INTERNATIONAL DINNER

This was another brilliant event that combined a joint social event with an inauguration of some of this years members! Wine was flowing, talk was heated and the food was flowing into plates. An honourable mention goes to Subiaco Rotaract and the person who made the best Kahlua chocolate moose I have ever had in my entire life. A dishonourable mention also goes to Cynthia from Subiaco Rotaract for her coconout.... uhemm hmmmm :) And the winner is [drum rolls] Lauren, our International Service Representative who both hosted and organized the entire event and made it a huge success, thankyou!

It was a great event, a good laugh and it was brilliant that there was was such a good turnout. So as the international community would say a massive THANKYOU, MERCI, TODA, DOH JE, DANKE, GRAZIE, TACK & in New Zealand CHEERS for attending our international dinner.

CRASH BANG AND ALL FOR CHARITY

“We had it all, fast cars, loud cars and an even bigger bang in a massive fireball of fireworks."

Cars were flying thick and fast around the corners, they were tipped over, ripped apart and stalled as roofs were ripped off and tyres fell apart before a roaring crowd. We had it all, fast cars, loud cars and an even bigger bang in a massive fireball of fireworks. One driver, was even spirited away by awaiting medics, leaving his body in ruins and me with an empty wallet. I think you know who got the raw end of that deal!! Ohh but for the love of the race!!

All this and more crashed and roared at the Quit Motorplex stands as the Rotary Club of Claremont raised funds for CANCER RESEARCH. Our club was represented by Jules and Neil, who after a fortifying Indian Dinner donned on crazy wigs and fluoro shirts, sweeping the stadium for donations. We liked to call ourselves the silver team for our crazy silver wigs and we managed to help raise over $2166 dollars for cancer research. It was good fun and for a bloody good cause!

BBQ FUNDRAISER SUCCESS

The BBQ was a huge success and a massive THANKYOU to everyone that gave there time to help on the day, there time organising the event and their efforts to gain donations. Also a big thankyou to all our sponsors who donated food goods, with a special mention for Bakers Delight Whitford City for their huge contribution.

As a club we managed to riase about $500 dollars for Youth Focus and after the sale of cadbury chocolates we will present Youth Focus with a final cheque. Once again a big THANKYOU. The day was a huge success, a good laugh and we were even helped by the Ref fire alarm going off! A thankyou letter also needs to be sent to all those organizations that donated food stuff, signed by the President, so I need to know all the names of the businesses that we need to thank!

Twas indeed a big success :)
