Heirisson Fundraising
Another function of Club Service within any Rotary Club is to oversee fundraising activities. Without these funds Rotary would not be able to undertake any of the service projects it does. We try to raise as much fun as funds. Our fun(d)raising activities include:
-
Claisebrook Carnival and
Duck Derby
See the Duck Derby site for more details.
-
Heirisson Golf Classic
Members and friend get together for a social game of golf (really!), proceeds go to general Heirisson projects.
-
Gala Dinner and Auction
A grand dinner with great food, wine, camaraderie ... and auction items! A fun night for friends of Rotary in our local business and professional community. Proceeds support nominated Heirisson projects.
-
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
Members and partners host a dinner party for six to eight people. Hosts don't know who will arrive at their door until they answer their bell. Guests take a bottle of wine for their hosts (and one for themselves), but don't know where they are going until just before the event. Deep and meaningful discussions have been known to occur! Mostly its just a lot of fun!

Fines and Copperpot
A home for that loose change we all collect in our pockets each week. But watch out for our Sergeant! With our ears to the ground, we know all the latest goss. The truth hurts, as only friends can deliver it; but you can pay more to share a tall story.

Special function and events
The club also arranges, or participates in, various social functions and events - generally within the Rotary family. These include the annual Ken Collins Address, Changeover Night, Christmas and New Year parties, and barbeques for Grand Final and other major sporting event, etc. Occasionally we attend events promoted by organisations that Rotary supports. (Somehow they nearly always seem to involve great food and wine?) Any proceeds support Rotary projects in our Club or District, or the causes promoting the event.
New Money!
A variety of other fund-raising mechanisms are continually being explored. Currently we are assessing the viability of placing collection boxes at Perth airports for loose change from travellers, particularly those leaving for or returning from overseas. Foreign coin is usually worthless to individual travellers, because of exchange difficulties, but soon mounts up with thousands of visitors flying in and out of Perth.
