Support for RYLA 2021

The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program offers young men and women between the ages of 18 and 25 years an opportunity to attend a residential seminar designed to develop their leadership skills. RC Karrinyup sponsored three worthy participants to the 2021 RYLA program held recently - Phoebe Earnshaw, Abdiwahab Hillow and Audrey Repsevicius. The young people will present an account of their experience to members at a club meeting early in March.

Boost for Mens Shed

The Karrinyup Community Men’s Shed is set to receive $15,000 towards a range of sustainability measures including a water bore, solar panels and electrical work under a re-elected McGowan Government. Former Community Service Director Peter Polain was on hand to welcome Premier Mark McGowan and David Michael MLA to the Shed last week, when the announcement was made. The visit was initiated by Balcatta MLA David Michael, who is a great supporter of the Shed.

Club Major Donor Recognition

The Rotary Club of Karrinyup has been recognised as a Club Major Donor - Bronze for having made contributions of more than $US1000,000 over the years. The Club Major Donor Program allows The Rotary Foundation to express its gratitude for the club's proud history of giving over many years or decades. Alongside personal giving, club giving is the lifeblood of the Foundation's goal of 'doing good in the world.' This is a very proud history of giving and worthy of celebration. View certificate.

Support for Foodbank WA 2020

Since the inception of Foodbank WA over twenty-five years ago, RC Karrinyup has been a strong supporter. This week, Foodbank's Community Engagement representative Aggie Przybylo visited our club to bring us up to date with what has been happening since COVID-19 struck earlier this year. Foodbank WA redistributes oversupplied and donated food to those in need but this year the need has been huge. Former Community Service Director Peter advised that the club had recently made our substantial annual donation, just in time for Christmas.

Mens Shed Gives Back to the Community

The Karrinyup Community Men's Shed was a major project of RC Karrinyup Community Service. Now established as a self sufficient organisation, the Shed has found a way to 'give back' to the Community. Playgroup WA recently hosted a family picnic in the park for vulnerable families. The event celebrated recovery from perinatal anxiety and depression, a mental health condition that affects one in five mothers and one in ten fathers or 7000 new WA families every year. Thanks to Karrinyup Community Men’s Shed, they were able to host a gardening workshop for all the families, potting herb seedlings into the pine planter boxes.

Defibrillator for Street Chaplains

Street Chaplains are non-denominational volunteers, who are ‘Good Samaritans,’ providing crisis care unconditionally to any in need on the streets of our city. They offer compassion and practical help to all, who need and want it, especially the most vulnerable. They had a necessity for a portable defibrillator, which would enable them to administer CPR, when they were required to deal with such emergencies and approached local MP Tony Krsticevic MLA requesting assistance. Tony contacted RC Karrinyup, who, as 'People of Action', made it happen and recently made the presentation.

End Polio Now at Stirling Farmers Market

To mark World Polio Day, our International Service team of Ken and Sandra conducted an End Polio Now Community awareness stall at the Stirling Farmers Market. With the last reported case in Australia being in 1972, they found little interest in the community, because the disease has all but been eliminated due to the vaccine. Rotary is dedicated to the eradication of this potentially fatal infectious disease for which there is no cure but which can be prevented through immunization. The world is so close to achieving the goal of a polio free world. RC Karrinyup made a significant contribution to the polio eradication this week. Read More...

Karrinyup Community Mens Shed Update October 2020

Jeff Crookes from the Karrinyup Community Men’s Shed (KCMS), seen here with Ross and Peter, gave us an update on the Shed. This RC Karrinyup's major Community Service project was planned some seven years ago. It has now become a reality and has been flourishing for two years. The RC Karrinyup has provided considerable funding for the establishment of the Shed, which is now self-sufficient on an operational basis and no longer in need of support from RC Karrinyup. This project has been achieved because of Rotary and is an excellent example of Rotary making a difference to people’s lives.

SpecSavers Partnership Update 2020

RC Karrinyup has enjoyed a fabulous partnership with Specsavers Karrinyup over the past few years. Our member Klaus collects frames that are no longer required (many of them in perfect condition). These are then passed on to the RC West Perth for their spectacle recycling program, At our gala evening last week store manager Angela was presented with a certificate of appreciation as a small 'thank you' for their wonderful support.

Paul Harris Fellow Honour to Bec

At the recent Gala Awards Evening, longstanding Rotary Club of Karrinyup supporter Bec was honoured with a Paul Harris Fellow. RC Karrinyup contributes significant amounts from fund raising activities to The Rotary Foundation. For each US$1000 contributed the club earns credits. The club may decide to use these credits to honour an individual, whose life demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives and mission of The Rotary Foundation to build world understanding and peace. This honour is not given lightly.
