This year Wyndham and Warracknabeal Rotary clubs celebrated the 12th year of our mutual support and exchange programs. In this time Wyndham have visited Warracknabeal 5 times and Warracknabeal has visited Wyndham 3 times.
Each visit has deepened the mutual respect and admiration between the clubs.
We commenced by financially supporting the Primary and Secondary School's breakfast program in 2009 / 10 and then due to the effects of COVID on our Club, Warracknabeal supported our brekky program in 2020.
We have been glad to help with many projects during our visits, including Rotary Park, the gardens at the hospital, fund raise through buying a sheep in Warracknabeal's sheep project and the Paddock To Plate dinner.
This year 9 Wyndham members made the enjoyable journey to help celebrate Warracknabeal Rotary's 87th anniversary in Rotary Australia’s 100th year. The Warracknabeal Club was chartered on March 31, 1934, was Club number 19 in Australia, and Perth was in Warracknabeal's district.
3 New members who haven’t been on an exchange before were inspired by the benefits of this program.
I would encourage all members to ensure we can support this program as an ongoing initiative. (here, here, although you could say I have peculiar interests) Ed :)
