MINUTES OF MEETING OF LAST MEETING
President Ric opened the meeting with 15 members present including our Guest Speaker Alan Wilson. Business matters raised were:
- The Historical Society are running a Music Muster from 22 to 28 September and are requesting help. A representative is to attend the project meeting.
- The initial budget for the Mens' Shed is $35,000. A grant will needed.
- MNC have gone ahead with the Affordable Housing Survey without consultation.
- Lionel reported that the calendar has been printed. 1,400 need to have price stickers attached; to be done at 27 August meeting.
- Jim reported that charges for Kennedi's fees and DIK had been paid.
- Rick V announced that MCP's new buildings plans will be provided on 27 September for community feedback.
- He also reported on his visit to Solomon Islands where a global grant had been used to install water connections, sanitation and solar powered vaccine refrigerators in schools.
- Chris flagged the need for volunteers for parking duties for the Real Food Festival on 13/14 September.
- He also noted that TS Centaur had been judged the best unit in the local flotilla.
Chris then put on his Sergeant's stripes and extorted money from the attendees.
Our Guest Speaker, PP Alan Wilson spoke about his 44 years working for ANZ, with much of that time as a mobile lender. He had spent 18 years overseas, mostly in PNG but also in the Solomons and Vanuatu. He showed a video of his time at the new branch in Wewak. This also showed how he got out and about into the local villages offering loans for houses, cars and business. It was fascinating to see him with a laptop explaining his services in very basic rural surroundings. His target was also to provide the villagers with basic financial education.
Apart from his bank work, he has also been very active in Rotary in PNG, including being a Past President. He has pioneered the provision of computers, books and magazines for schools. His latest project has been to provide laptops to Popondetta High School to replace ones that had been stolen.
Alan received a warm vote of thanks.

NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
SHORT MEDICAL EXAM
When I took the entrance exam for medical school, I was perplexed by this question:
"Rearrange the letters P-N-E-S-I to spell out the part of the human body that is most useful when erect."
Those who spelled SPINE became doctors.
The rest are in Parliament.
