Rotary International recently announced their seventh new area of focus: supporting the environment. Always in the vanguard of new ideals, the Rotary Club of Karrinyup has already embraced this. President Richard presented the Board of Directors for the 2020 - 2021 year with a special welcome to new Director Jenni. This hard working team will take on the responsibility and care of the club during this Rotary year.

Summary of the 2019 - 2020 Rotary Year

President Richard stated that this evening marked the end of a chapter for the Club, as it is traditionally the time for a changeover dinner. The Board had previously agreed that due to the impact of COVID19, a formal changeover would not occur at this time. Instead a formal Gala Evening is being planned, where members and guests are invited to celebrate the 2019-2020 Rotary Year and where Club awards will be presented. More information and invitations on this will be sent in the very near future.

Stirling Farmers Market is Back

RC Karrinyup is delighted to announce that, starting on Sunday 3rd May, our Stirling Farmers Market has been allowed to open BUT with quite a few differences in place. While once again our community is able to access fresh produce, the market is not yet a place to socialise, as we still need to practice social distancing. Please follow the new guidelines and, for the time being, come and shop alone, then leave without stopping for a chat.
