Treemission : addressing climate change West Perth Rotary joined the Rotary E-Club of Western Australia (E-WA) for a tree planting event at Adenia Park, Riverton on Saturday 25 July 2020. Approximately 2,000 trees were planted by 20 community members and Rotarians. It was also a great opportunity to meet other Rotarians over morning tea and a BBQ lunch. Thank you Tina and Colin Arthur for organising the event with Alan Briggs, founder of treemission and member of the E-WA. Thanks to everyone including our West Perth members Elizabeth Gorey, Tim Dawe and David Arrowsmith for their excellent tree planting efforts on the day!

West Perth Rotary Club (WPRC) used a Rotary Foundation Grant in 1990 to set up the Bali Eye Clinic. A mobile eye clinic operating theatre was fitted out in Perth and delivered by Hercules aeroplane to Bali courtesy of the Royal Australian Air Force. In the next four years, cataract operations were performed to restore sight to over 4000 people. The program was so successful that it incorporated in 2002 in the name of “The John Fawcett Foundation Inc” thus having the ability to raise funds and offer tax deductibility in its own right.
