Message from our President - Ron's Ramblings
Our meeting last week gave members an important insight into the value of quick action when a someone collapses and is having a possible heart attack. It was particularly interesting to note that the action taken first 4 minutes were so important to improving the outcome of someone suffering a heart attack and the critical use of external cardiac massage or a defibrillator.
This weeks speaker is James Grant who will be speaking about his interesting life and his role in finding jobs for long term unemployed people.
This week I will be asking for volunteers to help with our bar-b-que at Beaumaris tennis Club to support Brighton and Brighton north Rotary Clubs in their ‘Big Serve’ tennis tournament on Sunday October 29th. This is an ideal opportunity to get involved to a hands on project that is different from the market and gives us the opportunity to work with other local rotary clubs.

Next weeks breakfast meeting has been moved to an evening function at the 50 Acres restaurant at Cheltenham RSL opposite Moorabbin Airport. It will be mainly a social event and a=the opportunity to enjoy a good meal and a chat in a different venue.
The meeting September 27th will be at The Deck in Bay Street Brighton at the normal time of 7.OOam.
Yours in Rotary ‘Create Hope in The World.’

The submission of images via MMS is NOT preferred as they are too small and of inferior quality. Email or Whatsapp is preferred.
