 Last week
 
We had an interesting discussion on retirement from Peter Graham -  Retirement Coach with 30 members in attendance
 
The D9800 Conference has concluded successfully. Some inspiring stories and speakers! Well done to DG Dale, RC of Brighton and all involved, especially our PP Jane Pennington (suitably recognised with a Rotary Service Award).
 
Glorious weather at Albury-Wodonga.

Geoff's Health Tip
That Morning Coffee May Cut the Risk of Cardio Vascular (CVD) and other Diseases
 
With coffee assuming the mantle of Australia's most popular beverage, you will be pleased to know that a massive review of the scientific literature has found that drinking up to three cups of coffee a day provides the most health benefits.  
 
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, found benefits such as, reducing the risk for heart disease, multiple sclerosis, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and all cause mortality.  This study was supported by research published in Medscape Medical News 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.
