The next Wellard Village Markets are to be held on Sunday 10th
August
WVM meeting with all stakeholders held Thursday 10th
July at

location will move closer to the Shopping precinct when the shops
open in November. With the emergence of the new market at the
Darious location Wendy has formulated a ‘roster’ to spread the
load for members.
Peet &Co have a reduced but adequate budget for the continuation
of the Wellard Markets, we are committed until March 2015.
City Square Markets are progressing nicely, see a ‘graphic design’
of a suggested logo and mark your preference. Still much work to
be done, looking at a November commencement.
Busy Bees are being organised so that we can keep our premises
and our equipment respectable, please make yourself available by
adding to the list being sent around.
Kwinana Children’s Playground is fast becoming a reality, City of
Kwinana has included it’s construction in this year’s budget.

ShelterBox Ambassador Recognised For Outstanding Service
ShelterBox Australia relies on a network of
volunteer Ambassadors to help spread
awareness and raise funds for disaster
relief. One of our longest serving
Ambassadors is Western Australian,
Gordon Cargeeg. Gordon, now in his
nineties, is a Past District Governor and
member of the Rotary Club of Melville in
Perth and was recently awarded a
Certificate of Gratitude for his voluntary
work, promoting Shelterbox.
The award was presented at the Melville
club’s changeover dinner on behalf of the
Board of ShelterBox Australia by District
9455 ShelterBox Representative, David
Brockway, . David said that Gordon’s
“magnificent efforts to promote ShelterBox
have resulted in many hundreds of
ShelterBoxes to be funded and
subsequently deployed to many areas of
need around the world.“
Upon receiving the award, Gordon said, ‘My first contact with ShelterBox was in the Rotary
Year 2004-5. DG John Iriks, on returning from a meeting in the Eastern States, having seen
the ShelterBox Program , asked me if I would obtain further details. I contacted them
(ShelterBox) and they arranged for a complete box to be sent West.
Since then the box and contents has been shown extensively throughout the
state. eg All District conferences, Club meetings. Royal & local shows (in conjunction with
Scouts)
This has given much publicity, resulting in valuable contributions & support over the ensuing
years.”
ShelterBox has gone from strength to strength in Western Australia, with the Rotary Club of
Melville alone funding more than 42 boxes, the most recent of which were deployed to the
Philippines. A big thank you to Gordon, the Rotary Club of Melville and all our supporters in
Western Australia.
