Last wednesday Nathan Burke the famous St Kilda footballer spoke to us about mental wellness . What a riveting presentation it was . We had a great attendance with over 30 attended . There was great energy in the room with about 7  guests added to the vibrancy.  
Next Wednesday we have Denise Grocke from the Rotary Club of Beaumaris. She is a music therapist and we expect to hear how music can help with therapy.
In a few weeks time Sam Radford will speak to us . He was an assistant coach at the Premiership Melbourne,  a coach for the Parkdale Vultures, He is a very fine articulate young man.and a teacher at St Bedes.
Later on Will Tomlinson will speak to us . He is a former super featherweight world champion. He has a boxing Gymn in Moorabbin

Emergency Plus App
As members may recall, a couple of weeks ago we had reason to call for an ambulance to attend at Cilantro.
I am taking the opportunity now to recommend to members, and whoever else finds this article, to consider installing the Emergency Plus app on their smart device. And, to ensure you place a shortcut on your Home Screen.
 
Opening the app at a time of emergency will give you immediate access to the appropriate phone numbers and, very importantly, provide accurate location information. Often a simple street address may not be available or useful.
Read on into this article for how to obtain the app and a summary of what it contains.

Note from the Editor re Images and Events
A point regarding the submission of images for the Bulletin and Website: Members are reminded that images have to meet a minimum size requirement, as has been specified for some time in the section at the bottom of this Bulletin. 820 pixels is the minimum size required with larger being better as this allows for cropping. The submission of images via MMS is NOT preferred as they are too small and of inferior quality. Email or Whatsapp is far superior.
Would any member like to take responsibility for the updating of the Club's Event Calendar? I have created a page of instructions here so it is very easy to take over.
Thank you, Ian Ballantine
