Rotary Club of Booragoon

The Rotary Club of Booragoon was officially chartered in June 1983. It was at the time the 100th club to have been sponsored in Western Australia. “Service above Self” is the motto of Rotary. The Rotary Club of Boorgaoon is part of a global network of local clubs that comprise Rotary International. There are more than 1.2 million Rotary members in over 33,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographic regions. While Rotary is an international organisation, it is the local club that brings vitality to Rotary’s humanitarian service regionally and throughout the world.

The Club meets each Tuesday night (6:00pm for 6:30pm) at the South of Perth Yacht Club at Coffee Point in Applecross. Click here for the map. 

Most of our meetings last one hour and include a meal, a few announcements and a guest speaker. Occasionally, a special event that the Club is sponsoring pre-empts the regular meeting. Click here for the club program.

Change of venue for meeting of 21st May

For the meeting of Tuesday 21st May, we will not be at the South of Perth Yacht Club, instead Heather has kindly offered to host the evening at their house.  Details will be given shortly to all members and guests via email .  It will be a normal Projects evening, however the meeting will have an informal structure, and be a cross between our normal Projects Evening and a fellowship night.  Please ensure you check your emails to ensure you have the latest news. Non-members are most welcome to join us, please use the contact page to email us your details.

Last week we had a meeting with a difference at the Kardinya Tavern.  Kacey gave us an impromptu talk on her passion (no, - not Aaron, another one); namely naturalopathy. The methods of describing dosages and even tricks of the trade for remembering names would have done any teacher proud.  The science based nature of Kacey's work was most impressive and so too was her obvious passion for her profession. Kacey's prepared talk was postponed due to technical difficulties with the equipment, and Wendy and Steve's problems of identifying "boy cables" from "girl cables". The entire evening was interesting and entertaining, and the "Kardy" gave us an excellent meal and great service.

Kardinya Park Tavern meeting for 14th May

Just for something different, we will hold our meeting of the 14th May at the Kardinya Tavern. So much of our efforts are conducted at the Kardinya Park shopping centre and we walk past the tavern several times in the process. A few of us have conducted a taste test, and can highly recommend the food. There is an extensive menu available (instead of a set meal) so there will be something to suit every palate and budget. Or if you prefer there is no obligation to dine in, but you may still attend.   But stay out of Pubtab – we have a speaker too! Our own Kacey Grieves will speak to us about o anyhtinsome aspects of her work as a naturopath.

Rawsome food!

Next Tuesday 7th May, we will have a "rawsome" evening learning about the benefits of raw foods and how to prepare them.  I think we even find out how to do "rawsome cooking" - but is that a contradiction of terms?! Come along and find out!

YOUTH NIGHT

Last Tuesday's meeting was certainly memorable for the enthusiasm and calibre of our mainly youthful speakers. It brought home to us the great job Rotary does (and our club in particular), in "doing good in the world".  Our challenge is ensure that this continues and events such as this can only help spread the word about Rotary  It will be even more effective is if we can have the others spread the word for us, we all know word-of-mouth is by far the best advertising and it seems to me that last Tuesday's participants will probably do this with great gusto.  Thanks to all members who contacted these people and advertised the event on Facebook. It was wonderful that Travis credited Sue McKay for his participation in RYLA and so making a great difference to his life and outlook.  All the other the speakers stated that their participation had a very significant positive effect on their lives.
