Presidents Message | 18th Nov 2022

 

Greetings to all!

 

 

At the recent Club Assembly and strategy session held on 30^th September we as a club identified challenges as well as opportunities to invigorate the club, our projects and meetings.

 

Members asked for more information from the board – this happened at the Friday meeting on 18/11/22 with Rotarians sharing about the club projects – current and proposed.

 

Members provided feedback about needing to address the days, times and regularity of meetings – the Club Survey will be sent out shortly – please watch out for it in your email inbox and respond.

 

Decisions and recommendations will be made by the board based on the survey results.

 

 

Members and friends of Perth Rotary Club in collaboration with Crawley Rotary Club enjoyed fellowship and a wonderful meal at the UWA club on 27^th of October to celebrate the input and impact of Rotary International in regards to eradicating polio around the world. More than $2000 was raised. Special thanks to donors.

 

A panel of speakers included Ineke Oliver, District Governor of District 9455, together with key people from the Post Polio Network of WA- Ross O’Neil (Como Rotary Club), Ian Holding and Jenni Jones.

 

Each of these amazing people, yes including DG Ineke Oliver, shared their story and journey through life as a survivor of polio. They shared candid stories of how having polio has affected their lives, and how they have not let polio slow them down. They also shared about how their long term health and wellbeing has been affected by having polio as children.

This was a moving experience for all concerned.

 

I offer my special thanks to Sam Hardie (President) and Leah Granucci (Past President) from Crawley Rotary Club for their dedication and support to organise and run the event – Bravo!

 

 

 

Club Connection Meeting - Friday December 2 at Perth Rotary Office, Level 5, 110 William Street is an opportunity for us to plan for the future of the club. Please bring your own lunch and come along. Please RSVP via Try Booking so that we know who will be attending.

 

This opportunity is for members to have their say and build on the great work of the Club Assembly held on 30 September and the club survey which will be sent in the coming days. Feedback from the Club Assembly will be sent out on Monday 21 November 2022 to align with the Survey.

 

Please respond to the Member Survey by 30^th November, as a priority. Your feedback counts.
