LINDSEY'S LETTERBOX

The Weetbix Kids TRY-ATHLON was well attended with at least 4 Rotary Clubs represented, over 2,000 kids from 7 to 15 years particpating and 240 volunteers.

West Perth Club had a sausage sizzle afterwards judging from the line it was a good fund raiser. All the participants were given a medal, there weren’t any losers despite flat tyres, falling off, losing their way or dropping from giving their all, even disabled kids gave it a go, well worth getting up at 5am.

Please ensure you have registered for the Sundowner at Matilda Bay Restaurant on Thursday 25 February for catering purposes, a reminder it is buy your own Drinks.

A Club Administration meeting is on Tuesday 9th, if you have any suggestions for Social occasions please get in touch with Lea Newing.

Our Breakfast meeting on 5 May will be held at Mirrabooka High School.

Don’t forget that Visitors are always welcome just let Lea or myself know so that Matilda Bay Restaurant can cater accordingly .

 Men’s eHealth Network

The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) has received funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and geing’s Healthy Active Community Grant to develop this research initiative together with the Vario Health Institute (VHI) based at Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western Australia.    

Become an important part of something great. Help to develop a new culture, where men speak up about their health concerns and actively seek to improve their health through lifestyle changes. MEHN community is a great opportunity to break out of your comfort zone and meet some new people in metropolitan, regional, rural and remote Australia. You will be able to extend support to your new found mates and they will hopefully return the favour. There is no need to bottle things up, get things off your chest that have been bothering you for days, weeks, months or even years. Along the way pick up some tips on how to potentially improve the quality and length of your life! Even though the responses may not be in real time as you read them they will come ‘alive’ and inspire you to ‘Take Charge of Life’. Your relationship between your MEHN comrades will become stronger with every time you log on.
 
REGISTER on the MEHN community to get started.
 
Have a look at the posted topics and find one or a few of common interest and get started posting! If there is a new topic that you would like to find out more
about then feel free to create a new post. Then just wait and see what MEHN come to the table.

Bad Food

A four-year old boy had been a great source of worry to his parents.  He had spoken no words and yet was of normal intelligence and not deaf.  He had been seen by many doctors, had many tests but all the results were normal, so the doctors were as baffled as his parents.

One day at mealtime he suddenly yelled:

'Food's bad!'

His partents were overjoyed and asked him why he had never spoken before.

'Food's never been bad before!'
