If you did not get the email and want to attend  (Zoom option offered) I will pass on the registration details to you.
The District Classified Ads has been issued, listing lots of activities and opportunities for you to get involved with District Rotary events, golf, movies, fellowship and bargains that could be of interest to just about everyone.

                   Lift The Lid on Mental illness
                 
Rotarian Phil Martin gave members and friends a masterly performance as the club's sergeant at last night's meeting. Taking in some good fun and laughter to the seriousness of those who have suffered with mental health issues, he displayed all the sensitivities of humanity.   At some time in our lives each one of us has likely known of someone who has been affected by the sadness or loss that occurs as a result of mental illness. Well done Phil...Thank you.
 
Australian Rotary Health commenced its life in 1982 by granting $2 million for research into Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Since 1986 through to 2019 over $46 million has  been distributed for scholarships, grants and fellowships to Australian researchers.  From the year 2000, ARH has focussed its funding on mental health research. In 2012 this focus narrowed to the 'Mental Health of Young Australians', and in 2013 research projects focussing on the 'Prevention of Mental health' were included.   
 
At our club meeting a variety of hats were displayed by members who were happy to 'Lift the Lid'.  Each contributor gave a brief on what their hat meant to them. The photo below shows those selected by the judges as the best from the crop of hats in the room.

I recommend that this event be included in our program every year. Editor.
