Last week
 
Thank you to all who contributed photos from childhood to help make a fun segment at our second last meeting for 2021. It was nice to see all the happy faces, especially partners Gina and Maree helping us to top the 40 mark again. We also enjoyed a visit by Geoff Steinicke’s cousin Ian Cohn, Past President of RC Mt Beauty. As we end the first half of my year as President, I thank who have provided assistance, shared advice and shown tolerance.
 
RCNB is a great club. Someone should write a song about it!

Days for Girls

 

On Wednesday 17th November our Days for Girls group was finally able to meet again after another extended lockdown. Our numbers were down slightly which is understandable as some people are still quite nervous about meeting in groups but we still had I think 15 people there for the day.

Overall we had a terrific day and as usual there was lots of friendly chatter happening as we all worked away. There was lots of sewing, cutting and pinning going on and 60 - 80 Days for Girls kits were packed ready to go out to girls.

The kits will be distributed next year sometime as COVID has made our normal distribution chains more difficult. We did get 90 kits sent out through the year though which was terrific.

We will have one more Workshop day this year on Tuesday 14th December and I do hope that 2022 will be a more settled year and we will be able to resume having monthly Workshops.

Geoff's Health Tip
MAGIC MUSHROOMS
 
"Magic mushrooms" may take you on a psychedelic trip, but maitake and shiitake mushrooms can fortify your body against ill -health.  Now that's truly magical!    
Commonly called the "king of mushrooms," maitake mushrooms are a panacea of health-boosting benefits. 
 
Maitake mushrooms are adaptogens that can help fortify your body against many types of stress. Adaptogenic herbs, including many mushrooms, can stimulate your natural immunity to disease and help you maintain a healthful state of balance. These large, brown mushroom clusters are sometimes referred to as "hen of the woods" with their delicately layered, feathery appearance.
