Greetings to all,
There is an age-old maxim of “A change is as good as a holiday”. Quite relevant for us
this week; whilst two parties from our club were away working on projects in Timor and
Indonesia, a number of us remaining members and partners enjoyed a great night of
fellowship on Monday evening at the Steel Tree Restaurant in Baldivis. As usual the
Steel Tree top quality cuisine, with the bonus of 50% discount for the second main meal
when ordering in pairs. It was especially pleasing to have Barry Winmar’s entire family
join us for the evening. With families being so busy these days with their multitude of
weekly activities, bringing the whole family together for a Monday night gathering was
most impressive!
Our overseas workers appear to have fully immersed themselves in their respective
projects, judging by the photos that have appeared on social media. The local residents
all appear to be very welcoming and thankful to the gentlemen. Shall look forward to
hearing further details when they have returned.
A special congratulations is due to our friend Wayne Milnes from the Rotary Club of
Rockingham. It has just been announced by DG Linda McLerie that Wayne will be the
2019 – 2020 District Governor for Rotary District 9465. Over the years Wayne has held
a number of significant positions, including Club President, District Secretary, and
Assistant Governor. No doubt he will do a wonderful job as District Governor. We
wish Wayne and Suzanne all the very best for their preparations over the next two years.

President’s Report
1. Thank you to James, Edd & Bob T and all the helpers for another successful Bunnings sausage
sizzle; it is a credit to all concerned.
2. I also believe the Wellard Markets went off well on Sunday, and again thanks to Chris, John and
all the volunteers that helped out on the day.
3. Thanks to James we had another great article in the Kwinana Courier; if anyone needs a copy
see Bob Cooper – he may lend you one out the 500 he has!
4. I also believe the District training (C.O.T.S) was informative, and thank you to all that attended.
5. Foundation Grants Seminar and C.O.T.S: myself and Bob Cooper will attend the sessions in
Esperance on May 28th
after our return from Timor-Leste (yes, we are still speaking to each
other).
6. Directors and Service Managers: your budget for the 2017 – 2018 Rotary year is now due.
7. District Grants are now open for applications and your Board has the forms if you wish to apply.
International
The International Committee is carrying out the following:
Bob Cooper and myself are in Timor-Leste from the 7th May to the 20
th May, and all is going well for
the two grumpy old men.
Two projects have now been completed :
Running tap water into the sisters’ house at Tutuala, and an extra 570,000litres of water (it’s a big
tank!) including an alternative water supply to the Don Bosco Ag School at Fuiloro.
I will be the guest speaker at

for up to 45 participants, aims to create in young adults an awareness of their place in and
responsibility towards society. Participants are sponsored and paid for (at a cost of around $295 pp) by
the many Rotary Clubs within District 9464 who see RYPEN as a great opportunity to demonstrate
their commitment to youth in their community.
Who Should Apply?
Teenagers between fourteen and seventeen years of age who have not yet experienced leadership
positions, but who have the potential to benefit from such exposure.
What Does RYPEN Offer?
Increased motivation and improved life skills
Better self image and more pride in self
An understanding of how to set and achieve goals
The confidence to overcome failure and take control of one’s future
An opportunity to challenge personal boundaries.
What Does it Involve?
RYPEN is an intensive programme which includes developing and implementing problem-solving
skills. At the same time participants from different backgrounds are interacting with each other and
improving their teamwork skills. Activities may include a low ropes course, a team-building course,
workshops, games and more done in an informal atmosphere, where questions and debate are
encouraged.
