It is with a great deal of excitement that we can announce on behalf of DG Jon Bilson and DG Colin Burns, Rotary WA will host the Rotary Centennial Gala Ball, Friday 23rd April 2021 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
The Theme is “Puttin on the Ritz” and we look forward to a large contingent from the Perth Rotary Club at this event.
