Lea has settled into school and her first host family very well. Everyone who meets Lea comments on her great attitude and willingness to get the most out of every opportunity. Lea is keeping busy with school, sport and family. Lea is currently with host parents Libuse Dessert and Sean McGee and in October will change families and be welcomed by Vina Goulden & Charlie Buckley and family.
In March this year, the Club sent Rusty Cooke and Tom Vickers on a recce to Atauro to report back on the needs of the village. Three projects were selected for funding this year: 1. Installation of spring-loaded taps and hand pumps near the village of Belloi; 2. Completion of construction of a Primary school at the village of Ilitmur, about an hour up the mountain, and 3. Construction of a well, water troughs and tank stand for cattle at a village cooperative.
Guest Speakers: We are asking for all members to prepare a 5-10 minute talk about themselves. Along the lines of: where they have come from, why they came to Kununurra & what do they do in Kununurra. Also what are their interests outside of their work & Rotary. We will be calling this a “Me talk” for when we don’t have any other guest speakers booked for our meetings. Welcome to Rotary Youth Exchange student Lea Roos from Switzerland. Lea arrived in town on the 10th August, after having spent her first two weeks of her Exchange Year in Perth to attend the inbound/outbound briefing. Lea spent her first week in town with the Hawes-Wright family and is now with her first host family – the Dessert-McGee’s (thank you to Libuse, Sean and family). Visit by the Hon Kerry Sanderson, AO Governor of Western Australia We were very privileged to have the Governor and her official party join us for dinner on Tuesday 28 July at Gulliver’s Tavern. After some initial hiccups (ie. nothing in their glasses to toast with – eek!) – the Governor settled into the evening. The Changeover night this year was hosted by the BBQ Boat and the club took the opportunity to welcome and induct four new Kununurra Rotarians.
