Last weeks Cluster meeting 
Thanks to the Pres for the report on the Eastside cluster meeting this past week
 
President’s Report
 
On Tuesday evening the 91 members and friends of the Rotary clubs of Balwyn, Balwyn North, Camberwell and Canterbury listened to Associate Professor Dr Michael Woodward speak about the clinical trials around the management and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease – AD.
 
The disease is characterised by the build up or clumping of naturally occurring amyloids in the medial temporal part of the brain. These amyloids are also referred to as plaque. The build up can be due to genetic predisposition and it is predicted that 1 in 3 people will develop some degree of AD. The disease affects memory and thought processes.
 
The presence of plaque can be detected through an amyloid PET scan. Clinical trials of monoclonal antibody drugs have shown to improve levels of plaque in the brain.  Monoclonal antibodies mimic the antibodies your body naturally produces as part of your immune system's response to foreign invaders or vaccines.
 
Unfortunately, our generation will likely not benefit from current trails, however our children and future generations will. In the meantime, keep your brain active by doing crosswords, number games and word games, learn a language, solve problems, eat a Mediterranean diet, exercise 5 times a week for 45 minutes and work up to a healthy puff and maintain an active social life to help stave off dementia.

FORaMEAL update
 
A couple of good stories from the FORaMEAL camp
 
Philippines - In the last four weeks our shipment to the Philippines has helped victims of a massive earthquake in Abra,  a huge fire in Masbate, and now typhoon  Karding in San Miguel.   See photos below.   
 
Just as well that we have so many packing events in November and December; it looks as though we will be needing to send another shipment early next year. 
 
Rotarians assisting said, “The victims wish to extend their thanks for the emergency foods packs, this is great help for them and as of now they starting to rebuild their homes.” 
 
Ukraine - 
Today 100,000 meals were transported to Rotary’s Donations in Kind warehouse to be collected by the ADF this week and sent via Poland to the people of the Ukraine.  
 
The shipment will also include 6 pallets of medical and surgical supples,  …. And underpants, especially requested, were sourced from all over Melbourne.  
 
Whatever the need, Rotary finds a way to meet it. 
 
 
A final thanks to those who made the effort to respond to the vote on Regionalisation
Next weeks meeting October 3rd - Bianca Friend Australian Wildlife Conservancy
 
“Bianca joined AWC (2018) in Melbourne where she regularly enjoys meeting with donors and presenting on AWC projects to the wider community. Prior to AWC she worked with an equestrian publication managing sponsorships and associated stakeholders. Bianca’s conservation interest began by volunteering with various conservation groups leading her to AWC. She is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Science (Zoology) at La Trobe University. In July 2022 Bianca volunteered with the AWC north-west ecology team on wildlife surveys in the Kimberley – a career highlight!”

Paul Harris Breakfast
RIMERN wine order
RIMERN Homemaker Wine orders
 
 
After its successful Van Rouge campaign, RIMERN is embarking on a new campaign - marketing quality wines towards funding a new delivery van to streamline operations.
 
The new campaign will reward RIMERN clients by providing photos of the donated goods in situ, in their new homes, and on RIMERN social media. This activity promotes RIMERN's services and demonstrates to clients, volunteers and donors (stakeholders), the quality of the goods available: a positive and inspiring image.
 
 
It’s Spring: time for a new life and a new beginning.
The new RIMERN wine promotion is called “Homemaker Voucher Vino”. Again, it will offer quality wines at a special cost. Funds raised will contribute to the Rewards scheme for the RIMERN clients who participate in the social media campaign. Funds will also contribute to the much-needed delivery van.
 
Rewards will consist of a $50 Coles Group & Myer Gift Card which can be redeemed by our clients in Myer, Target, Kmart, Coles, Liquorland, Vintage Cellars, First Choice Liquor Superstore or Officeworks. It allows the clients to add personalised touches to their new homes such as small items or goodies to entertain...

The wine selection is a new and exciting range produced by the well-known Yarra Valley winemaker Peter Fergusson with exciting premium options.
These are: -
·      South Australian 2021 Sauvignon Blanc 
·      Clare Valley 2020 Riesling 
·      Victorian 2021 Reserve Sangiovese Rosé
·      Yarra Valley 2018 Chardonnay
·      Yarra Valley 2019 Pinot Noir
·      Heathcote 2020 Shiraz
 
How do I order?
You can order a minimum of 6 bottles, but we raise $40 per dozen sold! Remember: for every purchase of a dozen wines from the above selection, $40.00 goes towards the purchase of the vouchers.
Peruse the offerings above and make your selection – there is a great selection to suit your palate.
