Zoom Meeting Monday October 18th which is a Board Meeting
 
7.00 pm
 
President Di will send out Zoom information 
 
    
 
Di's Dialogue #61
 
Another week has flown by!
 
Many thanks to Gareth Pollard for his presentation on Monday night and bringing us all up to speed regarding cardiac resuscitation.
 
My key takeaways from the presentation:
1. Doing mouth-to-mouth breathing is no longer a necessity.
2. Chest compression to keep blood circulating is important.
3. ‘Stayin Alive’ is still the best song to keep in rhythm when doing chest compression.
4. I can be a GoodSAM Responder by downloading the GoodSAM app.
5. I need a list with medications and medical history handy for paramedics to access.
We had twenty Rotarians online for the session and I thank Roger Taylor for his willingness to chair that part of the meeting. With Gareth’s permission, the ‘Call Push Shock’ power point has been emailed to all members.
 
This coming Monday is a Board meeting. Thank you Robin Noakes for taking on the responsibility for providing Zoom links to Board members. The meeting will start at 7.00pm. Thank you also to Secretary Maureen for sending out the agenda and minutes.
The third Monday of the month will be an important meeting as we will have our District Governor online with us. Bill Degnan is looking forward to visiting our club. Usually, the evening is set aside for whatever the DG would like to talk about with members, so we may not have time for Chairs to report back to the club post Board meeting.
On that same night, I am hoping we can all come along wearing a hat in support of ‘Lift the Lid on Mental Health’ which is an Australian Rotary Health National annual fundraising event. Sargeant Barry will run a focused fine session to raise funds for mental health. So, start planning what you will wear and be prepared to pay some friendly fines. There could  even be some Level 3 fines!
 
Also, please continue to reach out to fellow Rotarians who might need a friendly chat to brighten their day. We may not be able to engage in Rotary community-based activities but we can still engage in fellowship.
 
In closing, the COVID-19 statistics in both Latrobe City and Baw Baw Shire are still rising but so are the vaccination rates.
Please stay safe everyone and take care when out-and-about.

At  last, confirmation of 'Murphy's Law' with a wonderful Irish explanation:

Murphy drops some buttered toast on the kitchen floor,  and lo behold.....and it lands butter-side-up.
He looks own in astonishment, for he knows it's a law of the universe that buttered toast 
ALWAYS ls butter-down. So he rushes round to the Parish to fetch Father  Flanagan. He tells the Priest that a miracle has occurred in his  kitchen. He won't say what it is, but asks Fr. Flanagan to come and  see it with his own eyes.
He leads Fr. Flanagan into the kitchen and  asks him what he sees on the floor.  
"Well," says he Priest, "it's  pretty obvious. Someone has dropped some buttered toast on the floor  and then, for some reason, hey flipped it over so that the butter was  on top."“No, Father, I dropped it and it landed like that!"  exclaimed Murphy.  "Oh my Lord," says Fr. Flanagan, "Dropped toast  never falls with the butter side up.  
It's a miracle... but wait... it's not for me to say it's a miracle.  I'll have to report this matter 
to the Bishop, and, he'll have to deal with it.  He'll send some people round to interview you, take photos, etc."
A thorough investigation is conducted, not only by the Archdiocese but by scientists 
sent over from the Curia in Rome.  No expense is spared.  
There is great excitement in the town as everyone knows that a miracle will bring in much needed tourism revenue.
Then, after 8 long weeks and with great fanfare, the Bishop announces the final ruling.
"It  is certain that some kind of an extraordinary event took place in Murphy's kitchen, 
quite outside the natural laws of the universe. Yet  the Holy See must be 
very cautious before ruling a miracle. All other explanations must be ruled out."
"Unfortunately, in this case, it  has been declared 'No Miracle', because they think  . . .
 
Murphy may have buttered the toast on the wrong side!"
