JUNE – Fellowship Month

Fellowship doesn’t come much more fulfilling than through the multitude of experiences in Rotary.  And not just casual acquaintance but real rapport between people with the common value of “service above self”.  The experience of working together on an international project and sharing the disturbing sight of people in abject poverty and then sharing the joy of seeing their lives permanently improved by the project completed is deep friendship indeed. 

Whether it is the contact with fellow Club members at regular Club meetings, participation in Club projects, enjoying the company of members, partners and friends at Rotary social functions; or meeting with members of other Clubs on joint projects or District Committees or District Conferences; or savoring the internationality of Rotary at a Rotary Convention, we all enjoy being with like-minded people.

The opportunities for fellowship don’t stop at the above list.  There are many Rotarian Action Groups. Links to two of the many are on our district website:  Rotarian Action Group Against Child Slavery (RAGACS) and Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group (WASRAG).  Similarly there are about 70 Rotary Fellowships – autonomous groups of Rotarians, Rotarian spouses and Rotaractors around the globe with a common interest, from Amateur Radio to Yachting and just about everything in between.  See the link.

On top of that there are the Rotary Friendship Exchange, alumni groups, and the fellowship of working with partner organizations. 

As this is my last newsletter before handing over to DGE Hank de Smit may I say what an incredible honour it has been to lead our Rotary District.  Léonie and I have been inspired by the wonderful people we have met as we visited each Club and many Club and District activities.  We thank the District leadership team and many others who provided encouragement, support and ideas before and during the year, and look forward to ongoing fellowship and friendship. 

We welcome new Rotarians who have been inducted and entered on the RI website since the last newsletter:

Denise Ramm  (Heirisson);  Norman Roberts, Russell Porter, Lee Partridge (Crawley);  Bedrich (Beda) Janeba  (Subiaco);  Brenda Soon (Matilda Bay);  Victor Leonzini, George Yip (North Perth);  Kristen Meagher (Freshwater Bay).
