A note from the Co-Presidents
As I sit at my desk typing, I keep being distracted by the brilliant sunshine outside, and all the spring tasks calling for me to do! Spring is well and truly here.
When it is fine it is easier to get out and be physically active-to do those things we know we should regularly do to stay healthy, both physically and mentally. It takes determination and grit to keep going when it is cold or rainy.
Paul Ceberano, our speaker on Monday, touched on the commitment needed by his Karate students in order to master the techniques, as well as the develop the mental attitude and calmness required. It was heartening to hear of the increase in self confidence students who were being bullied at school developed by learning Karate with Paul. He also told us of the amazing progress of Cathie’s niece, who at 14 will soon be being assessed for an adult Black Belt! Also stay tuned for Masters Karate classes to be run at CNC in the workshop building at the end of the carpark.
Next week will be very exciting as we will welcome back the PMM members and hear from ‘It’s the Little Things’ community founder, Jane Stewart. Next week is also our second Pantry Items Project collection day so be sure to bring your donations of the badly needed items with you.
Monday 27 October is an important day as at our meeting we will host District Governor, Peter Shepheard, and in his talk learn about him and his vision for his year as DG. It would be great to have a crowd so please bring partners (make sure you let Alan know of any visitors or absences).
Sustainability day at the Boroondara Farmer’s Market is coming on Saturday 15 November so let John McCaskill know if you can help at our R4Bs stand.

Thought of the day from last Monday's meeting with Paul Ceberano:
Bruce Lee said "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do".
