1. Acknowledge the disappointment – Yes - It is painful and a lot of reorganising. 
2. Accept the new normal – We just must face up to the reality of our situation.
3. Look out for others – We are all feeling flat.  Let’s party on July 13^th!!
4. Do things – Precisely what we are doing – switching to plan B, to delay to July 13^th.

We were given an informative talk on the growing insidious, and fatal, disease called Myeloma, a type of blood cancer of the bone marrow.

Myeloma is diagnosed in 38 Australians every week, with a life expectancy of seven to eight years. There is no known cause, it is not heredity, and there is no known cure at this time. There are a number of treatment options, including new antibody drugs and marrow transplants which may prolong a patient's life.

Lift the Lid on Mental Illness is Australian Rotary Health’s National annual fundraising day for mental health research.

it has now been extended to all Rotary Clubs across Australia.

Each year approximately 1-in-5 Australians will experience a mental illness and in order to help future generations of young Australians, we need to look ahead through research and find out how we can prevent this type of illness occurring.

More details will follow in the upcoming bulletins with details about this worthwhile event.

The International Marathon Fellowship of Rotarians was formed after a group of French Rotarians developed the idea of having at least 100 Rotarians competing in the Paris Marathon during Rotary’s Centennial year in 2005. The Fellowship was chartered the following year at the Berlin Marathon and since then, the group has met annually somewhere around the world to participate in a long distance running event.

Marathon running is a popular sport throughout the world with many countries having annual events. For this reason the International Marathon Fellowship of Rotarians has many countries from which to choose when organising a place where its members can stay, compete in a marathon event and enjoy hospitality, friendship and local tourism.
