Bruce Dufty receives two awards At a RCWE club meeting on 10 August 2021, Bruce Dufty received awards from both the Rotary Club of Osborne Park and from District 9455. Both recognized Bruce’s dedication to helping the indigenous population in Leonora. The RC of Osborne Park identified Bruce as being a “Leonora FASD (Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder) Champion”. Presented by President Louise Hancock, Chairperson of the Rotary ‘Making FASD History’ project team, the award acknowledges Bruce for his long term visits to Leonora each 6-8 weeks. Bruce is often supported by his wife, Bev on these trips. At the same meeting, District Governor, Dee Buckland presented the prestigious “Indigenous Service Award” to Bruce. This award is presented once a year in recognition of a club’s service to the indigenous community. Bruce is the first individual to receive this award since its inauguration – such is his outstanding dedication. | |
Rotary Club of Western Endeavour Water and Sanitation projects in Cambodia The Rotary Club of Western Endeavour has been supporting the rural poor in North Western Cambodia for a number of years through the funding of basic improved water access projects and the installation of rudimentary latrine systems. A small investment goes a long way in these poor communities. Activities in 2022 will be supported with funds resulting from raffle ticket sales with a first prize of a bottle of 2005 Penfolds Grange. Tickets are now on sale. |
