Karrinyup Rotary members and friends assisted with the Camp Quality Kids Only Event held at the Aquarium of Western Australia (AQUA) Function Centre recently. The event was organised and managed by Camp Quality volunteers to allow the parents and carers some time of recreation and relaxation. The children were an absolute delight to be with, being well mannered, disciplined and cheerful and a wonderful time was had by all. Sincere thanks go to Karrinyup Rotarians and friends - the past members of Karrinyup Inner Wheel for their wonderful support and assistance towards this most worth cause.

Phil Ledger and Mick Rogers had the privilege of attending the inaugural Child and Adolescent Health Service Awards. This inspiring event shone a well-deserved spotlight on the dedication, passion and unwavering commitment of our incredible health workers. Karrinyup Rotary is immensely proud to sponsor this prestigious event and we eagerly anticipate its growth and continued success in the years to come. A heartfelt congratulations go to all the winners and nominees. Your hard work and dedication makes a profound difference in the lives of so many. We applaud you!
