A heartfelt cheer goes not only to our esteemed members but also to our amazing families. To those who patiently enjoy frozen meals while we attend meetings, and to those who sacrifice precious weekend hours to assist with a sausage sizzle - to our incredible parents, partners, and caregivers. Each person captured in this picture, alongside those unable to join us, holds an indispensable role in our Rotary team. Your dedication and support are deeply appreciated, and we hold immense gratitude for every single one of you. Thank you for being an integral part of our Rotary family.
Wishing you all the 'Merriest of Seasons' ahead and thank you all
With many thanks to Fran, Gordon, Ley, Julien, Brian and Maxine, we raised $707 for the Timor Disaster Appeal.
We wish to thank our local supporters: Farmer’s Markets, IGA, GEO Organic Meats and MR Free Range Eggs.
Also a big thank you to the many people that kept buying our very delicious burgers and sausage and onion rolls – cooked by our Chefs Julien and Brian. It was good fun and helped raise awareness of the disaster in Timor and the local Rotary Community.

Work on the new Shed commenced in early 2020 and when finished in the winter of 2021 it will enable Margaret River Mens Shed to expand its activities, its membership (including ladies), its skills base and its offering to the Margaret River community as a whole. Rotary Margaret River as a core sponsor of the Men’s Shed, recently pledged a further $100,000 towards the final stage of the building program.
The tower which had previously supported a water tank has been preserved and will become an important part of the new
building. Congratulations to all involved in this long process, A wonderful achievement.
Full details of the construction can be found on the Margaret River Mens Shed web site. https://www.margaretrivermensshed.com.au
"Spotted these absolute Margaret River legends yesterday putting the finishing touches on installing the Rotary Pontoon at Gnarabup.
For most people that pontoon just magically appears every year. But the reality is a core group of local Rotary volunteers have been keeping that
local tradition alive, year after year after year.
It's worth noting these two blokes, Brian Middleton and Gordon Temby, have contributed more volunteer hours and varied community service to this town than probably 1000 of us combined.
It blows my mind to realise how much some people contribute to this community in a volunteer capacity.
Love ya work fellas!"

President Brian was pleased to invite Shayla to join Rotary because it is evident that she will observe the ethos of Service Above Self and contribute in a positive way to the fellowship of the club - people concerned about people. Secretary Marilyn presented Shayla with her club badge and Rotary pin.
Shayla has kindly consented to join the club Youth Committee as her interest lies in that area. Shayla is married to husband Rowan.
