| The birth of a new Rotary Club in District 9450 |
A new Rotary Club in Crawley “The newly formed Rotary Club of Crawley (“RCC”) will soon be meeting at the University Club of Western Australia. The RCC specifically aims to attract a fun loving, but time-poor younger membership that wants to contribute to their community through the proven skills and fellowship network of Rotary. In two short months of preparation, the club has already attracted 39 members to start regular breakfast meetings on Thursday mornings between 7 and 8:30 am in the UWA Club, commencing February 18th, 2010. The Rotary Club of Crawley intends to be vibrant and relevant with a minimum of pomp and rituals. The club expects to be chartered soon and aims to grow rapidly to a membership of some 60 men and women who want to make a difference to the community.
