Hi all, Thirty attendees today, a busy agenda and a very emotional presentation by Megan Gaffney, representing the Vilomah Committee as our guest speaker. Thank you once again to all those rostered for meeting duties for coming early and organising the set up and clearing down after the meeting. Next week will be a vocational visit to the Men's Shed. There will be BBQ put on by the shed members, which will cost each of us $10 per head. Nineteen members have already indicated they will attend. Secretary Peter will send out a further memo before the end of the week. Please respond ASAP so that we can have final numbers by the Friday. Neil Pinto has sent out an email seeking interest from all members with respect to restarting the Meal Wheel Deal initiative. Three members and partners would be rostered together to take turns at hosting one another for meals. There will be an obligation on each couple meet their commitment hosting a meal. Please respond to Neil's email whether it be nay or yay, so that he knows all have received the email. All members who have received Youth Declaration forms from James Hamilton, please complete them and return them to James as soon as possible. Good luck to our intrepid cricketers, Benn, Flynn and Gray who are venturing into the tropics to compete in a week long Rotary veterans cricket event. Take it easy gents, take a measured approach both with the cricket and evening celebrations. Regards, President Phil |

Our Guest Speaker today was Megan Gaffney.
We also had a visit from a South Australian videographer, who was working for the promotion of Beyond Blue. Robert Lang was a professional photographer who has since taken up video making and is enjoying the change and the challenge. He is travelling extensively in the area to bring the message of Beyond Blue to the wider community. He was the "hurried" guest of David Benn.
David Hodge collected quite a few dollars from his experience with a psychic who could read the AFL ladder, even culminating in the final result and by how much! Col Duff was the last man standing, a strong supporter of Richmond!. The bone (pointing) psychic was revealed...but mark my words, not one raced to the bookies!!
PP John Gray outlined the role of Rotary in the current war on the Ukraine.
