The Official Rotary Flag
An official flag was formally adopted by Rotary International
 at the 1929 Convention in Dallas, Texas.
 The Rotary flag consists of a white field with the 
official wheel emblem emblazoned in gold in the centre of the field.
 The four depressed spaces on the rim of the Rotary wheel 
are coloured royal blue. 
The words "Rotary" and "International" printed at the
 top and bottom depressions on the wheel rim are also gold. 
The shaft in the hub and the keyway of the wheel are white.
The first official Rotary flag reportedly was flown 
in Kansas City, Missouri, in January 1915.
 In 1922 a small Rotary flag was carried over the South Pole
 by Admiral Richard Byrd,
 a member of the Rotary Club of Winchester, Virginia, U.S.A.
 Four years later, the admiral carried a Rotary flag 
in his expedition to the North Pole.
Some Rotary clubs use the official Rotary flag 
as a banner at club meetings.
 In these instances it is appropriate to print the words 
"Rotary Club" above the wheel symbol and the name
 of the city, state or nation below the emblem.
The Rotary flag is always prominently displayed 
at the World Headquarters as well as at all conventions
 and official events of Rotary International.

Rotary Club of Kwinana


October 24 was World Polio Day.
 To mark this event, a number of club members and partners 
participated in World's Greatest Meal to raise funds for End Polio
 Now by having a fundraising dinner at Chawla's Indian Restaurant in Medina.
 Great food and hospitality, and wonderful fellowship.
 As an added bonus, we had the pleasure of having 
AG Barry Berger and his wife Hazel join us for the meal.
 As India was the most recent country to be declared polio-free
 through the efforts of Rotary International's polio eradication program,
 we felt it highly appropriate to have a meal on this day
 at a local Indian restaurant
. Deepest appreciation to Harry and his staff for looking after us so well
. Our next major fundraiser for End Polio Now will be our
 2017 Rotary Swimarathon on 19 February 2017
 at the Kwinana Recquatic centre.

Please Re-Elect Gerald

This is what a political ad should be.
 Gerald Daugherty is a county commissioner in Travis County, Texas.
 He’s either a pretty good actor,
 or else this is exactly how he is in real life.
 And his wife Charlyn is an excellent actor. 
This ad is for his re-election campaign this year.
 What you want in a local office like this is someone
 who cares about the job and is willing to do the work.
 It helps if he (or she) knows what they are doing.
 This ad conveys all that in a 60-second drama
 that will also make you laugh.
