This document summarizes the activities from a Rotary Club of Freshwater Bay meeting, including: 1) A presentation was given by Professor Ray Wills on sustainable energy and renewable sources like solar, wind, and tidal power. 2) Upcoming events were announced like a speaking competition for students and a presentation on Perth's waterfront development. 3) A group study exchange to Fiji was postponed to allow participants to attend a district conference in April 2012. Alternative community service project ideas were discussed.
