| Yes, it’s a long way to go, BUT what a place to go! There is so much to see and do in the West, let alone soak up one of those great life experiences where you meet fellow Rotarians, network and share ideas.
As with all Rotary conferences, the opportunity to support our District, to listen to and learn from inspirational speakers, and to enjoy the camaraderie of other Rotarians is reason enough to make this important journey. And this year’s conference really promises to be a truly wonderful event with the added delight of exploring a very beautiful city and its surrounds.
| The list of speakers is awesome - it includes ... Janet Holmes a Court, Fred Chaney, former Senator and member of the House of Reps, Sam Walsh, CEO of RIO Tinto, Dr Fiona Wood and more. Click here for the details of these fabulous speakers. We know there has been concern about the location, but we know too that with your support this could be one of the best conferences yet. Why not make it a reason to explore new horizons and promote your club's Rotary message?
| With almost 400 Rotarians and Partners booked to join us in Perth, don't miss out on this wonderful occasion to be inspired, while enjoying some wonderful fellowship.
| For the love of Rotary consider joining us!
| DG Colin and Pauline Muir

Winning Photo:
First place. Steve Baroch, Rotary Club of Castle Rock High Noon, Colorado, USA. "The writing on the wall has everything to do with what makes this photo. And each of the kids has a different emotion going on. A lot of the kids in this school are orphans, and some came from an orphanage that was burned to the ground in the postelection violence in 2008. Our club is supporting the school with books through a nonprofit called Transafrika Cultural Institutes." Giboux: "I like the composition, the way the children are in it. 'Peace wanted alive' is very dramatic, yet the picture is very peaceful."
