At our last meeting Associate Professor, Paul Gow, a leading specialist in liver disease and gastroenterology, gave us a very informative and at times fun presentation on how we should best care for our liver. Two areas which have been open for debate over the years are the effects of coffee and alcohol on our liver. Associate Professor Gow assured us thar coffee in any form has been demonstrated to be very good for us because it contains plenty of antioxidants. Alcohol on the other hand, has been shown to be beneficial but only in very moderate amounts of consumption.
Our recent Farmers Market was very successful with the theme of Doggie Day. Congratulations and thank you to our Veterinarian, Andrea, and all the other helpers on the day.
Next Tuesday evening, we will hear from two students who attended the MUNA (Model United Nations Assembly) Rotary Youth program. This is one of the many programs that come under the Youth Committee auspices and is beneficial in encouraging students to debate important world issues.
