Cord blood bank, Perth ALONG SIDE THIS IS THE CORD BLOOD BANK IN PERTH.ROTARY WA WERE LOOKING FOR A PROJECT TO COMMEMORATE THEIR 100th BIRTHDAY.WE PUT FORWARD A SUGGESTION THAT THEY CREATE A BLOOD BANK AND OUT OF 23 SUGGESTIONS OURS WAS TAKEN ON BOARD. WA is a single Inner Wheel District, A40, and until yesterday had 14 clubs, but we now have 15, with the chartering of a new one in Geraldton!! The new club had its inaugural meeting last night. As Maureen pointed out, gaining a new member is hard enough, but a whole new club is quite an achievement! Around Australia, Ballarat was the first IW club charted in Australia and Kalamunda has recently celebrated 50 years. The next International Convention is planned for Melbourne in 2018! The fastest growing region for IW is India! The objects of IW are similar to Rotary and a member of Rotary can be a member of IW so long as they are female and over 18!! The Margarette Golding Award is similar to our PHF, but is reserved for people who do outstanding work in the community. In Australia,Inner Wheel's main project is the support of the Cord Blood Bank. Maureen was thanked by Bruce Ralph. |
