Major Darrell Wilson was installed as the new Divisional Commander for Western Australia at Perth Fortress Corps on Sunday 27 April.

The above vocational trip is booked for August 20. As mentioned, before I have booked 25 for the museum and 25 for lunch at the RAFFA Club.

The cost of entry is $10.00/head paid on entry. Lunch will be individually paid. Any extra specific tours will need to be booked at least one week before hand to ensure they have the volunteers to do those. They will also be paid for individually.

Transport is not provided so pooling cars seems the best way to go. The museum opens at 10am and closes at 4pm. I have booked lunch for 12.30.

On arrival attended will need to say they are with the Palm Beach Rotary group to be eligible for the $10.00 entry fee.

Cheers,

Kevin Fahie.

  Purpose:

  The primary goal of a Rotary Club forum is to provide a structured environment for members to voice their opinions, ask questions, and contribute to the club's direction. 
• Content:

  Topics discussed can range from club administration, fundraising, membership growth, and project planning to community engagement, international service, and addressing challenges the club might be facing. 
• Engagement:

  Forums encourage active participation from all members, ensuring that diverse perspectives are considered and that decisions are made with broad support. 
• Examples:

  Forums might be used to brainstorm project ideas for the upcoming Rotary year, discuss membership recruitment strategies, or address financial sustainability concerns. Some forums are structured as workshops to move potential projects into the planning stages. 
• Relationship to Assemblies:

  District-level Rotary "Assemblies" often serve a similar purpose of informing and updating members on district-wide initiatives and events.

On Saturday 15 November, the festivities begin with the Rotary Community Festival at Churchill Park (2.00pm – 7.00pm). Enjoy live music, artisan markets, food stalls, and free family activities.

This financial year has been a bustling and productive period for our club. We are incredibly proud of the milestones we have achieved together since July.

Major Events & Fundraising Our calendar was dominated by the Channel 7 Rockingham Beach Cup, held in November. It was a triumph, attracting an estimated crowd of between 20,000 and 22,000 people—our biggest attendance yet. The event showcased the strength of our volunteers, with the charity auction alone raising approximately $10,000. We also inaugurated new trophies to recognize the racing industry's support, with Jessica Gray winning the cup on Dark City.

Earlier in the season, we successfully launched the Rockingham Sunset Markets under our sponsorship. The first market in September was a massive success, attracting an estimated 4,500 people to the foreshore. To support these initiatives, we launched a major boat raffle (first prize being a Sea Jay 370 dinghy), which has seen tremendous support with over 4,000 tickets sold.

Community Service & Youth Our commitment to the local community remains unwavering. Highlights include:

• The Salvation Army: We hosted a Combined Service Clubs’ dinner in September that raised $2,500 for the Salvos.
• Education: We supported local schools, including donations to Waikiki Primary School for their NFL Flag championships trip , Safety Bay Primary School’s P&C, and presenting the Dux Award at the Rockingham Senior High School Education Support Centre. We also fuelled the students at the RSHS "Triathlon" fundraiser with a sausage sizzle.
• Seniors: Our members assisted with parking management at the Seniors and Carers Expo in October.
• Mental Health: We were proud to support and promote the "Mind the Walk" event to raise awareness for mental health.

Environment & Conservation We continue to punch above our weight in conservation. Our ongoing work with Carnaby’s Cockatoos has been recognized by ornithologist Dr. Denis Saunders, who noted that our repair of nesting hollows is critical to sustaining breeding opportunities. It was a thrill to identify a fledgling return to the very hollow where she was banded the previous year.

Fellowship Finally, we have enjoyed wonderful fellowship, from a vocational visit to the RAAFA Aviation Heritage Museum to our traditional AFL Grand Final lunch. We also welcomed new members, including Rachel Fletcher and Jon Ellis, growing our Rotary family.

We look forward to a busy 2026, including our continued support of the "Tiny Homes" project to tackle homelessness.
