Posted on Aug 23, 2022
I would like to offer my special thanks to the many Perth Rotary Club members who have offered support to the board and I over the past couple of months.
 
A few notable notes will follow:
 
  • We have been transitioning to a new Rotary Year and things are settling down. We are looking ahead for the coming year with many of our regular events and fundraising activities coming up.
  • We will have a few decisions to make at the Club Assembly on September 30th – please come along. The Friday lunch meeting will take a different format and will be a facilitated planning session. 
  • District Governor, Ineke Oliver will be attending and has been a huge support to us all – for several months.
  • We will continue to hold our regular Friday meetings at the Parmelia Hilton Hotel. On behalf of the board, I would like to offer sincere acknowledgement to the Hawaiian Group for their support
