Rotary Club of Western Endeavour has room named after it.Harry Nesbitt, Ron ten-hoor and Gabi Nind at Milroy Lodge

The Rotary Club of Western Endeavour now has a room named after it at the Cancer Council WA Lodge in Shenton Park. Room 302 at Milroy Lodge is now labelled “Proudly adopted by the Rotary Club of Western Endeavour”.

This is in recognition of the level of donations the club has made to cancer research and support with Cancer Council WA over the past 30 years. These funds have been collected at the Motorplex in Kwinana. Our club plus the Rotary Club of Claremont-Cottesloe before it, has collected over $217,000 from the Claremont Speedway and Motorplex since 1990. The RCWE is grateful to the Motorplex Speedway for allowing club members free access to the complex to collect from speedway followers.

For enquiries about developing friendships, helping people in need, looking after the environment, and business networking, call President Elect Peter Batskos on 0418491431 for a chat.

Judy Dinnison wins the inaugural Rotary Club of Western Endeavour Perpetual Bowling Trophy on 18 May, 2021. This hotly contested event was held at the Leederville Sporting Club during the evening in perfect bowling conditions. Judy was one of four contestants in the playoffs.

What do we eat at our Tuesday morning breakfasts?

We have a choice of muesli, yoghurt and fruit or a full cooked breakfast - or both.

Our cooked breakfast includes poached or scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, fried tomatoes, hash browns, mushrooms, baked beans, toast and greens.

It is well worth while coming to the meeting just for the breakfast.
