It has been disastrous couple of weeks for the blog.as no sooner had I got the ADSL line back than I spilled wine over the laptop keyboard! By bye laptop! .......Well, not, actually. The manufacturers can fit a new motherboard for a reasonable price and they come to my house and do it on Wednesday! How is that for service!This week
It's a Business Meeting and an important one....when I say that we usually seem to have a low turn-out. We have to be looking at the Rotary Year 2015-16 and giving some thought to who will be president then. Joan Donet will expand on this at the meeting as we need to develop a 3-Year Plan.
Workers Day Breakfast
Many thanks to Joan and Graham Donet for hosting a breakfast at their home last Wednesday. The weather was kind, the food was good and the company exceptional
Dr Peter Noach
Thanks Mike Vink for these comments:
Did you
know there are good guys and bad guys waging war against each other, and
against sugar and fizzy drinks in your mouth? If you were at our lat meeting you'd know, courtesy of Dr Peter Noach, who told us all he knows about
dental care in 20 minutes.
Judging by the many questions asked after
his talk, quite a few members would have phoned their dentists after the
meeting to set up an appointment!
The meeting was well attended and apart
from Dr Noach, whose father-in-law, by the way, was president of the Rotary
Club of Ermelo in the sixties, we also welcomed Samantha Donet as a guest. Apparently she's thinking of single-handedly lowering the average age of
the club by five or more years!
There were also a few minutes in the
crammed schedule for Prisca Lete to give feedback on her visit to Lausanne to
present her research into a rebranding of Sun City.
The Wattle Crane & Ground Horn bill Projects
Gill Nomis from the Johannesburg Zoo introduced Lara Jordan, Curator, Birds who talked about the two projects and showed us some very tiny pictures....Apple doesn't plug into the projector. Lara emphasised the importance of this conservation project and invited us to visit the zoo and see what was going on.
I will discuss this with the club at the Business Meeting. Here we do have some pictures!

A Rotarian volunteer marks a door during National Immunization Days in the fishing village of Azuretti, Côte d’lvoire.
Rotarians in Côte d’lvoire took part in National Immunization Days (NIDs) beginning 26 April. They joined thousands of health workers and volunteers in mobilizing public support, ensuring the safe delivery of the oral polio vaccine, and administering the life-saving drops to more than 3 million children. The nation’s last case of polio occurred in July 2011. The NIDs also provided vitamin A supplements and de-worming tablets to children to expand public health benefits, which is another objective of the new polio endgame strategic plan.
