dr. Mountain will provide an expert perspective on the current challenges facing Western Australia’s public health system. His address will explore the drivers behind the current crisis, the impact on local patients, and the interventions required to secure the system's future.

Given the importance of this topic and Dr. Mountain’s standing in the medical community, this is an excellent opportunity to invite guests and prospective members. I look forward to seeing you all on the 10th.

A Christmas Message | a Time for Miracles, Peace and Goodwill.

Each year at our Christmas Breakfast, we invite The Very Reverend Dr John Shepherd AM to provide us with a Christmas Message. Please read on....

In 1914 there was a Christmas miracle. It happened during World War I and the horrors of trench warfare. Each army was hunkered down in trenches which stretched out all across the western front. In between those opposing trenches was No Man’s Land – an ugly, bloody span of ground filled with barbed wire, bodies, and near certain death for anyone who ventured out into it.

Every Daughter Matters - Update from the Front Line

At a Perth Rotary lunch meeting in September this year, Darren Reynolds spoke to us about the purpose and work of Every Daughter Matters.

Every day, young women and girls are taken across the open Nepal-India border, often disappearing forever. Instead of freedom, they are trapped in brothels, subjected to violence, and stripped of their dignity. Others are forced to work in sweatshops or construction sites under bonded labour. Some are deceived into sham marriages and sold into servitude or prostitution. In the darkest cases, victims are targeted for organ harvesting.

Every Daughter Matters intercepts between 100-150 young women every month! Stopping the abuse before it begins.

Dear Perth Rotary Members and Friends,

On Friday, September 5, 2025, we were honored to host Emeritus Professor Barry Marshall as our guest speaker. He attracted a large crowd and did not disappoint.

Professor Marshall began by sharing a personal glimpse into his life, including his wife Adrienne, children, and grandchildren, all of whom he says kept him grounded after receiving the Nobel Prize. He delighted the audience with an amusing story about his grandchildren creating their own science laboratory on the family farm, which still retains the remnants—and associated odor—of their experiments.

He then delved into his professional journey, discussing the process, obstacles, and eventual success of proving that he and Professor Robin Warren had found the cause and cure for stomach ulcers. It was a truly inspirational story of grit, determination, and self-belief. His talk was a powerful reminder that perseverance pays off and that when you don't succeed at first, the lesson is to try, try, and try again.

Dear Perth Rotary Members and Friends,

"In a world where you can be anything, be kind."

Often attributed to author Clare Pooley, this quote serves as a powerful reminder of a fundamental value. Kindness is defined by the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate, not only to others but also to ourselves. It’s an essential practice that acknowledges our differences, celebrates our similarities, and shows empathy in both our successes and our setbacks. Let's strive to lead with kindness in all that we do.

We were honored to host Acting Lord Mayor Cr. Bruce Reynolds as our distinguished guest speaker on Friday, July 18, 2025. Cr. Reynolds provided members with an insightful and candid address, sharing details of his background, strong work ethic, and the business acumen that informs his approach to community engagement. He also highlighted the numerous dynamic projects currently underway within the City of Perth. Cr. Reynolds emphasized Perth's evolution into a modern, globally connected city, asserting its position not as the most isolated city in the world, but rather as a prominent gateway to international opportunities. As we watch the struggles along the Thai/Cambodia border unfold, it is timely to reflect on how fortunate we are and what can we do to make the world a better place in every corner. Our International Portfolio Members are in touch and monitoring the situation to see what support we might be able to offer to those affected by the unrest.

Building Hope Through Education

This marks the 13^th rural education center established by Cambodia Family Support (CFS), a Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) project, and the 9^th school supported by this inspiring group of Perth families.

Dear Perth Rotary Members and Friends,

Celebrating NAIDOC Week and Embracing "Makuru" in Our Rotary Year

We kicked off the Rotary year with a meaningful celebration of NAIDOC Week, an event that set an inspiring tone for the months ahead. Our guest speaker, Gordon Cole, Chair of the Noongar Chamber of Commerce, provided an overview of the Chamber's work with First Nations businesses. He highlighted the profound impact of empowerment in driving positive change within these communities.

One particularly insightful aspect of Gordon's presentation was how the Chamber thoughtfully integrates the six Noongar seasons—Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba, and Kambarang—into their business planning model. This unique approach resonated deeply with our commitment to community-centric development.

Coincidentally, we find ourselves currently in the season of Makuru. While Makuru is traditionally known as the wettest and coldest time of the year, often accompanied by gales and storms, it also carries a powerful symbolism: it's the Fertility Season. This period signifies the natural early gathering of ideas and the crucial scoping of project themes and narratives.

In alignment with the spirit of Makuru, Perth Rotary is actively in an incubation phase for new ideas and initiatives. We're currently nurturing and developing several promising concepts, much like the fertile ground of Makuru bringing forth new life. We look forward to sharing more about these exciting developments as they mature.

PERTH ROTARY BONFIRE NIGHT

Perth Rotary Bonfire Night is on again.... Saturday 9 August 2025.

Newsletter #1 | President Jill

Dear Perth Rotary Members and Friends,

How exciting to be given the opportunity once again, to work alongside this great club as we lead into our Centenary Year. One Hundred Years of serving the Community of Western Australia is an amazing legacy and a privilege for us to know that we have all contributed in some small way. We have every right to be proud and loud about the achievements of Rotary and particularly the achievement of this Club… However… our work is only just beginning. Together we are at our Best – and that goes for not only this club but the whole of WA. Hence our Centenary Celebrations are a Celebration of Rotary throughout Western Australia.

KDT Book Launch | You're invited.

Kimberley Dental Team Ltd was founded by Jan and John Owen in May 2009 as a result of their experience in Halls Creek.

In May 2009, Dr. John Owen accompanied his wife Jan, dental nurse and dental health educator in her earlier career, to Halls Creek. The visit occurred because of Jan’s participation in the choir Madjitil Moorna: Singers of Aboriginal songs, who had been invited by an Aboriginal school teacher, Doreen Green, to sing with the children of the Halls Creek District High School. The school welcomed their dental expertise as they had been without a dental therapy service for a considerable time and many children suffered dental disease and pain. This afforded the opportunity for Jan and John to provide dental screening and dental health education (DHE) to the local school children during the week of the choir visit.

Shelterbox Australia May Update Myanmar

An update from Shelterbox Australia CEO, Mike Greenslade regarding the constant challenges faced.....

“The sharp rise in the number of people displaced within their own countries is a worrying trend, affecting more countries and territories around the world. “More than 1.6 million people are being uprooted from their homes every week on average because of conflict or disaster, yet not enough is being done to protect people from being displaced. “Even more sobering is that people displaced by conflict are being displaced by extreme weather too, and that makes it far harder for people to recover. “We’re seeing this in many of our responses, where communities, in places like Yemen, Myanmar, and Mozambique don't have time to recover from one crisis before the next one hits. “While it’s becoming harder and harder for humanitarian organisations to meet the challenges with fewer funding options, we’re continuously adapting, working with local people to find better and longer-lasting solutions.”

This may well be my final address as President of Perth Rotary, though I just might squeeze in one more before my term concludes. While our official Changeover is scheduled for 20th June, the Rotary year technically runs until 30th June 2025. I’ll chat with President Elect Jill and see if I can put my foot down one last time—it’s worth a shot!

Dear all

We are in the final quarter of the Rotary year which means I am already seeing the finish line to 30^th June as PE Jill Dawson gears up for taking over as the 99^th President of the club. We concluded our board meeting last night and I can only assure you that we have some great ideas and discussions being held as we embark on a journey towards our Centenary Year. I want each and every Rotarian to be proud of their association and contribution to Rotary and be part of this journey as I, myself, have never been a part of an organisation that is 100 year old. That basically means that as Rotarians, we have served the West Australian community for almost 100 years. I share with all our charter certificate dating back to 15^th April 1927.

From GSE To VTT

History of Connection Western Australia and California

A Legacy of Rotary Exchange | In 1967, Rotary International (“RI”) District Governor John H. Clay appointed Herb Hezlep III from the Monrovia Rotary Club (RI District #530, currently #5300 California & Nevada) to lead the inaugural Group Study Exchange (“GSE”) between District #530 and Western Australia (RI District #245, currently District #9423). Herb collaborated closely with Bill Holywell, leader of the Western Australian team, to organise an intensive eight-week itinerary, which included 105 host families, study visits, speaking engagements, 29 Rotary lunches, and participation in the District Conference in Las Vegas.

March is Women's History Month | Rotary International Celebrates Women.

A message from Rotary International President, Stephanie Urchick to all Rotarians and Members of the International Community,

March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate and reflect on the vital roles that women play in our communities. I want to use this occasion to recognize women in Rotary -- like you-- for their tremendous contributions to our organization. Rotary and Rotaract clubs thrive when they create a welcoming and inclusive environment and enable women to foster meaningful connections, serve our communities, and lead.

Dear all

The AFL season has kicked off today with my support going to the purple army once again this year. I do know that we are not meant to talk politics and religion in Rotary so sports will hopefully keep us united and doesn’t get added to the list. As the NBA legend, LeBron James, said: “Don't be afraid of failure. This is the way to succeed”. I hope that quote comes true and we can have the “dream come true” moment in 2025. Good luck to all the participating teams!!

Rotary Youth Exchange celebrates 50 years

The year 2025 marks the 50^th anniversary of the Rotary Youth Exchange program as one of Rotary International’s official youth programs. Although the program started well before 1975, Rotary members, program volunteers, and alumni everywhere should be proud to celebrate the last fifty years as the program has grown and become a prime example of Rotary service worldwide for so many. Rotary Youth Exchange would not be possible without the essential work that volunteers—Rotary members or nonmembers alike—contribute year after year.

The Perth Rotary Club has been privileged to host many Rotary Youth Exchange Students over the years, most recently Abby Lin from Taiwan. We have also enabled many a student to spend a year in another country in exchange for hosting. Currently we have Eva Sussex who is spending 2025 in Sweden.

Vienna Pops 2024 NYE Concert Review

REVIEW: Vienna Pops Orchestra’s NYE Gala opens era at Winthrop Hall

David Cusworth | The West Australian

Vienna Pops Orchestra’s New Year’s Eve Gala saluted the past with a glimpse of the future, moving to UWA as Winthrop Hall replaces Perth Concert Hall during three years of renovations. Musicians warming up in the undercroft, ice-cream on the lawns and drinks under the portico were a taste of things to come, but the formula on stage was constant with Mark Coughlan conducting and Strauss to top and tail the bill.
