INVITATION FROM ROTARY CLUB OF SOUTH PERTH –BURSWOOD

An invitation to join us for breakfast.

The Members of South Perth and Burswood invite you to join them at a breakfast meeting in the Atrium

Restaurant at the Crown Plaza Hotel. The breakfast is highly subsidized at $25 and a fantastic choice of cuisines can

be enjoyed. We meet on a Wednesday at 7am for 7.20 start and we aim to finish by 8.30.

In the weeks before Christmas we have some interesting speakers.

21/11/18 Kimmy O’Meara will be talking about her project Laughter and Yoga. Kimmy was given 3 yrs to live after

being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called CREST.

Through the natural benefits of laughter and a positive outlook on life she has passed her use by date by 18 years.

Kimmy has been a laughter facilitator for 12 years. She was awarded the international laughter Yoga Ambassador

award in 2008 for outstanding work in the community through laughter.

Kimmy went to Rwanda and brought laughter Yoga to Genocide survivors and created the laughter club of Rwanda

5/12/18 Dr Goddard will keep us amused with his Aussie Yarns. He has worked as an educator and a facilitator for

change, specializing in Aboriginal Community Development, working between bureaucracies and remote

communities,

Out of this experience he has woven real stories that try to paint a positive picture of Aboriginal culture and

peoples. Dr Goddard is an author of 3 fictional novels.

19/12/18 Lisa Sprlyan Service Manager for Orange Sky will be talking about the laundry service they provide to the

Street People.

Orange Sky is the world’s first free mobile laundry service for people experiencing homelessness; an idea founded

in Brisbane by 2, 20 year old mates, Nic and Lucas. In Late 2014 the boys installed a couple of washing machines in

their old van and visited parks around Brisbane to wash and dry clothes for free. What started out as an idea to

improve hygiene standards and restore dignity has evolved into something much bigger. Lisa will tell you the

whole story.

This is also our Christmas meeting; small gifts of value not more than $10 will be exchanged.
