Meeting Wed. 14th

Andrew York General

Manager of People

Who Care was our

speaker this

week. Andrew has

been the Manager for 6

years for PWC and has

a background in

nursing.

PWC overlap areas

currently carried out by

Silver Chain and local

councils. The ground

they cover is vast,

stretching from

Yanchep to Armadale

to the Peel inlet.

Four hundred

volunteers, including

youths and six

hundred corporate

volunteers ( who

volunteer for perhaps

just a day) reduce the

budget substantially

and allow People Who

Care to be so

successful.

Volunteers are aged

from 16 to 85 and assist

with gardening

through to

transportation to

medical appointments

to shopping.

Senior Citizen Centres,

hot meals and arts and

crafts are all catered for

via PWC. One of their

major fundraising

activities is a paper

recycling in Mandurah.

Over the years there

has been a major shift

from service providers

to a vast amount of

paperwork. Something

to be considered and

addressed in the future.

Perhaps Rotary and

PWC could benefit

from working together.

It was lovely to have

Anna Hughes and

Gordon Hay with us

again for the meeting

and we look forward to

seeing much more of

both Anna and

Gordon.

Welcome Carina

Marshall

Carina Marshall was

‘officially’ inducted

into the Club last

Wednesday. Already

involved with the

Microscope project,

Carina will mainly be

working on the

Community Vocational

Committee.

Delighted to have you

as a member Carina.

Meeting 21st

September

This meeting will see

three girls from MLC

PO Box 168, Nedlands, Western Australia, 6909 District 9455 ABN: 99 602 195 617

Gordon Hay, Anna Hughes and Clifford Yudelman


Tiffany Chua, Jia Ying

Kho and Sophie

Wooldridge compete in

the Four Way Test

Speaking Competition.

Each will speak for 6

minutes on any subject

of their choosing,

weaving in Rotary’s

Four Way Test.

1. Is it the

TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all

concerned?

3. Will it build

GOODWILL and

BETTER

FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be

BENEFICIAL to all

concerned?

The winner will receive

a $50 book voucher and

proceed to the next

round. All three

participants will

receive a Certificate of

Participation.

Next Social Function

Members, partners and

‘Friends’ of the RCFB

are asked to come

along and enjoy a mix

and mingle ‘Cocktail’

function on Sunday,

23rd October, 2011 from

4.30pm to 6.30pm.

More details will be

announced along with

the venue.

Please put the date in

your diary.

Quiz Night

Donna Bicknell has

told Pres. Bryant that

she will be resigning

from the Club,

therefore, the Quiz

Night she was to

organise is looking for

volunteers from the

members to take this

on and make it

happen. Remember,

funds are required for

the Club to support

projects.

Please put your hand

up to help put a Quiz

Night in place as soon

as possible.

Thank you Donna for

your contribution to

the Club and we look

forward to seeing you

at the End Polio

Breakfast.

Science Experience

The Science Experience

is a fun three days of

science activities for

students in Yr 9.

Each program is

designed to provide

those interested in

science with an

opportunity to engage

in a wide range of

science activities under

the guidance of

scientists.

It is aimed at

encouraging students

with an interest to

continue study in

science, mathematics

and technology.

Held each January,

seven students from

Christ Church

Grammar have applied

to attend through the

RCFB. The Club will

sponsor each for $80

and have asked

students to contribute

$30 each to give them

some responsibility

and commitment to

attend. Total cost of per

student for the three

day experience is $110.

Rotary Youth

Leadership Award

Camp

The RYLA Camp offers

men and women

between the ages of 18

and 25 an opportunity

to attend a residential

seminar designed to

develop their

leadership skills.

Rotarians and partners

are invited to attend

the final night dinner at

the seminar. The meal

and entertainment are

prepared entirely by

the participants

themselves.

The camp will be held

between 28th January

and 3rd February, 2012

and Stuart James is the

applicant who will be

sponsored by the

RCFB. Stuart, a fine

young man and son of

Toni and Bill James has

participated on Br.

James’ Pilgrimages of

Hope to India, Nepal

and central

Australia. The cost of

the camp is $695 for the

week.

Interact Talent Night

A couple of weeks

back, Liam Nuttall

from the Interact Club

of Freshwater Bay

asked for members to

consider sponsoring

$200 prize money

towards their Talent

Speaker Andrew York with Warren, Paddy & Pres. Bryant


Night fundraising

activity in November.

Our members Clifford

and Gillian Yudelman

very quickly offered to

support this request. A

huge thank you to

Clifford and Gillian.

Group Study

Exchange

Our Applicant David

Gulland has been

successful in being

selected in the

outbound Group Study

Exchange Team to D.

6910, Georgia in May

June 2012.

Congratulations David,

you will be a great

asset to the Team.

Student Thomas

Marquis from France

Our member Warren

Milner generously

donated three

Scholarships to French

students at his Milner

International College.

Due to a very

unfortunate situation

with internet scam, two

students who were

cousins returned home.

One remaining,

Thomas Marquis,

whom Ken and Di took

out for a day, is now

back in Corsica and has

returned to University.

Tomas emailed the

following:

“I send you this email to

let you know that I’m in

Corsica, my trip to come

back in France has been

very long but it was fine,

with lots of souvenirs,

thinking to the good time

I spend in Australia.

I want to thank you again

for your kindness and

everything you did for

me, I hope I’ll come back

one day and see you

again.

I start my master degree

on 12th. I’m very excited

to go back in my

university but things are

different now, I really

want to travel and study

abroad.

Thank you for everything,

kind regards

Tomas Marquis”

Warren, this

scholarship you gave to

Tomas has changed his

life. He told us how

much his time at your

College has broadened

his vision and opened

him up to people of

cultures he had never

encountered. Thank

you for changing this

wonderful young

man’s life. We know

how grateful he is to

you for the opportunity

you gave him.

From the Rotary Club

of Nedlands Bulletin

"Committee Meetings"

These are a very

important part of being

a Rotarian and

President Doris Strahan

has spoken out in

support of our

Directors and

committees who

encounter poor

attendance, reminding

all members of how

important full

attendance at these

meetings is for the

effective functioning of

our committees and the

Club, and for the

timely delivery of

projects. This support

for each other, and the

ensuing feeling of

being supported by

others, are also equally

vital for the ongoing

enthusiasm and morale

of all Club members.’

Well said Doris.

Without regular

committee meetings a

club is unhealthy and

cannot function

efficiently.

Microscopes in

Schools Project

Sec. Di and Carina

Marshall met with the

head of science at

Curtin University last

Friday morning.

From this meeting a

spreadsheet has been

developed of

sponsoring clubs and

schools with

microscopes. To date

39 Rotary Clubs have

sponsored 3,760 units

in 142 schools. Two

corporations,

Watercorp and La

Mancha Resources in

Kalgoorlie have

sponsored two schools

each. Currently, 15

schools (450 units) are

awaiting

sponsors. Clubs have

been approached to

sponsor each request

that has been received,

however it can be a

lengthy process to have

clubs agree to sponsor

schools.

Two Clubs (with a

third in the pipeline) in

NSW have sponsored

three schools and

enquires are coming in

from Victoria and

South Australia.

The RC FB presented

30 microscopes to the

Dalkeith PS on

Thursday 15th

September and two

more schools,

Quintilian and

Swanbourne Primary

Schools will be

presented with 30 units

each at 9.00am and

9.25am respectively on

Friday, 23rd

September. Any

members who would

like to attend the

School Assemblies are

encouraged to do so.

Declaration of

Rotarians in

Businesses and

Professions.

The Declaration of

Rotarians in Businesses

and Professions has

been downloaded from

the RI Website by Ken

and sent out to all

members of the Club.

Pride of Workmanship

Awards will be

business people on

Wed. 26th October at

the District Governor’s

Vocational service –

Vocational Service

Month

Don’t forget that

October is Vocational

Service month, so make

a special effort this year

to utilize speakers to

your club stressing this

special month.

All members of Rotary

have been invited to

join a club as

outstanding members

of their profession.

Therefore current and

new members should

be aware of Rotary’s

commitment to high

professional standards

through the 4-way test.

As speakers one can

utilize the current club

members by learning

about their professions,

understanding their

problems plus future

goals within their

business or industry.

In addition there are

many young

professionals located

close to your club

(Motor mechanics,

health services, school

teachers etc). Invite

them along to hear of

their experiences and

problems, this is good

PR and may result in

more potential

members. Reward

them for their

contributions to the

community with a club

certificate. It makes

them feel proud in

their contribution to

the community.

Finally don’t forget the

Changemaker Awards

for your Club as the

year is

progressing. The

requirements for this

award for vocational

service is listed below:

Vocational Service

More than 50 percent

of club members are

active in vocational

service projects and

activities.

All club members

display the Declaration

of Rotarians in

Professions at their

counselling or

vocational training

program in the

community.

Conduct a program to

recognize high ethical

standards and public

values in the

community.

Promote The Four-Way

Test to New

Generations programs

educational

institutions.

networking event in

which club members

can meet other local

professionals and

introduce them to

Rotary.

Sponsor a career day in

which club members

bring young people to

career opportunities.

There are a total of 7

options above, and

your club should

complete at least 3

avenues of services to

be successful for the
