President-Elect Bev's Message.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed Julie’s comprehensive power point presentation. There were some startling statistics and I sincerely hope that the Maternal/Child programme comes to fruition in Nepal.
All the best to you and your team Julie. We know that you will do your best to engage with the local midwives to enhance and value their learning.
 
It was enlightening listening to Malcolm talking about his experiences in Indonesia whilst studying Islam. I am sure that he has other aspects of his studies that he could speak of in the future.
 
We have a busy week ahead; HDV at the Winchester Swap Meet, Rotary Youth Driving Academy at the Stadium on Tuesday and Wednesday, 9 and 10 April, also our annual meeting with the Ashburton Rotary Club who are travelling down to share our hospitality.
 
Enjoy your week.
Bev.

A Riddle To Solve.
 
The answer to the last riddle:-
       A.  Add the letter G and then presto—it’s Gone!
 

The word "what" is spelled with four letters (w, h, a, and t). The word "sometimes" is spelled with 9 letters (s,o,m,e,t,i,m,e, and s) etc.
