Greetings to all,
We have now had our last club meeting for 2016-2017. Although our Club Changeover
isn’t until Saturday 8 July it is worth making acknowledgements this week on account of
the upcoming change of leadership within Rotary as of 1 July.
DG Linda McLerie has done an outstanding job as District Governor over the past
year. What has been truly admirable has been the fact that she has done her utmost to
attend as many major events held by different clubs around District 9465 as possible,
despite the distance factor. Given that her home is based in Kalgoorlie, it has meant an
enormous amount of travel and time away from home. Linda’s husband Greg also
deserves huge congratulations for his support to Linda, and for being prepared to
maintain the family home and, as Linda explained, “keep working so that we can live!”.
The theme for this Rotary year was Rotary Serving Humanity. As a club we have
addressed this theme through a range of club projects such as the Timor project, Rotary
Swimarathon, the Kwinana Adventure Park, the Rotaract project in Indonesia, the bread
run, School Breakfast Club, and support to other local charities.
Speaking of the Kwinana Adventure Park, what a buzz to receive not one but three
major awards! This recognition can only be a good thing for Kwinana. Once again,
huge congratulations to PDG John Iriks and his team for being such a strong driving
force behind this project. Wonderful to have seen their vision become a reality which
will reap great benefits for our community.

Bread Roster: reminder to all members to check the schedule. Thanks to those members (and partners!) who are helping with the bread run. With winter being upon us, we are likely to
have more vacancies due to people being away. The roster has been prepared up to

Would encourage anyone else not previously involved to participate if possible.
Club Changeover Night will be held on Saturday 8 July 2017 at the Darius Wells Centre (Ken Jackman Room); cost to be $40 per head. Thanks to all those members and partners
who have put in their RSVPs. We will have the pleasure of Mayor Carol Adams and MP
Roger Cook attending Changeover.
Have official reports for the Indonesia project – one covering last year’s trip and one for this
year’s trip. Fundraising garage sales will be commencing again, with the first one scheduled

Guest Speaker
Kay Worsley
Guest speaker for this week was local naturopath, Kay Worsley. After gaining her qualifications in
naturopathy seven years ago, Kay worked in several different practices before establishing her own
practice in Medina eighteen months ago.
Naturopaths deal with a range of medical complaints, and focus strongly on health and wellness. They
don’t dispense drugs, but instead use herbs and supplements in conjunction with managing lifestyle and
diet. For example, when looking at liver complaints, a naturopath will look at what is causing issues
such as itches and digestive problems. Kay often see clients with a combination of health issues which
have built up over time. The age of her clients ranges from 18 – 75 years.
Services provided by Kay include:
Quadscan
Saliva hormone testing
Hair mineral analysis
Food allergy/sensitivity
Comprehensive digestive stool test
Liver function profile
Cardiovascular risk assessment
Australian bush flower essences.
The first consultation with a naturopath lasts for an hour. Iridology is undertaken, which entails
looking in patients’ eyes. After taking a photo of the eyes, a naturopath will look at the fibre structure,
which gives an indication of what body organs need support.
Another feature of Kay’s services is body composite testing. This is a means of tracking fluid levels in
the body; as people improve in health fluid levels will increase.
Kay runs a diabetes support group between 11am-12pm on the first Thursday of the month at the Frank
Konechny Centre in Parmelia.
Towards the end of her presentation, Kay made a point of saying that the best time to see a naturopath
is when you are well – this will help you to stay well!
Naturopathic services are recognised by private health insurers. However, supplements are not
claimable.
Further information about Kay’s practice is available at www.kwinananaturopath.com.au.

Farewell DG Linda McLerie
Our deepest thanks and appreciation to 2016-2017 District Governor Linda McLerie. We will always remember
her strong support to us, and the fact that she made the effort to attend many of our significant events, such as the
Classic Car Show and the Rotary Swimarathon. She will also be remembered for her love of the colour purple!
Wishing Linda and her husband Greg all the very best for the future.
What a journey it has been!
