Vienna Pops 2024 NYE Concert Review

REVIEW: Vienna Pops Orchestra’s NYE Gala opens era at Winthrop Hall

David Cusworth | The West Australian

Vienna Pops Orchestra’s New Year’s Eve Gala saluted the past with a glimpse of the future, moving to UWA as Winthrop Hall replaces Perth Concert Hall during three years of renovations. Musicians warming up in the undercroft, ice-cream on the lawns and drinks under the portico were a taste of things to come, but the formula on stage was constant with Mark Coughlan conducting and Strauss to top and tail the bill.

Newsletter # 7 | President Manu

Let us all get in the festive mood and start the count down. As we prepare to ring in the new year, I want you all to spend time with your family and keep thinking of the great work we do as a community leader. The year has been a great success on many fronts, and I am sure we will keep building on it in the new year. I personally would like to thank you for your support and contribution.

Rotary Activities: A Busy Fortnight

The past two weeks have been bustling with events, and I’ve had the privilege of attending many on behalf of our Club.

Newsletter # 5| President Manu

The countdown has begun – just 6 weeks to Christmas! I hope everyone is starting to get excited and kicking into planning mode for the season ahead. Whether it’s organizing the Christmas party or starting on those gift lists for family and friends, now’s the time to get it all sorted. Remember, Black Friday sales are starting on 25th Nov (and some online stores have already started early!), so start making your lists and jump on the sales as soon as the boards go up.

As for me, I’ll be staying in Perth this Christmas with the family and looking forward to catching up with friends while everyone’s on break. Have you considered buying your family tickets to the Vienna Pops Family Matinee as a Christmas Gift and also as a great way to kick off the New Year?

Hello Members and friends of Perth Rotary,

Welcome to our latest newsletter.

Where do I begin? I know where, thanking Helen and Jeff Leach for hosting yet another Bon Fire event at their farm. 70+ in attendance, a beautiful calm night filled with joy. Long table set out where people sat and enjoyed their dinner looking out to the pasture, fire pit at the front of the residence creating a relaxing ambiance.

If you know someone who is 14-17 years of age who is

Wanting an opportunity to develop and challenge themselves
Looking to develop their self-esteem and confidence
Interested in developing skills including leadership, teamwork, communication, goal setting and problem solving
Wanting to build a network of young people and to make new friends

Three amazing year 10 students presented their speech in the allotted 6 minute time frame. The winner, Alfred Keane from St George's Anglican Grammar School, went on to compete in the district semi finals this week and won. A great lunch well attended, thank you to all that came along and filled the room and were a part of the great atmosphere.

Perth Rotary | Newsletter 26 July 2023

Members and Friends of the Perth Rotary Club,

Welcome to my third newsletter where I (with a smile) share a brief note on the arrival of Marlena, our 23/24 exchange student. Covid-19 introduced a new vocabulary to us, we began talking about the 'new normal', Zoom meetings were being locked in calendars at every chance. The acronym 'WFH' was set in stone. The ATO (a pre-existing acronym) even jumped on board with regard to a deduction for home expenses, 'WFH rate'. We saw Covid-19 stop international travel, Rotary exchange as we knew it, sadly came to a grinding halt. But that was then, we are now in the 2023/24 Rotary year and Rotary exchange is back on!

Our Perth Rotary Youth Exchange is Back!

On Saturday 22nd Marlene Von Gossler was welcomed by Perth Rotary at Perth airport, our first Rotary Youth Exchange student since covid.

Only 13 returned

Anzac House, Veteran Central, Perth home of the RSL, was the perfect venue to listen to the brave exploits of a squadron of 20 Australian Spitfire Pilots during WW2.

Easter approaches, and once again we’re invited to think about life and death. What is it to be alive? It’s not just a theological question. It’s a question that affects how we tackle each day. It’s also a question that affects our Club.

What is to be alive? I guess we could say that, on the surface, a successful Club is one where the members are satisfied and the accounts balance. Everything flows smoothly. No waves. No anxiety. Universal contentment. And we have our four fundamental principles as our strength and stay: ‘Is it the truth? Is it fair? does it build goodwill and better friendships? Is it beneficial to all concerned?’

It’s time for some heart-felt congratulations.

Two weeks ago we had our first lunch meeting of the year at the Duxton Hotel with a celebration of Chinese New Year. And what a celebration it was! Everything was themed – the décor, the menu, the ambiance, the topic, the Sergeant. Nan set the ball rolling with her usual Hollywood aplomb, Sandy Chong gave a superb presentation of the cultural and political factors influencing business relationships with our regional neighbors, and the intensity of the occasion was captured by our ace paparazzi Wesley Sim. Our sublime journalist Barry Thornton, who could have made a healthy living during the Watergate saga of the 70s, but is best remembered for his cricketing fame, made sure a vivid account was front and centre of the Perth Post, Chinese Community Newspaper, and Jeff Leach excelled even himself with a range of fines as broad as the Seven Seas.

KDT Update May Trip 2023 We have not long returned from an excellent 4-week KDT May Kimberley trip. Preparations are now well in hand for our return to the region on the 22nd July for one week.

Will you sacrifice a few hours on your day off to acknowledge the people who sacrificed a lot more than that?
