Greetings to all,

Those members and partners who attended the restaurant meeting at Penang Noodle

House in Bertram on Monday evening enjoyed a great night of food and fellowship.

As an added bonus, we had the pleasure of having Barry and Hazel Berger joining us

for the evening, which always adds to the atmosphere. The staff at Penang Noodle

House provided us with a plentiful supply of food – so much in fact that for possibly

the first time ever, our very own Sam Cuplovic was heard to say, “No more for me.

I’ve had enough!”. My apologies for the lack of photos of the evening. Your worthy

bulletin editor was so busy talking that she completely forgot to take any photos. Can

highly recommend the restaurant for value for money. Many thanks to Club Service

Director Steve Castelli for organising the evening. We can now look forward to the

next restaurant meeting in November.

By now flexibility must be Steve Castelli’s middle name, what with all the

adjustments and modifications he has had to make with organising upcoming events

such as the food and wine tour and Christmas function. However, full credit to him

for being prepared to listen to the feedback of members and partners and adjust plans

accordingly. The months ahead look likely to be very busy, but a lot of fun for

members and partners.

Good to hear that PP Max Bird has returned safely to Australia after his latest trip

to Timor. No doubt there will soon be a presentation of his latest efforts with the

team.

Thanks to all those members and partners present at this week’s restaurant meeting at Penang Noodle House. The staff have done a great job of looking after us!

Wine tour scheduled for Saturday 21 October: we have two vacancies remaining for anyone

wishing to attend. $10 per head for bus hire; other costs according to your own purchases!

As per recent email, have changed the luncheon venue from Millbrook Winery to the

Jarrahdale Tavern. See detailed itinerary next page.

On Monday 6 November we will be having another restaurant meeting.

After Monday night’s little discussion, regarding is it a good idea having the Rotary Christmas function on 24/12 when people are preparing for their own family Christmases and

also preparing for the Rotary Lolly Run around town on the following day, I got onto the

COK booking officer, and she advised that there had been a cancellation for Sunday the 10th

of Dec. So, to cut a long story short, I have changed the booking for the Patio at the

Adventure Playground from Sun 24/12 to Sun 10/12. Still the same time 09:00 to 12:00.

This means that we will have the Wellard Markets on the Sat night, followed by the Xmas

party with invited guests the following morning.

On Monday 23 October we will be having a “Soup Saver Night” at

Rotary Hall as a fundraiser for End Polio Now. The cost will be $20

per head. Many thanks to those people who have volunteered to

make a soup for the evening – Eric and Gladys Blogg, James and

Cathy Sharkey, Mike Metcalf, Brian and Colleen McCallum, Greg

and Marge Williams, Bob and Wendy Cooper, Steve Castelli.

Received recent email from The Rotary Foundation. Message as follows:

Rotarian Ian,

Did you know that more than 775 million people over age 15 can’t

read? That’s 17% of the world’s adult population. And that figure

will grow when the 122 million children who also cannot yet read

become adults.

Each year, a new global grant from The Rotary Foundation extends

literacy efforts to about 50 more primary and secondary schools.

We can empower educators around the world to inspire learning at

all ages by donating to The Rotary Foundation.

Sincerely,

The Rotary Foundation

Rotary in Action

As severe storms, an earthquake, and hurricanes wreak havoc across the globe, The Rotary Foundation and Rotary clubs in affected areas have been helping bring emergency aid to battered communities. http://on.rotary.org/2w1tSVI

The ShelterBox team has been very busy, sending shelter kits to affected regions.

ShelterBox Update (15/09/2017) UPDATE: Four highly-trained ShelterBox Response Teams have been deployed to help families who have lost everything after Hurricane Irma.

Our team in Panama has moved to Barbados to work on the complex logistics of getting aid to the most vulnerable. 300 ShelterKits are now in Antigua with the remaining 200 en route to St Kitts and Nevis, where a second team will soon start distributing aid. A third team is going to the Dominican Republic where we're hoping to provide another 500 ShelterKits, and a fourth team is going to the British Virgin Islands today.
