Herbert Perlich: Some life stories from Post-war Europe

A child fleeing from persecution in Sudetenland, a youth struggling to get an education and a trade qualification in war ravaged Europe, a young father settling in Holland before emigrating to Australia, tough times indeed!!




These were stories shared with us by Herbert Perlich who was our guest speaker last week. Equipped with maps and photos, Herbert entertained the Rotarians right through to the end of the refreshment break. Herbert’s talk was very enlightening to all and some details were even news to Larraine Hall who was his neighbour for 13 years.



Car parking = Fundraising + Fun

The World Equestrian Games held at Pittwater Rugby Park gave the Club the opportunity to raise some funds for our projects. 
Between 23-26 October, Pittwater Rotarians obtained gold coin donations from the attendees wishing to park their cars. The net funds raised were approx $1400.

Thanks to the visiting public and to the Rotary volunteers, Jean, Roslyn Doreen, Arthur, Larraine, Arthur, Mike, Noela, Doug, Graham, John, Judy W, Bob B, Bob M, Asahel, Bruce and Len.

Well Done Team!!…..Hope that I didn’t miss anyone??



Right On…RYDA…

On 3 and 12 November Pittwater Rotary facilitated around 300 students
through the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness program at St Ives.

Representatives from Barrenjoey and Pittwater High Schools together with Eastwood Marist Brothers learnt about driving hazards from the capable instructors.

The students and the Rotarians were all very well behaved!

Well Done and Thanks to PP Graham, PP Martyn, Larraine, Asahel, Arthur, PP Geoff, Pres Bruce.
