PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Members and Friends
I, for one, had never heard of Circus W.A. although I had noticed the big top
by Clancy’s Fish Bar along Adelaide Street in Fremantle and thought no more
about it. Well, that changed as from Monday night when Jo Smith the Artistic
Director of Circus W.A. opened our eyes and our hearts. After the meeting, I
had to find out more as I couldn’t quite understand how Jo’s presentation,
especially the video of differently-abled people participating fitted into
“circus”. The website certainly promotes what I imagine a circus to be like —
trapeze, tight wire walking, juggling, etc., and involvement with differently
abled people appears to be an adjunct to this. The take away messages for
me were that everyone is welcome, fees are somewhat incidental and needs
appear to be accommodated. Almost like a large extended family. If you
visit their website, for a very modest amount you can become a Friend of the
Freo Big Top.
Of course, we had our annual Lift the Lid Hat
Day but time got away from us and not
celebrated to the fullest. However, thank you
to everyone who took the time and the effort
to participate and thank you for your
donations. I particularly liked Keith’s head gear
as it reminded me of the novelty grass potato
heads on sale in Fremantle Markets.
It was a pleasure to have Elise Powell, one of
our RYPEN candidates join us on Monday
night to give us her thumbnail sketch of
the RYPEN weekend. Listening to

Elise, it makes the programme come to life
and re-enforces the benefits that participants
gain. Well done Rotary and we should take a
pat on the back.
The McCulloch’s scooped the pool with wine
by taking out the door prize and Colin trying
to follow in Gail’s footsteps and draw the
Joker. Better luck next time Colin, but I am
sure the bottle of Shiraz will not go astray.
Our plans for this year’s Christmas Party are
progressing, more news next week at the
meeting but keep Monday 14 December free
as that looks to be the date which is locked in
for the big event, which is not too far away.
It’s that time of the year when the Club is
looking for members to take an active role
and put their hand up to be involved in Rotary
Year 2021–2022. Colin has already emailed all
members with a reminder and a nomination
form, so do not be shy and step forward. Act
Belong Commit “ABC”. The search is also on
for an Incoming Club President.
Next Monday our guest speaker will be Julian
Pace, Founder of Happiness Co. and a national
and international key note speaker. See you
all then.
Yours in Rotary
Neil

CircusWA (see flyer on page 9)
CircusWA has a long history of working with disadvantaged
youth. One way they achieve this is by offering full or partial
scholarships to young people whose families can’t support them to follow their circus passions.
They hold classes for all ages and all abilities from 2+ years to professional performers. The basis of all
their classes is about the spirit of community, skill exploration, development and having fun. Circus is
made accessible for ALL. This is achieved through funded outreach programs to organisation who work
with children and youth at risk.
Elise Powell, RC Attadale’s RYPEN participant, reports on her intensive
residential weekend experience. It was an opportunity to develop "life
skills" and achieve increased confidence to help cope with the
challenges of a very competitive future.

To celebrate this milestone, Mike Greenslade, CEO of ShelterBox Australia has produced a coffee table-style photography book, featuring 200 pages of full colour images captured during his deployments. Sales of the book “2020 Vision – Eyes Wide Open in the Disaster Zone” will go towards disaster relief and help ShelterBox achieve our vision of a world where no family shelter following a disaster.
Books are $35
We need your help to sell all these books
Due to COVID 19, the Western Australian Launch of this inspirational book could not take place. There are 175 books for sale that showcase the amazing impact ShelterBox has on the lives of those in need. The books would make an excellent gift and only cost $35. If you, or your Club could buy some of these books for yourselves or to on sell, it would be much appreciated.
