How many initiatives can you think of that have introduced
more than 1000 business people to Rotary?
Four years of membership growth in Rotary District 9465
can be attributed to the good work of many dedicated Rotarians.
The business networking project, developed
by D9465 PR Director John Stockbridge,
has introduced more than 1000 business people
to clubs in the district.
It's a gamechanger.
John will be presenting on the nuts and bolts
of his success story soon.
Be sure to join in for the conversation

Rotary Club of Ascot
Members of Ascot Rotary have once again come to the party
to support women and children escaping domestic and family violence.
Their donation to Starick of $7 900 will support women and children
who are part of our Safe at Home program in the Ascot Rotary catchment areas
to improve the security of their homes.
Fleeing domestic violence often results in homelessness for women and children.
The Safe at Home program seeks to address this by supporting
women and children to stay safely in their own homes.
Pictured are Ascot Rotary President Ron Alexander and Chair of Starick, Wendy Wiley,
who received this very generous donation
Rotary Club of Busselton Geographe Bay
Rotary Club of Karrinyup
It was great to see our International Director Peter Durrant
back in Perth for the meeting this week
and sporting a new look slim line look.
Following Water and Sanitation Month,
Peter delivered a timely update
on the RC Karrinyup Zambia Water Project
Phase 1 of the project,
which provides clean drinking water for a school
of 80 vulnerable children in Nbola, Zambia,
has been completed.
As we move into Phase 2, school director Joyce
has provided a landmark detailed progress report
and Peter is working to tighten the coalition
with the Zambian Rotary clubs.
Meanwhile, our club member Nchima
has just returned from a visit to Zambia
and we look forward to receiving his report on the status onsite.
Peter Martin introduced Samantha Jenkinson,
an advocate for the rights of people with disabilities since the early 1990’s,
and throughout her professional life as a Social Worker. Samantha,
who was disabled following a motor vehicle accident
, at the age of twenty, is the Executive Director of "People with Disabilities WA".
She stated that 1 in 5 people or 4.3 million in Australia are disabled.
Our club has supported the Multiple Sclerosis Society of WA
over many years
This week, Community Service Committee member
Colin made our annual donation to Sue from MS WA.
Sue says she almost feels like a member
of the RC Karrinyup now,
as she has been so often.
Sue thanked the club for our ongoing support.
She gave us an update on latest developments
and support for clients,
as the society expands its footprint with a move
from Wangara to Joondalup.
She told us our donation would be spent
on a special hoist for the Joondalup facility.
Club members will remember the efforts Trish Lynch
went to in promoting our club with the Facebook photo album
for Rotary's birthday on 23 March.
However, they may not be aware that she was recognised
by Rotarians on Social Networks Fellowship for her efforts.
This week their Chair Rotarian Kate McKenzie
from E-WA Rotary met up with Trish to present her with a pin,
which she won for her participation
in the photo competition.
At our meeting this week,
Trish presented the pin to Ona.

Emma Piper-Burket did this project to see if the life of a woman
could be illustrated by clips of women
from films directed by women.
She found movies spanning 122 years
from every corner of the world,
and set to work.
This is an exercise that could be re-examined daily
, each time with different results,
and this makes me incredibly optimistic.
As a female filmmaker it is easy to get discouraged
in the face of all the statistics,
but putting this together, and seeing in condensed form
the work of over a century women
using film as a medium for expression,
