Stan Perron Award to Warwick SHS Student

Past District Governor Fred Marsh (RC Scarborough) made a belated presentation to Abdiwahab Hillow from our link school Warwick SHS, winner of an inaugural Stan Perron Award. Abdiwahab was nominated by his school as a student, who met all the criteria. The award, funded by the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation, seeks students, who excel both academically and at sport, make a contribution to the school community service and who emulate the elements of Rotary’s Four Way Test in their relationship with their teachers and fellow students. The award provides a medal and a scholarship of $500 towards further education.

Vocational Visit WA Fire & Rescue

Vocational Service is the way Rotary fosters and supports the application of the Ideal of Service to the pursuit of all vocations so it was great to have a Vocational Visit to learn about the WA Fire and Rescue Service. Simon Pearce, a Firefighter based at the Duncraig Fire Station, presented on the work of the WA Fire and Rescue Service and spoke about staying fire safe in the home. Simon's colleagues, who were on duty for the evening assisted with answering many questions. Following the presentation, the team demonstrated the function of the fire engine and tender.

Market Update August 2020

The Stirling Farmers' Market not only provides the club with a steady source of income for all our many wonderful projects but is also a major Community Service project and a constant reminder to the local community of the presence and effectiveness of the Rotary Club of Karrinyup. It has been a while since we have had an update on the status quo, so we were happy to hear a report this week from Market Manager Peter Polain, who, along with Market Administrator Heather, spends many hours each week behind the scenes ensuring all goes smoothly each Sunday.

Honorary Membership to Tony Bayliss

Retiring member Tony Bayliss joined the Rotary Club of Karrinyup forty three years ago in February 1977, making him our second longest serving member after Charter Member Ian McDonagh. During his many long years with us, Tony has served the club in many different capacities. He was named a Paul Harris Fellow in 1991-1992 and received a Sapphire Pin in 2015-2016 for his huge contribution to the Earbus project. President Richard Prunster was delighted to present Tony with Honorary Membership of the Rotary Club of Karrinyup. 

Rotary Employment Project in WA

Jenni Wilke introduced our guest speaker Amy Perrie from 'Inclusion Solutions', a mentoring, training and consultancy service, which supports the work and objectives of Inclusion WA, a not-for-profit organisation with a proud 25 plus year history. Amy spoke to us about the Rotary Employment Project, which aims to find opportunities within the community that connect individuals to employment, based on their interests and skill sets.

Presentation of Board of Directors for 2020-2021

Looking ahead, the creation of an inaugural Earth Committee will set the Club direction and promote environmental strategies and projects into the future. 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.

Support for the Environment is RI New Area of Forcus

Rotary International is proud to announce a new area of focus: supporting the environment, which will provide members with more ways to bring about positive change in the world. Always one step ahead, RC Karrinyup has already headed down this path with the establishment earlier this year of our dedicated Earth committee. This committee is charged with working on projects designed to nurture our planet. If you would like to be part of our Earth Committee please Contact us
