The next Wellard Village Markets are to be held on Sunday 10th

August

WVM meeting with all stakeholders held Thursday 10th

July at

John Wellard Hall, some very positive outcomes. The Market

location will move closer to the Shopping precinct when the shops

open in November. With the emergence of the new market at the

Darious location Wendy has formulated a ‘roster’ to spread the

Peet &Co have a reduced but adequate budget for the continuation

of the Wellard Markets, we are committed until March 2015.

City Square Markets are progressing nicely, see a ‘graphic design’

of a suggested logo and mark your preference. Still much work to

be done, looking at a November commencement.

Busy Bees are being organised so that we can keep our premises

and our equipment respectable, please make yourself available by

adding to the list being sent around.

Kwinana Children’s Playground is fast becoming a reality, City of

Kwinana has included it’s construction in this year’s budget.

Lorraine is looking for candidates to attend RYPEN which will

ShelterBox Ambassador Recognised For Outstanding Service

ShelterBox Australia relies on a network of

volunteer Ambassadors to help spread

awareness and raise funds for disaster

relief. One of our longest serving

Ambassadors is Western Australian,

Gordon Cargeeg. Gordon, now in his

nineties, is a Past District Governor and

member of the Rotary Club of Melville in

Perth and was recently awarded a

Certificate of Gratitude for his voluntary

work, promoting Shelterbox.

The award was presented at the Melville

club’s changeover dinner on behalf of the

Board of ShelterBox Australia by District

9455 ShelterBox Representative, David

Brockway, . David said that Gordon’s

“magnificent efforts to promote ShelterBox

have resulted in many hundreds of

ShelterBoxes to be funded and

subsequently deployed to many areas of

need around the world.“

Upon receiving the award, Gordon said, ‘My first contact with ShelterBox was in the Rotary

Year 2004-5. DG John Iriks, on returning from a meeting in the Eastern States, having seen

the ShelterBox Program , asked me if I would obtain further details. I contacted them

(ShelterBox) and they arranged for a complete box to be sent West.

Since then the box and contents has been shown extensively throughout the

state. eg All District conferences, Club meetings. Royal & local shows (in conjunction with

Scouts)

This has given much publicity, resulting in valuable contributions & support over the ensuing

years.”

ShelterBox has gone from strength to strength in Western Australia, with the Rotary Club of

Melville alone funding more than 42 boxes, the most recent of which were deployed to the

Philippines. A big thank you to Gordon, the Rotary Club of Melville and all our supporters in

Western Australia.
