Rotaract Club of Subiaco

	Entertainment Books In early 2003, we decided to try our hand at selling Entertainment Books. We raised almost $600 from this and these funds were used to send wheelchairs to disabled children in Third World Countries. It's been great for the Club as we often choose where to go and what to do from the vouchers in the Entertainment Book. Our sponsoring Rotary Clubs, Subiaco and Matilda Bay, were especially helpful in buying so many books as were friends and family of Subiaco Rotaract Members.
	Teddy Bear Project The Teddy Bear Project is a joint initiative with Family and Children's Services to distribute teddy bears to western Australian foster children. Completed for the first time in 2002, we hope for this to become an annual project.
	Youth Focus Quiz Night In early 2003 Subiaco Rotaract decided to try their hand at organising a quiz night. The beneficiary chosen was Youth Focus - a West Australian, non-profit community based organisation working with young people 12-18 years of age who are showing early signs associated with suicide and deliberate self-harm. The quiz night was a huge success with raffles, auctions and very challenging questions! Subiaco Rotaract are proud to say that we raised a total of $2200 for Youth Focus. We had such a fun night and can't wait to host another Quiz Night in 2004! .
	Social Every few weeks, Subi Rotaract tries to organise a social outing for its members and exchange students. Whilst going to the movies is always fun, we often like to try different things, like mini golf, iceskating and paintball.
	Car Rally - March 2003 In early 2003, Subiaco Rotaract held their first ever car rally. The day was fun for all with everyone trying to find their way around the city and win one of our fabulous prizes! We can't wait to organise another one for early 2004!

	Swapmart Each month a member of Subiaco Rotaract is dobbed in to be the representative at the Warwick Swapmart. This swapmart is organised between Scarborough and Subiaco Rotary Clubs to raise money for various community events. The Rotaractor shows up at the awful hour of 8:30am on a Sunday morning to help collect money for entry and make to occasional cup of coffee, tea or milo. Subiaco Rotaract gets a percentage of the profits to use towards a cause of our choice.
	King Edward Memorial Hospital Another Rotary project that Subi has participated in this year is gardening at King Edward Memorial Hospital. The Rotary Club of Matilda Bay hopes to restore and maintain a memorial garden at the hospital and we will continue to help them out in any way we can.
	Greening the Freeway As Rotaractors, we are often called upon to help out our sponsoring Rotary clubs with their projects. Earlier this year, will all Rotary and Rotaract clubs in Western Australia, we participated in the Greening of the Freeways project. This involved the planting of seedlings along a huge stretch of the Freeway, both north and south of the river.
	Matilda Bay Triathlon Subiaco Rotaract Members had a very early start on Australia Day 2004! We headed down to the Swan River at 6am to help Matilda Bay Rotary set up for their annual triathlon. Plenty of fun was had by all as we split up along the cycle course in our fluro orange jackets and made sure none of the cyclists went off track!

	Football Parking Each year the Subiaco Council asks locally based community groups to assist in parking cars for sports events held at Subiaco Oval. Subi Rotaract has been lucky enough to be allocated AFL and rugby games for the past five years, making football parking a major fundraiser for the club. Last years funds went towards the Teddy Bear Project.
	Royal Perth Breast Cancer Clinic Earlier this year, the club photographed and framed copies of artwork from patients at the Royal Perth Breast Cancer Clinic. The framed artwork is now hanging proudly in the clinic. Thanks to P.P. Geoff Byfield for being the driving force behind this project.
	Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal For the past two years, our club has raised over $1000 doorknocking for the Salvation Army's Red Shield Appeal.
	Kinetic Sculpture Race 2004 On Saturday 6th March 2004, the members of Subiaco Rotaract along with Tony Pankiw, raced their first kinetic sculpture. Click here to view pictures from the day!
