Perth Rotary Bonfire Night is on again.... Saturday 9 August 2025.
Dear Perth Rotary Members and Friends,
How exciting to be given the opportunity once again, to work alongside this great club as we lead into our Centenary Year. One Hundred Years of serving the Community of Western Australia is an amazing legacy and a privilege for us to know that we have all contributed in some small way. We have every right to be proud and loud about the achievements of Rotary and particularly the achievement of this Club… However… our work is only just beginning. Together we are at our Best – and that goes for not only this club but the whole of WA. Hence our Centenary Celebrations are a Celebration of Rotary throughout Western Australia.
Kimberley Dental Team Ltd was founded by Jan and John Owen in May 2009 as a result of their experience in Halls Creek.
In May 2009, Dr. John Owen accompanied his wife Jan, dental nurse and dental health educator in her earlier career, to Halls Creek. The visit occurred because of Jan’s participation in the choir Madjitil Moorna: Singers of Aboriginal songs, who had been invited by an Aboriginal school teacher, Doreen Green, to sing with the children of the Halls Creek District High School. The school welcomed their dental expertise as they had been without a dental therapy service for a considerable time and many children suffered dental disease and pain. This afforded the opportunity for Jan and John to provide dental screening and dental health education (DHE) to the local school children during the week of the choir visit.
An update from Shelterbox Australia CEO, Mike Greenslade regarding the constant challenges faced.....
“The sharp rise in the number of people displaced within their own countries is a worrying trend, affecting more countries and territories around the world. “More than 1.6 million people are being uprooted from their homes every week on average because of conflict or disaster, yet not enough is being done to protect people from being displaced. “Even more sobering is that people displaced by conflict are being displaced by extreme weather too, and that makes it far harder for people to recover. “We’re seeing this in many of our responses, where communities, in places like Yemen, Myanmar, and Mozambique don't have time to recover from one crisis before the next one hits. “While it’s becoming harder and harder for humanitarian organisations to meet the challenges with fewer funding options, we’re continuously adapting, working with local people to find better and longer-lasting solutions.”
Dear all
This may well be my final address as President of Perth Rotary, though I just might squeeze in one more before my term concludes. While our official Changeover is scheduled for 20th June, the Rotary year technically runs until 30th June 2025. I’ll chat with President Elect Jill and see if I can put my foot down one last time—it’s worth a shot!
On 26 June 2025 I will be joining the Vinnies CEO Sleepout again because no one should be without a place to call home.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
VALE PDG RABBI SHALOM COLEMAN It is with deep regret that the club was advised of the passing of PDG Rabbi Shalom Coleman, on the morning 26 April 2025, aged 106 years. Rabbi Coleman was a Past President of the Perth Rotary Club 1985 - 1986. Rabbi attended the Presidents Cocktail Party this year where he provided a short address to members. He asked us all to strive to be good Human Beings.

This year marks a significant transition as we move toward retirement, with a consolidated schedule featuring two intensive clinical weeks in May.
Dear all
We are in the final quarter of the Rotary year which means I am already seeing the finish line to 30th June as PE Jill Dawson gears up for taking over as the 99th President of the club. We concluded our board meeting last night and I can only assure you that we have some great ideas and discussions being held as we embark on a journey towards our Centenary Year. I want each and every Rotarian to be proud of their association and contribution to Rotary and be part of this journey as I, myself, have never been a part of an organisation that is 100 year old. That basically means that as Rotarians, we have served the West Australian community for almost 100 years. I share with all our charter certificate dating back to 15th April 1927.
Hi, I'm Abby,
......an exchange student from Taiwan. My life here in Perth, Australia has been really rich and exciting, and I’d love to share some fun and special experiences from the past few months.
Dear all
It’s the week of the District Conference and I will be attending together with approx. 280 Rotarians and their partners in Margaret River at HEART (Hub of Entertainment, Arts and Regional Tourism). I look forward to meeting lots of old and new Rotarians and spending some downtime with a short break down south as well.
History of Connection Western Australia and California
A Legacy of Rotary Exchange | In 1967, Rotary International (“RI”) District Governor John H. Clay appointed Herb Hezlep III from the Monrovia Rotary Club (RI District #530, currently #5300 California & Nevada) to lead the inaugural Group Study Exchange (“GSE”) between District #530 and Western Australia (RI District #245, currently District #9423). Herb collaborated closely with Bill Holywell, leader of the Western Australian team, to organise an intensive eight-week itinerary, which included 105 host families, study visits, speaking engagements, 29 Rotary lunches, and participation in the District Conference in Las Vegas.
North Perth Rotary began organizing the Hyde Park Festival 37 years ago. Since then Rotary Clubs from all over the state have joined the initiative to the extent there is now a Rotary Lane dissecting the park.

A message from Rotary International President, Stephanie Urchick to all Rotarians and Members of the International Community,
March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate and reflect on the vital roles that women play in our communities. I want to use this occasion to recognize women in Rotary -- like you-- for their tremendous contributions to our organization. Rotary and Rotaract clubs thrive when they create a welcoming and inclusive environment and enable women to foster meaningful connections, serve our communities, and lead.

Dear all
The AFL season has kicked off today with my support going to the purple army once again this year. I do know that we are not meant to talk politics and religion in Rotary so sports will hopefully keep us united and doesn’t get added to the list. As the NBA legend, LeBron James, said: “Don't be afraid of failure. This is the way to succeed”. I hope that quote comes true and we can have the “dream come true” moment in 2025. Good luck to all the participating teams!!
The year 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the Rotary Youth Exchange program as one of Rotary International’s official youth programs. Although the program started well before 1975, Rotary members, program volunteers, and alumni everywhere should be proud to celebrate the last fifty years as the program has grown and become a prime example of Rotary service worldwide for so many. Rotary Youth Exchange would not be possible without the essential work that volunteers—Rotary members or nonmembers alike—contribute year after year.
The Perth Rotary Club has been privileged to host many Rotary Youth Exchange Students over the years, most recently Abby Lin from Taiwan. We have also enabled many a student to spend a year in another country in exchange for hosting. Currently we have Eva Sussex who is spending 2025 in Sweden.
Dear all
I have some great news to share with you all. We are scheduled to have Martin Crabb (CIO – Shaw & Partners) present to the club as the guest speaker on the 7th March luncheon. Shaw & Partners is a national wealth management business and I have a great connection who you all will get to meet at the lunch. An Irish friend of mine who I have worked with for over 10+ years in Perth. He is not a Rotarian yet but he lives every day of his life following the Rotary Four Way Test.
Shaw & Partners Charity Foundation has come onboard to support us with our fundraising efforts. We have committed to PROST that we will raise $40,000. PROST will be able to establish more centres for men recovering from Prostate Cancer Surgery to excercise and heal with these funds raised by the Perth Rotary Club. (detailed information below if you would like to know more about PROST). Current Chairman of PROST is our own club member, Jeff Leach.
Starting today, Shaw & Partners Charity Foundation has agreed to match $ for $ for the funds raised till Friday, 7th March 2025 to the maximum limit of $5,000.
Dear all
I can’t believe that January 2025 has already gone by, and we are in the second month of the year. We kicked off with Lunar New Year celebration at our first lunch meeting on 7 February 2025 with Abby Lin (Rotary Youth Exchange) and Past President Wes Sim conducting the session as the speakers. We welcomed Dr Yu (Roger) Dong as member nominee and International visiting Rotarians, Teresa Romani Gonzales Vda de Diaz of Rotary Club Pachacamac. District 4455- Lima- Peru and Kelly Fitzsimons of Rotary Club of Teddington and the Hamptons (London, UK).
Welcome back to Rotary as we start our busy 2025.
We had our first event for 2025, The President’s Cocktail Party, 30th January 2025. There was a big Rotary family in attendance with 16-month-old Mansha to 106 year old Rabbi Shalom Coleman. The Weld Club was the venue for this year’s Cocktail Party, and we celebrated the wins from 2024 and some individual recognitions for the club members.
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.
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.
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?

I write to give you a quick snapshot of a few of the ongoing youth activities in our club:
Firstly, Rotary Western Australia will receive 24 young and talented international Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) students this year. I am proud to announce that our club will host a student from the metropolis of Taipei in Taiwan.
Malaria, although not common in Australia, is a significant threat to human health and life globally. Supported by Perth Rotary, Honours Student Sergiu Lospa has started his Honours project on the K. senegalensis and antimalaria research project at Curtin University. He will visit Perth Rotary to share his progress later this year.
Read more from Sergiu about this project, that will make a difference to many lives.
We should all be very proud of the resounding success of our Kimberley Dental Team (KDT) visits in 2023. In a notable change for 2024, as we transition towards retirement, we have one combined busy trip of 4 clinical weeks planned in May.
What time is it?! Newsletter time... (not 'game time' - reference for those that have watched the Last Dance)... now, where was I, newsletter time.
How are You! I hope doing well. Easter is around the corner, a lovely time to slow down from our fast paced lives and enjoy the Easter Break for what it means to you.

Rotary Western Australia Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) team delivered yet another excellent two-part leadership development program this October. This is the first RLI Training Program held in Western Australia after two Rotary Districts in Western Australia were combined into one big new District 9423 on 1st July 2023.
This project has raised well over a million dollars, but we still need stamps!
"Right now, more than 100 million people around the world have been made homeless by natural disaster and conflict. We’re working to change this.

He also arranged for a Glaucoma Australia presentation on the effects of glaucoma, especially for older people.
Once again, Jeff and Helen Leach opened their farm gates for their annual bonfire evening on 19th August, inviting Rotarians and families and friends to join them. The weather was perfect. The fellowship and dancing were fantastic. The bonfire was magnificent. See for yourself in the photos below!
Hello Members and friends of Perth Rotary,
How is it already August? Only two weeks to go till Spring! Is it too early to start asking what your plans are for Christmas?!
I hope this newsletter finds you well. It has been an exciting couple of weeks in Perth Rotary. On Friday 4 August, Perth Rotary hosted its 4 Way speaking contest. 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’s 95th President, Linken Fragomeli, was raised on the grazing lands of Mount Barker and Albany and wants to inject that passion for growth and community spirit into his new role.
Linken was sworn in as President last week at a gala dinner at the Claremont Sailing Club attended by more than 200 members.
Greetings from the Rotary Cub of Perth……….Scotland!!!
I have just taken on the Presidents role and was delighted to receive a copy of your newsletter this week. It's great to see your club thriving and having a busy schedule. I thought you might be interested in our monthly newsletter put together by our club secretary Shelagh.
Pass on our regards to President Linken and all club members.
All the best

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

June Oscar AO, began her speech for the 2022 Sir Wallace Kyle Oration at the University of Western Australia with the reference to Service above Self and how we can all contribute to the community to improve our society. This relates straight to the heart of all that Rotary stands for and will resonate strongly with Rotarians and how we conduct ourselves.
