Club Birthday
Happy birthday to the Rotary Club of Mill Point on their 38 years of ‘Service Above Self”
Since 1986 RCMP has grown steadily with dedicated and committed members who contribute time and resources to local, national and international communities.
This year we celebrate 38 years of '“service above self”, ensuring everything we do meets the four way test criteria:
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
We are proud to say YES, and we will continue to serve our communities meeting the criteria by which Rotary actions and standards are judged.
We will celebrate with a party on Friday 15 March 6pm - 9pm at 73 Mill Point Road, (entrance on Stone Street).
RSVP vlawrance17@gmail.com before 13 March
Christmas Champagne Breakfast
Everyone is welcome to join us for our Christmas Champagne Breakfast on Friday 15 December at the Royal Perth Golf Club.
Booking is essential for catering purposes so please contact marghyatt1@gmail.com to secure your place.
Full breakfast and a glass of bubbly to celebrate the festive season with great guest speaker Milly Formby, a young zoologist whose specialty and passion is migratory shorebirds. To emulate their long distance migratory flights, Milly decided to circumnavigate Australia in a Microlight aircraft. But first she had to learn to fly…have a Microlight built…raise funds…organise a support team and logistics. Her presentation and PowerPoint about her recently completed journey, “Wing Threads”, is just fascinating. She is a quiet young “slip of a lass” but very determined. As has been said of Milly “she doesn’t see obstacles, only challenges….”
Themed Music Night
Each year we hold a themed music night and this year was no exception because it was “RockNRoll” night! We danced away to the sound of “Memphis Rockers” at the best venue in town - the Senior Citizens hall (back of Angelo Street, South Perth). A good time was had by all as can be seen in the photos!
20223 BulldustNBack
Our Annual BulldustNBack was in its fifth year! It’s a fantastic way to see parts of WA you may not have seen before, have FUN with like-minded people AND take the opportunity to raise much needed FUNds for favourite charities. Each year raise FUNds for Kids with Cancer and Youth Mental Health projects in WA, as well as other charities in our community. In the first four years we raised over $250,000 since we have been running this event - and the 2023 event raised $145,467 to add to that!
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?
A number of members and partners volunteer to act as hosts for an evening meal. Many other members and partners attend as guests, but do not know where they are going to or who they will share the meal with - until the last hour or so! Go to new places, meet new people, try new foods, sample new wines - and all with members of your own club! Join the fun and surprises when your host and fellow guests get together for an evening of fun, fellowship, food and tall tales!
Home for Dinner
Members and their friends/spouses go to Ronald McDonald House in Nedlands twice a year to prepare and cook dinner for parents of children who are undergoing treatment at Perth Childrens’ Hospital. They assist the chef and learn new skills along the way. Parents are very grateful to have a hot meal made for them and not have to visit the fast food chains. The children get to meet us all and enjoy our company.
Rotary WA Launch
We are one!
Rotary in Western Australia consisted of two Districts - D9465 and D9455, and on July 1 2023, the two districts became one - D9423 where there are now 87 Rotary Clubs doing good in their local, national and international communities.
District Governor (DG) Ineke Oliver leads the District team with District Governor Elect (DGE) Patricia Schraven. Between them they manage the new District, liaise with all the Rotary clubs through the Assistant Governors (AGs) and ensure Rotary ethics, transparency and accountability are met in all regards.
The launch of Rotary WA was held at Government House and it was a party not to miss with Rotarians present from the whole state of WA.
Handover Night
The end of the financial year is the same as the end of the Rotary year and time for the current president to handover to the president-elect. ”Starstruck” was the theme for the 2022-2023 handover night and attending were several Blues Brothers, along with Groucho Marx, Mae West, Maverick Top Gun, Barbie, Jason Statham and Bruce Willis! Great fun was had by all, as well as a scrumptious dinner!
