MEETING OF 1ST AUGUST
President Alan opened the meeting with a general welcome to members and a special welcome to our guest speaker Roslyn Leslie from Wildlife Volunteers Association (WILVOS) as well as Paulette Steele who was becoming a member.
Chris Brooker reported that he had sufficient volunteers for parking at the Cross Country on 4th August. The attached photograph shows how successful his team was on that day.
However the National Championships to be held on 25th August is a much bigger and will require all hands on deck.
Bernice is looking for volunteers for marshalling a charity bike ride on 6th October which aims to raise funds for Care Flight.
The Sergeant then made another set of fanciful allegations for the benefit of Club funds.
Following a brief interlude coffee/tea we had the pleasure of a talk by Roslyn Leslie. Roslyn is one of 290 volunteers for WILVOS in SE Queensland. She explained the WILVOS charter and their role in helping to rescue injured wildlife and return them safely back to their natural habitat. Roslyn showed us all the best techniques to rescue wildlife with her various first aid items carried in the car, including ice cream bucket, pouches, towel or sack and the use of a goon sack, which we all had a laugh.
The talk was very interesting and we all took away some tips. For anyone wanting to volunteer, its easy as you are just on call once a month.
Melinda gave a warm vote of thanks.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
VOLUNTEERING - A CAUTIONARY TALE
A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door.
The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunk stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
“Not a chance,” says the husband, “it is 3:00 in the morning!”
He slams the door and returns to bed.
“Who was that?” asked his wife.
“Just some drunk guy asking for a push,” he answers.
“Did you help him?” she asks.
“No, I did not, it’s 3am in the morning and it’s pouring rain out there!”
“Well, you have a short memory,” says his wife. “Can’t you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!"
“God loves drunk people too you know.”
The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pouring rain.
He calls out into the dark, “Hello, are you still there?”
“Yes,” comes back the answer.
“Do you still need a push?” calls out the husband.
“Yes, please!” comes the reply from the dark.
“Where are you?” asks the husband.
“Over here on the swing,” replied the drunk.
