Rotary Club of Freshwater Bay – Page 25 – District 9423

A fresh, young club

Our members are women and men aged in their 20s to 70s from a diverse background of nationalities.

Microscopes in Schools

Our signature project has seen more than 190,000 students discover the microscopic world with some 17,500 microscopes in 600 schools sponsored by over 100 Rotary Clubs.

Buddy benches

No child needs to feel lonely, with the buddy benches we make and donate to schools.

Supporting tomorrow's leaders

Our many youth projects include sponsoring applicants to attend a variety of Rotary-run camps and seminars, presenting awards to primary schools and much more.

Eye screening

We provide free eye screening checks for 5 and 6 year olds at primary schools throughout the Perth metropolitan areas.

Launched in 2008, we are a modern, active club of community-minded women and men aged in their 20s to 70s with a vision of world peace and the drive to make it happen.

Our Rotary Club meets weekly on a Wednesday evening for 1 hour in the metropolitan Perth suburb of Mount Claremont to plan and execute meaningful projects here in Western Australia and overseas. All our club meetings are live streamed on Facebook, to help you stay connected even if you can't physically attend.

What sets Rotary Clubs apart from other non profit organizations is our fundamental code of ethics (known as the "Four Way Test") and the fact that every cent raised for a cause goes directly to that project.

If you would like to make a difference, locally or globally, why not join us?

Microscopes in Schools

We are coordinating the distribution of magnifying microscopes to primary schools throughout Australia to help stimulate an interest in the world around us.

Dementia is a focus of our club. We have assisted the Forget-Me-Not memory cafe, launched the "Dancing With Memories" book, and support music therapy research.

We are assisting Bethesda Hospital with fundraising to purchase their first "cuddle bed" for their palliative care ward.

We collect non-perishable foodstuff, toys, knitted blankets, fans and more to donate to Moort Care to help the disadvantaged people in Perth.

Every October we present Pride of Workmanship Awards to local businesses or employees who give exceptional service.

Tax deductible donations can be made to Rotary projects which assist disadvantaged communities and humanitarian aid projects overseas.

During our meeting on 9th June 2021, we inducted three new members, bringing our ratio back to 50:50 male/female membership. A very warm welcome to: Mehrane Mehramiz, an Alzheimer’s Researcher who will work on the Youth Committee; Bev Lowe, who is well known for the amazing work she and her…

Containers for Change Support

We are very grateful for the growing number of individuals and businesses who are collecting containers for us on a regular basis, which we recycle to raise funds for our projects. A rather full carload (with a full back seat and boot) brings in over $80!
