an ‘Induction of President’ charge in handing over to Bryant as our President for 2011-12

All members wish you a successful and rewarding year as the third President of the RCFB Bryant.

Thank You AG Simone

AG Simone had a challenging year as President trying to balance Rotary with a very young family, work and living at a distance.

All members thank you most sincerely Simone for your ‘Service Above Self’ in 2010-11 when President Ray Klinginsmith’s Theme was Building Communities Bridging Continents.

This Rotary Year Simone will be working at District level as an Assistant Governor for DG Liz Westoby, as well as Chairing the District Rotaract Committee. As a very experienced Rotaractor prior to becoming a Rotarian, this is one of her areas of expertise.

Simone has taken leave from the Club as she works to set up an E-Club along with her other District responsibilities.

All members wish you well with all these endeavors Simone and look forward to seeing you whenever you have time to pay us a visit.

Annual Report

An Annual Report for last Rotary year will be produced in due course.

Next Week’s Meeting

Speaker will be Matthew Gabriel, a young man who recently climbed Mt Everest and has scaled four other of the world’s highest peaks.

Rotary Aust. World Community Service

Two RAWCS Projects have just been listed though the RCFB.

No. WR-007-2011 Koro Scholarship Project which is the school in Fiji where Mignon worked as a volunteer and where she and Alistair now sponsor students.

No. WR-010-2011 Maiti Foundation in Nepal. This is being looked after by Gillian and Clifford Yudelman who support this project of rescuing young girls who are being trafficked out of Nepal into surrounding countries.

These two couples have worked through the necessary paperwork to

have these projects listed in record time. Well done folks and every success with your wonderful work.

French Students at Milner Int. College

Warren says all three French Students who are studying at Miller Int. College due to the Scholarships provide by him, are a delight. We look forward to having the students address one of our meetings next month and to perhaps hosting a BBQ as a social activity for members to get to know the students a little.

Ella James – Heartfelt Thanks

No doubt about the younger generation. Ella James came to the rescue last Monday and kindly put the Program for Changeover together plus produced an excellent ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ for the North Cottesloe Primary School. Ella has also agreed to assist us with putting a Bulletin in place, Thank You Ella.

Microscopes Held Up
