Rotary Club of Perth Newsletter

Our Rotary International President for 2010/2011, Ray Klinginsmith, has chosen the theme Building Communities, Bridging Continents

The Rotary Club of Perth can be proud of the building blocks we provide for our community. This includes our flagship project, Passages, assisting younger members of our community address homelessness, drug usage and mental health issues. Other youth and community services projects are targeted to assist school, trade and university students; police cadets and nurses. Health is important to the club – support includes funding the Prostate Cancer Council, the Cord Blood Bank and the Heart Foundation.

Each year our club Bridges Continents though the Rotary Youth Exchange program, and the hosting other overseas exchange groups. Funding is provided to projects in proximate countries aimed at improving health, education and living conditions

In 2010/11 I look forward to continuing our clubs impressive record of making our valuable contribution to our community, and welcome you to join us a member or visitor.
