Partnership Opportunities with RC Beaufort

Collaboration is fundamental to the creation of social change. Collaboratively combining skills, knowledge and expertise across sectors with other clubs enables Rotarians to have more impact on complex social problems than we can have when working alone. Recently RC Karrinyup met with the RC Beaufort to enjoy fellowship, embrace our differences, recognise that we are both striving towards the same goals and assess ways in which collaborating or partnering on common projects with common interest could deliver more effective outcomes.
