President's Message

Kerrie and I are sailing between Taiwan and Hong Kong at the moment (Friday 12 Oct).
I hope all is well with you all. 
Just a reminder that we will be having a general meeting for all members on Monday 22 October at 7.30pm when we will hear about Australian Rotary Health from Viv Armstrong. I hope you all will be able to join us. more details next week.
I am sure we are all supportive of our Secretary/Treasurer, Ian Sayers with the news about Laurel’s illness recently diagnosed. We are thinking of them both.
I look forward to joining the meeting with you all on 22 October from Ho Chi Minh City.

Regards

Brian Norris

 

This week's meeting material

Australian Rotary Health

On the next general meeting we will be joined by Vivienne Armstrong from Australian Rotary Health

Australian Rotary Health is one of the largest independent funders of mental health research within Australia.
We also provide funding into a broad range of general health areas, provide scholarships for rural medical and nursing students, as well as Indigenous health students. Australian Rotary Health provides funding into areas of health that do not readily attract funding, and promotes findings to the community.
Australian Rotary Health is a project of the Rotary Districts of Australia and is supported by Rotary Clubs.  We have a broad vision to improve the health and well-being of all Australians. For further information visit Australian Rotary Health website
