We would like to invite Perth Rotarians to join the ‘Meso Warriors’ in this year’s HBF Run for a Reason on Sunday 24 May
Reflections Mesothelioma Support Network began over 6 years ago when our founder, Barry Knowles, along with a few fellow sufferers, formed a community of people who understood, only too well, this terminal, asbestos-related cancer. Appreciating the value of a shared journey – a safe place where people could connect, share and ‘walk alongside’ one another – they met monthly in homes and offered one-on-one support as needed. The group has developed over the years providing care and support to many sufferers and their loved ones.

PERTH ROTARY - PRESIDENTS UPDATE - 29th October 2019
Fellow Rotarians and friends of Perth Rotary,
You may have noticed that I use the word “life-changing” quite often whenever I refer to our Club and our projects. Some may see this as an exaggeration or as a rhetoric expression of enthusiasm.
Life-changing refers to an event, a fact or an experience having an effect that is strong enough to change someone's life.
Last week we had a demonstration of this life-changing experience in all its magnitude through a series of events.
Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.

Fellow Rotarians and friends of Perth Rotary,
“Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. At room temperature and pressure, another solid form of carbon known as graphite is the chemically stable form, but diamond almost never converts to it. Diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any natural material, properties that are utilised in major industrial applications such as cutting and polishing tools. They are also the reason that diamond anvil cells can subject materials to pressures found deep in the Earth. Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colours). Most natural diamonds have ages between 1 billion and 3.5 billion years. Most were formed at depths between 150 and 250 kilometres (93 and 155 mi) in the Earth's mantle, although a few have come from as deep as 800 kilometres (500 mi). Under high pressure and temperature, carbon-containing fluids dissolved minerals and replaced them with diamonds.“ - Wikipedia
Homeless Connect is in desperate need of donations for their Homeless Connect Day on the 13th of November.
During these economically difficult times, most of us can still manage to have a few niceties in life. Would you consider fresh new underwear or the availability of sanitary products niceties? Well there is a very large group of Western Australians who unfortunately do consider such items as luxury in their daily struggles.
It's Official! The Rotary Blessing of the Fleet will now take place on Tuesday 19th November!

Fellow Rotarians and friends of Perth Rotary,
Perth Rotary (The Perth Rotary Club) held its inaugural meeting on 25 August 1926 at the Palace Hotel in St George’s Terrace. The meeting was convened by Sir William Lathlain (later Mayor of Perth). Prominent personalities attending included Archbishop Riley, Sir Talbot Hobbs and Major (later Sir) Norman Brearley.
Since then our Club has been writing history, changing the lives of people in our city, in our country and even around the world.
PERTH ROTARY - PRESIDENTS UPDATE - 8th October 2019
Fellow Rotarians and friends of Perth Rotary,
As we all know very well, Rotary sits above and beyond any political or religious dogma and unites people under the 4 Way Test and the Rotary culture of providing service to those in need. Rotary believes in inclusion, diversion and equality among the people and Perth Rotary demonstrates these principles through its members and their actions.
Under this spectrum, last Friday our Club exemplified its title of the Leading Club by organising a meeting that will be remembered for its impact to the community.
PERTH ROTARY - PRESIDENTS UPDATE - 1st October 2019

The Very Reverend John Shepherd taking us on a visual tour of Rome and telling us of his experience as the Director of the Anglican Centre in Rome. Entertaining as always.
