ent Apartments CarineAt this meeting this week we welcomed guest speakers Steve Archibald and Jason King. Steve and Jason spoke about their passion of giving back to the community by raising funds for the Cambodia School Construction Project.
After another successful year for the Rotary Club of Ascot, outgoing President Ron Alexander handed over proceedings to incoming President Aidan Wood at Mount Lawley Golf Club this weekend. But before doing so, he announced PP Mike Bermann as the Club's Rotarian of the Year and presented Paul Harris Fellows to members PDG Hugh Langridge, PP Christine Goss and PP Mike Bermann for their contributions throughout the year.
The Rotary Club of Ascot have been proud supporters of Wheels for Hope again this year, helping another two families in Perth with wheelchair assist hoist vans. Its another way that support for our Club and our annual community event Bricktober, helps us to make a difference in Perth, Western Australia.
Its almost time for Bricktober 2018, so the members of the Rotary Club of Ascot and our friends at West Coast LUG (LEGO Users Group) have been out and about promoting this fabulous family event. There were smiles everywhere at the recent Model Train show! 
Each year, The Rotary Club of Ascot puts forward the name of at least one outstanding student with a passion for science to participate in a 12 day NYSF residential program designed to give attendees a broader understanding of the diverse study and career options available in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). This year, Esther Nixon of Ursula Frayne Catholic College attended the first program run in Brisbane and returned to tell us about her experiences which she said were life changing. The program included site visits, lectures, workshops, group activities and social events as well as sessions on entrepreneurship, critical thinking, working effectively with others and much more and helps develop well-rounded individuals who have the skills and confidence to determine their futures. Esther wants to become a Doctor and we wish her great success for her future.
The Rotary Club of Ascot formally celebrated its 49th Birthday with a most enjoyable night at Bentley Pines Training Restaurant, Bentley. Thirty-seven members, partners and friends enjoyed a superb three course meal prepared and served by Bentley TAFE hospitality and cookery students and their results were first class. A fabulous night out! .jpg)

The Rotary Clubs of Ascot and Belmont have teamed to support another amazing community youth project run by Dismantle for at-risk kids at our local high school. BikeRescue is a dynamic program that uses bike mechanics to mentor young people who need support beyond traditional classrooms. The kids strip and rebuild two bikes, the first is donated to charity and the second is earned by the kids to keep. Mentors engage with the kids, helping them to build their knowledge and skills, their self-esteem and confidence while identifying their vocational ambitions and any challenges they may have. The kids then graduate not only with a bike but with an individualised Pathway Plan and contact with appropriate support agencies that can help them to achieve their goals.
Warmly welcomed back to our Club recently was Keetah McBeath who first came to WA in 2008 with a Group Study Exchange from District 5050 British Columbia, Canada and Washington, USA. Keetah is of the Ononadago Clear Sky people of the Six Nations in Ontario and represented them as part of our District's first Indigenous Exchange. She is now back revisiting her home hosts from ten years ago which reflects the wonderful friendships that were formed through this amazing Rotary program across the world, across generations and across time.
Here's a great initiative that our local council is running to help bring together the young and old of our community, to help one another and share their stories and skills.
Seniors are encouraged to share their life stories and lessons learned along the way and young volunteers help them to record these in a beautiful booklet while teaching them some basic new technology skills along the way.
If you know someone in the Belmont area who may be interested and benefit, please help them to connect to this fabulous program.
Well done to the City of Belmont! It really is the City of Opportunity.

Members and partners enjoyed a night out in place of our usual breakfast meeting this week with an enjoyable meal in the company of great friends at The Prophet Lebanese Cafe in East Victoria Park. If the noise we made was any indication of how we all enjoyed ourselves, I'd say it was a resounding success! 
The Rotary Club of Ascot has just approved further financial support of about US$5,000 to purchase and install more water pipes, tanks and tap stands to bring fresh, clean drinking water to high school students in the village of Lete Foho, Timor Leste.
Currently, some of the students have to walk for 2-3 hours each day to attend school so their parents have recently volunteered to help build dormitories so their kids can stay close to school during the week. How fantastic are they! They want a better life for their kids and we are proud to support them by bringing water to their new dorms.
Our ongoing water projects in Timor Leste have already brought clean, fresh water from mountain springs down to thousands in hillside villages and has so far seen a massive reduction in hygiene related health issues and has allowed hundreds of kids to attend school instead of spending their days carting their family's water supplies from miles away.
If you are interesting in helping us to help them, we'd love to hear from you.
