Club media manager, Barry Thornton, was far from ecstatic when he heard all elective surgery in WA hospitals would be put on hold until the Pandemic was over.
PERTH ROTARY - PRESIDENTS UPDATE - 03rd April 2020
Rotarians and friends of Perth Rotary,
The pandemic and the recent restrictions which keep most of us in limited action and activity have given the opportunity to our club to open a “Window to the World”!
Wednesday 8/4 (time to be announced soon…)
"Perth Rotary | ZOOM IN" will connect live with Rotary China next Wednesday and with Rotarians from a number of local Clubs to discuss: “China, The Day After”.
“After having started from our country, presenting the entry level in this COVID-19 cycle with Dr. Nick Kontorinis and later connecting live with Dr. Canzonieri in Italy, a country sitting at the peak stage of this pandemic, next Wednesday we’ll be live with Rotary China to find out how different life at the end of the cycle. Details to be announced soon.”
It started with a simple sound and video check at 5pm on Wednesday with Professor Vincenzo Canzonieri from his office in Aviano, Northern Italy to the home of the Past President of Perth Rotary, Wesley Sim, in Mount Claremont. It was all good. Between 5:45pm and 7pm, it became an international assembly of over 40 Rotarians hosted by the members of Perth Rotary. The meeting facilitated through Zoom was attended by Rotarians from cities spread across the world from Italy to Malta, Africa, Belgium, Taiwan, China and back.
Donald Mazzucchelli is at home happy and smiling because he managed to get his leg done before the limits on surgery were imposed.
Laura is currently stay with the Inouye family.
Pedals, hoofs, feet. Plenty of fresh air, open space, and things to do while self-isolating with Laura in our ‘back 40’ up in Gidgegannup.

Vale Felix Pinczuk.
(Husband of Judith Pinczuk)
Members of Perth Rotary between 1981 and 1999 would remember Felix, who was Director of Finance at the Water Corporation until 1966. Felix attended Perth Rotary as ‘make-ups’ for Holdfast Bay in South Australia to the end of June. (Holdfast Bay had a perfect membership attendance for the 1980/81 year and Felix promised to ensure that they would not lose this through him.) In July 1981 he became a member of the Rotary Club of Perth. Averse to admitting to failing eyesight Felix retired from Rotary in 1991.
