Rotary Club of Kalgoorlie
New Members!! The club welcomed two new members at our meeting on Monday 28 April.
First we had the transfer of Ken Maisey from the Rotary Club of Mudgee, NSW. Ken has been a Rotarian for four years and was the current President of the Mudgee Club when he relocated to Kalgoorlie. Ken has the Classification of ‘Mining - Accountant’ and joins the Vocational Service Committee.
Second we inducted Charmaine Maisey into the Club as a new Rotarian. Charmaine relocated to Kalgoorlie with her husband, Ken. Charmaine will have the Classification of ‘Retail’ and joins the Community Service Committee.
Welcome to Ken and Charmaine!
Do you have any Rotary Club of Kalgoorlie items at home, in your car or at the office?
Please bring along any banners, equipment, etc. to the next meeting you attend so we can ensure everything
is kept together and doesn’t go astray.

Interplast Ambassador, Turia Pitt Visits Laos
In March 2013, Interplast Ambassador Turia Pitt, along with her partner Michael, accompanied an Interplast surgical program to Vientiane, Laos. It was an opportunity for Turia to see and experience first-hand the work of our organisation, which she so passionately supports.
Reflecting on the trip on her blog Turia said “It was both challenging and confronting to see kids and adults alike with such horrific injuries – particularly since the injuries would be easily treatable here in Australia. I was inspired by the resilience, resourcefulness and adaptability of all the patients that the Interplast team treated.
I can’t find the words to describe the Interplast medical team… brilliant just about sums it up. The team had such a great work ethic and performed operations for at least sixteen hours a day. On the two-week trip, Interplast managed to operate on 80 patients.”
Turia returned with even more passion for her role as Interplast’s ambassador having seen the tangible impact that we have. And we’re extremely grateful to Turia and all the other amazing supporters who raise funds and help spread the word about what we do.
