Presidential Musings for the Week
We will remember for ever this year and what the feeling of a “lockdown” means.  It was the year of funny slogans like - 

“A mask is better than a ventilator
Home is better than ICU
Prevention is better than cure
It’s not CURFEW
It’s Care For U”

That did catch my eye on Facebook.  I will also look at doughnuts in a completely new way.  Even in photos, I keep the mask on since it will be easier to identify when that photo was taken!!  Although we don’t have to wear masks outside, when we meet to celebrate Christmas in the park, photos with our masks on will be a bittersweet reunion and a remembrance of the year that was!

Meeting Report November 24th 2020
Twenty-seven members and one visitor logged in via Zoom last Tuesday to hear the club's Youth Service Director Matt Fitton deliver his Member Behind the Badge address. Those who were able to join the meeting were treated to something special as Matt delivered an engaging and inspiring talk following the club's AGM. Matt, whose quiet demeanour belies a lifetime of enterprise and achievement, spoke to the club about his origins in Hobart, a childhood in East Bentleigh, and a lifetime of recognizing opportunities, taking a risk and having a go. The fact that Matt, is so busy with his current business, Nurse Next Door, which he operates with his wife Amber, is testament to his business acumen, entrepreneurial skills, organisational capabilities and commitment to delivering value to clients.
