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.

Helping the Salvos 2021     

For many years our Rotary Club has assisted the Salvation Army with the Annual Red Shield Appeal as part of our service to the Community. In previous years a team of volunteers from RC Karrinyup took turns over several days at the collection desk at the shopping centre. This year, however, orgainser Ross Daniel together with Trish Lynch, Ian Mackenzie and Vic Dennis held our own community stall at the Stirling Farmers Market last Sunday. The Salvos provided an EFTPOS machine for cashless donations this year and the morning was very successful taking over $600.

SOS in the CoS     

Several weeks ago, Mick, Sandra, Jane and Tess from the RC Karrinyup community service team set out on a mission to provide some relief from the cold for homeless people in the City of Stirling in the form of additional winter clothing. The aim was to collect a quantity beanies, socks, gloves and small blankets to be distributed by the City of Stirling in backpacks. Being 'People of Action', the team gathered items from work and friends and operated a stall to collect donated items from the local community at the Stirling Farmers Market.
