MINUTES OF MEETING OF LAST MEETING
Meeting opened by President Ric followed by loyal toast, grace and welcome to Brian Turner (PP), Ric’s wife Jacinta and guest speaker Melissa Borich.
Lionel T gave report on the calendar progress and change of Bowel Scan kit suppliers, unfortunately resulting in a dearer kit.
Chris B spoke on parking with Real Food Festival. Roster to be sent out. Although by the time this goes to print, RFF will have been and gone.
Sergeant Chris B gave an absolutely scintillating session with usual wonderful wit and brilliance (wonder if anyone actually reads/believes this).
Jim Atkinson introduced Guest speaker Melissa.
Melissa explained that the catalyst for change to healthier lifestyle was husband Kevin’s diagnosis of a very aggressive cancer.
They researched as much as they could and treated the opportunity to help with Kevin’s treatment as a challenge rather than a sentence.
Kevin and Melissa adopted a much healthier lifestyle including change of diet with more juicing and cooking with the ingredients as close to the natural source as possible. They chose food with non-additives and no trans-fats. Any meat had to be free range, good quality and lean.
Exercise of at least 30 minutes per day (walking, yoga), meditation, breathing control, moderate amount of sunshine for Vitamin D and the ability to remain positive and happy. They resolved to keep active as well as set aside time for relaxation.
Melissa believes the ideal lifestyle accepts the mind, body and spirit. Breathing control is essential for controlling stress levels, weight control and mental stimulation. Vitamin D can come from salmon, fatty acids and flax seed oils as well as sunlight.
Melissa summed it up as daily exercise, choose food wisely, sunshine and be happy.
Chris B thanked Melissa acknowledging her as a living example of her lifestyle and couldn’t help himself in promoting the RSL yoga classes Monday mornings at 0930h.
Meeting closed by President Ric and we all went home.

NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
A CAUTIONARY TALE ABOUT PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
A woman asks her husband at breakfast time, "Would you like some bacon and eggs, a slice of toast, and maybe some grapefruit juice and coffee?"
He declines. "Thanks for asking, but, I'm not hungry right now. It's this Viagra," he says. "It's really taken the edge off my appetite."
At lunchtime, she asks him if he'd like something. "How about a bowl of soup, homemade muffins, or a cheese sandwich?"
He declines. "The Viagra," he says, "really trashes my desire for food."
Come dinner time, she asks if he wants anything to eat. "Would you like a juicy rib eye steak and some scrumptious apple pie? Or maybe a rotisserie chicken or tasty stir fry?"
He declines again. "No," he says, "it's got to be the Viagra. I'm still not hungry."
"Well," she says, "Would you mind letting me up? I'm starving."
