John introduced Libby to speak on some items raised at the District Foundation Committee meeting. As a GSA Chair Libby attended the meeting and gave feedback to the club;

GSE with Malaysia has been canceled for this year due to their earthquake, all resources are being allocated to disaster relief and recovery.

Sri Lanka Laboratory Technician Training - we are bringing four persons to train as Lab Technicians. They will be allocated to regional areas to gain experience to take back to Sri Lanka.

Tanzanian Midwives - eight are to be trained as midwives for Tanzania.

Million Dollar Dinner - has been undertaken in Queensland for the last two years, and the inagural WA Million Dollar Dinner will be held in the Parmelia Hilton Grand Ballroom 27th of February 2016.  Only 250 seats available for this Dinner and we ask our Friends and Rotarians to leave in their will a donation of $10,000 to our Rotary Foundation. With a good number of people making this commitment we will achieve the goal of a million dollar dinner. These funds are held in perpetuity and only the interest is used to fund projects. Donors will be invited to the dinner free of charge, and if they bring their partner along there will be a cost of $125 per guest. There again if both partners donate $10,000 that is $20,000 in their Estate, both will be invited free. Please note this is for new donations not donations made before the 20015-16 Rotary year.
