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

Quiz Night
Donna Bicknell has
told Pres. Bryant that
she will be resigning

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.

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

James’ Pilgrimages of

the camp is $695 for the
week.

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.
Symposium on
Aboriginal Health

midday.

DGs Official Visit
Wed. 26th October will
be the Official Visit of
the District Governor
to the RCFB. The
Board will meet with
the DG from 5.00 to
6.00pm, followed by
the usual meeting of
the Club where the DG
will give her message
to the members.
Due to poor attendance
last year and it costing
the club a substantial
amount of money for
the meal, it has been
decided not to have a
meal for the DG’s visit
this year. If DG Liz
would like to go to a
local restaurant after
the meeting, any
members who would
like to join Pres. Bryant
and DG Liz for dinner
