Local Rotarians and friends making a huge difference to the lives of girls in 3rd world countries.
Does Rotary as we know it today have a future? Will we be here in 20 years? What should we look like? Are you wanting to make an investment for the future?
By answering YES, member volunteers from Rotary District 9455 put up their hands to look at ways to support the on-going viability of Rotary through our Forum for the Future workshops.
Rotary Fellowships consist of members who share a common interest in recreational activities, sports, hobbies, or professions. These groups help expand skills, foster vocational development, and enhance the Rotary experience by exploring interests while developing connections around the world.
Recently the partnership between Edith Cowan University (ECU) and Rotary District 9455 to ‘Eradicate Melanoma Deaths’ through the Rotary for Melanoma Research (R4MR) project was formalised with the signing of an MOU. Deputy Vice Chancellor Professor Steve Chapman and now Past District Governor Lindsay Dry signed the agreement in May, which commits each party to work together to assist in taking the great work undertaken by ECU Researcher Prof Mel Ziman (Rotarian) and her team to the community.

Rotarians working together for humanity!

The Microscopes in School project was the concept of the Chief Scientist of WA, Prof. Lyn Beazley.

It soon became apparent that before much progress could be made, a reliable source of fresh water must be sourced. What also became clear was that this would take some considerable time.
