President Andrea's Message.
After a few days of reflection on Tuesday night's meeting with Kellie from the Neurological Foundation, I'm still amazed about how simple some of the solutions are to our most intriguing organ. The Brain is the most wonderful thing in our body. It also has some of the most complicated and challenging health issues centred around it. To see how the research in our own area is working to improve the quality of the patient's life is amazing.
The Kindling Project is one of the projects that has taken on a life of its own. I'm amazed how much time and energy everyone involved is giving to this. A big thank you to Tony Henderson for all his input.
Queens Birthday weekend is upon us. I hope everyone is going to enjoy it with family and friends.
Rest up well everyone.

Rotaries Ongoing Fight To Eradicate Polio.
There are now 24 confirmed cases of polio this year – 7 in Afghanistan and 17 in Pakistan – all as a result of the ongoing hostilities along the border between the two countries.
When you read the attachments, you will understand the difficulty of the situation and the bravery of our volunteers.
Bill Gates leaves no doubt on the absolute vital nature of ongoing support from Rotary – along with his commitment.
Please refer the attached information on what is being done to address the challenging situation in Pakistan.
There are links to three articles below which provide many answers
