Meeting Talk
All About EV’s by Dr Chris Jones
The guest speaker on Monday 26th August was Dr Chris Jones, the president of the AEVA (the Australian Electric Vehicle Association, and who spoke about Electric Vehicles. Dr Chris said that electric vehicles can be powered by coal, gas, nuclear, wind, solar or hydro electricity The mission of the Association is to transition Australia’s transport networks to electric propulsion as quickly as possible. They hold workshops, webinars, field trips and drive days. EV cars are charged through either a battery pack or direct through the power grid, and that this area is a very fast changing field. There are many EV charging stations around WA, but actually still not enough.

Melville Rotary Indigenous Education Scholarship
Thailand Borderless Friendship
Borderless Friendship Western Australia works to enhance the lives of hill tribe children in Northern Thailand. We enable children/young people to continue at school. The opportunity for education will benefit them and their whole community. We know that keeping at-risk hill tribe children at school helps eliminate child labour and the sale of children into drug running and child sex slavery. When faced with starvation, education becomes an extravagance.
