F1 Melbourne Grand Prix

A very popular return of the Albert Park event after its Covid hiatus! The photo with the blue vehicle in it shows end of a long line of people with the head of the line in the background at the tent. Gives a good idea of the popularity of the Rotary BBQ.

Congratulations to all involved in what will prove to be a very successful fundraising activity.

Bakhtar warehouse Noble Park
The new Bahktar warehouse in Noble Park is now operating. 
 
We arranged last Saturday for a large range of goods to be delivered from the homes of Sue Fitz and one of our gardening clients and from our North Balwyn depot.

The venue structure is solid and quite large and, if Bahktar can negotiate a longer-term agreement with Council, they can apply for State government funding for some renovations and it can be come a valuable centre for the group.  There are two sheds behind the main building which are suitable for storing furniture and larger items before they are distributed to families.

Geoff's Health Tip
A Way to Save Yourself from Dementia
 
I revisited the 14 articles I had written since 2016 about dementia and Alzheimers disease in 'Health Tips'.  The most startling was 'Dementia the No1 Killer'.  This is not strictly true for males as CHD is number one, but with females it is true.  Until you have a loved one that is experiencing dementia you probably would not believe that anyone would die from the effects of dementia, but in fact 14,700 Australians died from the effects of dementia in 2019.  As a point of comparison, there were 982 deaths from Covid-19 in 2021.

A Rotary Safe Families Ambassador Club
 

- The 3 R's on your club Rotary Safe Families card are:

Recognise the signs

Raise your concerns

Refer for help.

Go to rotarysafefamilies.org.au 

One sign to recognise is if you notice a person seems afraid of their partner or anxious to please them. 

Don't be a bystander, say,"I am worried about you; lately you seem so unhappy"

Listen to their response without judgement.
