Hi local ShelterBox representatives and advocates
, thank you once again for your ongoing support of ShelterBox.
We are just receipting our final donations from the financial year
but we know that we have achieved our goal of raising $1.1 million
which we are over the moon about.
Your support will help us reach more families and provide shelter
and life-saving items to those robbed of their homes by disaster and conflict.
ShelterBox Operations Update
I have attached an operational update that details all the work ShelterBox
has been able to do over the last few months
thanks to the ongoing work and support of you
and your Rotary clubs around Australia.
We are currently working in Cameroon, Paraguay, Syria,
Nigeria, Somaliland and Ethiopa.
It’s a great year to volunteer with ShelterBox
If you are thinking of taking on a project this year
we would love to have you join us at ShelterBox.
We have lots of roles available to choose from
and as we are about to mark our 20th anniversary,
it’s an exciting time to be a part of ShelterBox.
For more information on our volunteer roles please visit our website https://www.shelterboxaustralia.org.au/volunteer-with-us/.
And feel free to send this information on to someone in your club
or community that would be a great ShelterBox volunteer.
Thanks again for your ongoing support, promotion
and work to ensure we reach our goal of no family
without shelter immediately following a disaster.

Perth’s newest Rotary club was launched last November
- Rotary Club of Perth City East or,
City Rotary as they prefer to be known.
Born out of a desire to create a more contemporary approach to rotary,
much of the traditional Rotary meeting style
has been revamped with emphasis being placed
on a professional powerpoint style visual presentation
. 75% of members are new Rotarians
from a diverse range of backgrounds.
President Elect, Greg Thurston says that it’s the blend of experience
mixed with fresh perspective that is at the basis
of City Rotary’s vibrant personality.
“We want our Club to be relevant,
not just to our members but also to the broader community
in which we live and connect with
. As a result, we deliberately target non Rotarians
in our communications and try our best to create meetings
which are topical, interesting and inspiring for everyone.”
Starting with 34 founding members,
the Club has recently recruited its 47th member,
Carmelo Arto, who is CEO of Breast Cancer Research Centre, WA.
Reflecting on the success of the Club’s recruitment drive so far
, President Ross Robertson says he believes it’s a tribute
to the hard work and commitment of not just its leadership team,
but also the value that its members place on their connection to the Club
– they are motivated because they believe in what City Rotary
is about and wants to achieve.”
Being ‘relevant’ is something that the Club doesn’t address lightly.
Starting with their branding,
everything from its logo to its communications
has been strategically designed to ensure it is creating
a very deliberate impression –
one that is reflective of current trends and expectations.
And, it’s taking full advantage of social media,
being active on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.
With latest statistics showing that over 60% of internet users
access it using their smartphones,
City Rotary is well on track to ensure their messages
are easily accessible.
Anyone curious about the new club is welcome to attend
its Breakfast Club meetings, held fortnightly at The Hyatt Regency
on Adelaide Terrace.
Featuring high profile speakers from across the Perth business community,
it has already hosted Richard Goyder AO,
WACA CEO Christina Matthews (who is also a member of City Rotary)
, and more recently political guru and commentator, Peter Kennedy.
