Last Week‟s Meeting
Matthew Gabriele, a young man
who recently scaled Mt Everest,
gave a comprehensive and
extremely interesting account
of his recent experience in
Nepal climbing Mt Everest.
Matthew‟s Power Point and
photographs provided a graphic
picture of his adventure. He
also brought along some of the
equipment used on the climb,
explaining how, since the
ascent by Sir Edmond Hillary,
the gear had significantly
improved.
Rotary‟s Connection to Mt Everest
Around six years ago two
Rotaractors climbed to the summit
of Mt Everest, hoisted the Rotary
Flag and got married up there.
Visitors and Guests
Delighted to welcome
back Jill Henderson
who is a Psychologist and
colleague of Toni James.
Rhonda and Eddie Roe from the
Rotary Club of Mandurah, who
are working tirelessly to promote
a return to teaching reading the
„old fashion way‟ with phonics.
Also, welcomed was Varun
Moudgal who came as a guest of
the Yudelman‟s as Varun found
their Maiti Foundation Website
and through RAWCS has made a
$1,000 contribution.

Induction/Welcome of the Yudelman‟s
New Membership Director PP Jim
Gould inducted Gillian and
welcomed Clifford into the RC
Freshwater Bay.
Welcome again and delighted to
have you both with us.
Meeting 13th July
A social night at Bill
and Sue Hassell‟s.
Ambra and Anna will
cook a modern Italian
meal for us. Time:
6.30pm at 20
Loneragan Street,
Nedlands. Cost: $10
per person and BYO
drinks.
Should be a wonderful
night. Many thanks
Bill, Sue and Margaret.
The End of Polio Breakfast The Rotaract Club
of Subiaco has
taken on
spearheading a
joint Rotary/
Rotaract/Global
Poverty Project
Breakfast
on Wednesday,
5th October,
2011.
The Rotaractors have put up the
deposit for the Perth Convention
Centre and need to sell 300-500
tickets to make the event
worthwhile. They require the full
support of every Rotary Club to
buy tables and for members of
Clubs who have business or
corporate connections to buy
tables. The cost is $50.00 per
person OR $260.00 for a table
of eight. It is significantly less to
purchase a table than to pay $50
p/p. Time is
7.00am - 9.00am.
With a final push being made to
see the end to Polio, this event is to
motivate and inform not only
Rotarians, but Politicians and
Corporations about what Rotary, in
conjunction with WHO, UNICEF
and the CDC have been striving
towards for more than a quarter of
a century.
See attached brochure. (Page 6)

Well done Freshwater Bay The RC of Freshwater Bay can be pleased with the recognition received this year for its efforts by both RI, with the Presidential Citation with Distinction, the District Bulletin Award and the Indigenous Service Award. Along with this, the only Community based Interact Club in the District was established and the Microscopes Project in Schools has gone from strength to strength. A host of other minor projects have also been carried out, mainly in the New Generations and International Service areas. This Rotary year, with Jenny Gill working on Fundraising, we should have the funds to do much more.
Storm the Stage Kathleen Elliott, PE of the Interact Club of Freshwater Bay has nominated for this year‟s Storm the Stage. Initiated by the RC of Cannington, Storm the Stage is a unique competition open to young people aged 16 to 19 years with a passion for drama and musical theatre. · They have a chance to win $5,000 in each of two categories as well as $1,000 in the Briggs-Gibbs Award (two members of the RC of Cannington – Don Briggs and Gerry Gibbs). · Receive guidance from arts mentors and judges · Acquire a more intimate knowledge of stagecraft and make lasting friendships with likeminded people
· Categories are for Best Performance Drama and Best Performance Musical Theatre. Local heats start in June, winners feed into semi-finals which begin in July which lead into State Finals. The National Final will take place in Brisbane in November. Website: www.stormthestage.com
Annual Dues Invoices are out and dues are payable within 30 days. To members who have remitted, thank you and to all others, remittance as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated.
Please consider Volunteering Members to host the inbound Uni Focus GSE Team from Fiji to Wiluna are still being sought. Dates are 6-10th September and 6-8th October. Please let PRID Ken know if you are able to host one or more of the
team members or to act as a driver during their stay with the Club. Like many programs of the
Rotary Foundation,
GSE is based on personal people from another culture thus promoting
World
Understanding. GSE is a wonderful program, so please consider becoming involved by hosting and or driving. In hosting only a bed and perhaps a few meals are required (depends how many meals are organised for the Team to attend out).
News from the Inbound GSE Team from Normandy, France. Members who attended the meeting last year when the Club hosted the Inbound GSE Team from D. 1640 in France will recall the great Team headed up by Team Leader Patrick Lebailly. The Team Members Sarah, Vanessa, Adnen and the „golfer; Sebastian who had a great sense of humour gave a very good presentation wearing their red berets. TL Patrick communicated just this week to say he has just handed over as President of his Club and that both Adnen and Sebastian have become Rotarians.

Interact Hamish and Jen are doing a fantastic job with the young people in the Interact Club of Freshwater Bay. Last Thursday‟s meeting Jen organised for a nurse from SCGH to talk to the members about how to best organise a Talent Show as they have agreed to have a Talent Show as a fundraising activity. After the short presentation, a movie „Born Into Brothels‟ was screened. Pizza, chocolates, popcorn, choc milk and other foods were consumed as 13 members enjoyed a coolish night, wrapped in warm gear and ugg boots. Well done Pres. Truman Forrest for your leadership with this fantastic group of young people. Members are encouraged to attend a meeting at any time to get a feel for Interact and what they are about.
RYDA The „Evaluation‟ from the last Rotary Youth Driver Awareness on 23rd June at Mirrabooka SHS was received by New Generations Director Hamish will give members an idea of how valuable this project is to our year 11 future drivers.
Comments
“The RYDA program should be
compulsory for all Year 11s in every
school, every state and every
country.”
“The day went very well but it
would be better if the presenters
had more time.”
“Hope all goes well for Dan.”
“I hope every year this session will
occur.”
“Seeing Danny made me think how
serious speeding is and I hated
seeing him like that because it
broke my heart.”
“I am more aware about how
important it is to be a safe driver.”
“Today was a real eye-opener
about road safety and what can
happen.”
“Some of the sessions were heart
breaking but real eye openers. It
was great.”
“I have learnt things today that we
will carry for the rest of our life.”
“I would like to thank all the
organisers for the program.”
The RCFB is running a RYDA for
some 200 students from Newman
College on 16th August from
9.00am to 4.00pm. Volunteers are
URGENTLY required to help out
on the day. If you are able to assist
for even a couple of hours please
contact Hamish. Working with
Children Cards are required.
Forms are available from any Post
Office or from Sec. Di. Forms need
to be signed by Pres. Bryant and
remember, these forms take time
to be processed so if you require a
card to help with RYDA please
complete it right away as time is
passing rapidly.
Microscopes for Schools Project
A flurry of enquires have come in
this past week. Three firm orders
have been placed and they are from
the RC Narrogin for 95 units for
four schools, RC Esperance Bay for
a further 20 units and RC
Wanneroo for one school (30
units) in response to a request
from a school.
Travelling Rotarians
Safe travels to Warren and
Rosemary Milner who head off to
their International College in
Wimbledon this weekend
returning end of August. Also
returning at the end of August and
leaving for the USA this weekend
are Debbie and Billie Cash.
Clifford and Gillian Yudelman are
our third couple flying out this
weekend and they will return from
Europe at the end of July. Br
James is of course off again with
one of his Pilgrimages of Hope and
Stuart James will again be a part of
his team.
Enjoy your travels. You will all be
missed and we look forward to
your return.
Bulletin Thanks Once Again to Ella
What would we do without the
James family? Again this week and
for the rest of July Ella James has
kindly agreed to put the Club
Bulletin together.
Ella, we are deeply indebted to you
and your work is sincerely
appreciated.
