The Rotary Club of Crawley

This banner kindly designed by Matt Nankivell, and printed by Expo Copy, was used in the club parade at Geraldton conference 20 March 2012. This banner is a sample of the amazing individuals we have in our club. As Steve Algie said, you are all the reason he is a member.

Leadership is something The Rotary Club of Crawley is passionate about supporting and developing, especially amongst our youth (under 25), and the more disadvantaged sectors of our community. Equally important to us, is the question of equity.

We want to ensure access and opportunity for all, regardless of physical, cultural or financial means. And that is why The Rotary Club of Crawley has created Youth & Diversity Scholarships.

The scholarships offer the opportunity to participate in our new leadership program – a Rotary first!

Welcome back. There are many ways to get actively involved in our club. Read more below for a few examples of activities planned in the next few months.

I have taken the liberty to post this feedback from Carolyn Turner:

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to speak with the Crawley Rotary Club this morning. What an amazing, energetic group of people. I hope the members found the presentation worthwhile…I met some great people and some have already been in contact. Networking at its best!!

We are very lucky to have such energetic and passionate members in our club.

Hello, my name is Beatriz and l'm 16 years old. This is a letter to introduce myself to my host family on the exchange program I intend to join. First of all, l'll talk about my free time. When I have free time, I really enjoy listening to music, surfing on the web and playing my guitar. I also like to hang out with my friends and my siblings. 

ln my school, l'm not able to choose classes, so I have 19 different classes. I take the morning period, but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have afternoon classes, and they all last 50 minutes. My classes are:

RCC donated $460 to Australian Rotary Health from our Hat Day joint breakfast meeting with RC Western Endeavour. It was a great morning with Lifeline WA CEO Amanda Wheeler as our guest speaker. The money raised will assist mental health research.

Richard visited the Rotary Club of Seminyak in Bali this week and was given the opportunity to talk about our club.

The Club's PR Director wrote "Richard Hazlewood gave the most inspiring presentation I have ever heard, of what can best be described as probably one of the most successful, creative and imaginative clubs in Rotary."

He looks great in our new shirt.

Wow, that was an action packed day and a half (26 & 27 March 2010), I learnt all sorts of things:

To honour the work of this great project team and reminisce about a fabulous night, have a look at the slideshow of photos

Over the next two weeks you can try one on your size - thats a polo or tshirt.

At club meetings you can make a choice of whether you would like a club polo or tshirt with the prices ranging from $17-21 for the tshirt to $46-48 for the polo shirts.  There are also caps and visors.  All of these will be branded with our logos.

I need to make the club order by the end of January.  If you won't be at a meeting over the next 2 weeks please contact me direct on 0418902110 to discuss how you can make your order.

Members now have the opportunity to select one or more Teams they wish to become part of. Do not be afraid of a “tap on the shoulder” from a Team Leader – you can always say no! However, the more members take part in the Teams, the lighter the workload will be and the more fun to be had!

Have you thought about being Eliza clone, well wearing a polo or tshirt with her embroided on it actually!!!

The club is investigating polo shirts, t-shirts and hats options for the club.  At the meeting on 28 October we will be showcasing a range of options for the club to choose. 

At a couple of meetings in the future in Novermber we will offer sizing options for members to choose from.  The selected options will also be available as pictures on the web for those that can't make meetings.

Congratulations to Rebecca and her FUN team for a tremendously enjoyable evening on Friday.  Bethne and I arrived just after 5pm and I commented that it was unlikely we would see more than a couple of people for quite a while.  But I was so wrong! There were already 6 or 8 folks there and more just kept drifting in as the evening wore on.  We commandeered the lounge area, away from the hoi polloi, and effectively had our own private party.  I can't tell if Richard Wilson's presence had anything to do with it (Richard: the tall young man of bagpipes fame....
