Announcements
Jim Joseph :Reminded members of the Autism Awareness day to be held on Tuesday 8th May at Ascot. Jim is looking for approximately 20 volunteers for the day from members and their partners and handed a clip board around for names.
Jerry Pilcher : Reminded members that our Rotary meeting on Thursday 26th April would be a dinner meeting at the WA Golf Club 6pm for 6.30pm. Partners are welcome and a Board will be circulated for those wishing to attend. Cost will be $40 pp.
SwapMart: Paul Barfoot reported a good day with 241 bays with takings of $4,071.
Quote:Children: You spend the first 2 years of their lives teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut up. Minions Quote.
Acting Sgt Bomber Thompson :Vented his spleen on all the unfortunates.
Guest Speaker:PP Don Brooks introduced Professor Jenny Walsh from Centre for Sleep Research. Jenny spoke about many sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea and insomnia, describing various treatments and giving statistics on the many sleep disorders. Judging from the show of hands from members to some of Jenny’s questions it was obvious that many of our members suffer from sleep disorders and undoubtedly many have afternoon “nanny naps”.
After answering several questions from members Jenny was thanked for her presentation by Don Brooks.
Chase the Ace: Rob Collins won the bottle of wine but unfortunately the jackpot continues as he drew the 10 of hearts.
Closing:President Mike thanked members and guests and closed the meeting with the national anthem.
