Serving the Community since 1985

Presidents Report Thanks everyone for being so kind for my first

meeting, I feel as if I still had the training wheels on,

or at least I can use that excuse for the next week,

and then after that, no more!

Again a busy week with the visit from Warren

Fricke, the Assistant District Governor, to talk with

us prior to David Tolstrups visit on the 23 July. It

was great to talk to Warren and get his view on all

things Rotary. Thanks for coming Warren and

thanks to Ken, James, Roy and Malcolm for being

there to fill in the gaps.

For those who werent there on Thursday we had

an interesting talk on retirement from Bruce Man-

ners; however I cant help reflecting that everyone

in our club hasnt retired from life, and that we all do

almost everything he recommended. The only

thing might be the vegetarianism and moderation in

red wine. It was a good week to have vegetarians

along as we had some of the biggest pieces of

meat I have seen at VGC, so they knew what they

were missing.

I brought the District Directories along and distribut-

ed them at the meeting, Ill be bringing them along

again next week, if you would like one please let

me know.

We have had an approach from the Cancer

Council Victoria to staff a stall for Daffodil Day at

the Concourse on Friday the 28 August and Sat-

urday 29 August. The Beaumaris Lions who

have staffed the stall for many years can no long-

er do it. If we can do this we have said that we

will staff the stall from 10 am to 4 pm on the Fri-

day and 10 am to 1 pm on the Saturday.

Daffodil Day is the flagship fundraising event for

the Cancer Council across Australia, and we

would sell merchandise, take donations and once

again get us out there with the community. We

would of course wear our Rotary shirts, and pub-

licize Rotary. We already have expressions of

interest for Friday, if anyone would like to commit

to a short time on the Saturday then we would be

able to support this very worthwhile cause.

Please let Chris DArcy know if you or your part-

ner can help. I think it would be a rare person

who hadnt had a friend or family member

touched by cancer.

Dates for the Diary for this month, apart from

our Thursday meetings are:

Wednesday 8 July, Board meeting at The

Buckingham, 6 pm

Saturday 11 July, Farmers Market

Thursday 23 July, the District Governors

David Tolstrups visit, accompanied by his wife

Alison Tolstrup

Thursday 30 July, Fellowship night at La Cu-

cina, Concourse

Friday 31 July, District Membership seminar

Megan, Lynda and I will be going, others are

welcome.

Thanks everyone, the gift of your time and

commitment makes such a great club.

TC TCC JIGM JJ KJJC Bruce who has at various times been a profes-sional fisherman, pastor (in Broken Hill) and editor for a church newspaper told of his con-cern three years ago re his impending retire-ment. Having only a generic idea of the needs and issues Bruce decided to research the mat-ter. So much so that his focus on the topic manifest as a goal to write a book on the sub-ject outlining the findings of his research stud-ies.

The overview of his research can be summa-rized simply as;

MONEY MATTERS HEALTH MATTERS MORE

ATTITUDE MATTERS MOST

Looking at each in turn; Money Matters Retirement countdown 15 years: Develop a financial plan 3-5 years: Pay off debt 1 year: set up income stream 3 months: Sign up with Centrelink 1. Develop a financial plan (advisor) 2. Seek investment opportunities 3. Keep retirement in mind Retirement planner

Health Matters More Five Health Tips 1. Eat healthy (plant-based)

The World Cancer Research Fund Report

recommends a plant-based diet, emphasiz-ing vegetables, fruits, legumes and grains. It recommends, to help avoid cancer, not to eat any processed meat, and you should not consume more than 300 grams of red meat a week.

2. Exercise and move

3. Live healthy emotionally

4. Listen to your doctor 5. Check your family history

I suggest to people if they only want to prepare themselves by focusing on a single area of retirement then they should focus on their health because a lot of other things will follow. Joanne Earle, UNSW

Attitude Matters Most Martin Seligman is the inventor of positive psy-chology and a major figure in the wellbeing movement in his book Flourish postulates PERMA as the key to wellbeing, i.e.;

Positive emotion Engagement Relationships Meaning Achievement

Positive thinkers will look at the situation real-istically, search for ways that they can improve the situation, and try to learn from their experi-ences. Kendra Cherry (psychologist) The Oxford, Ohio, study (longitudinal study of 1100 people) found that those with a positive attitude to ageing lived 7+ years longer. See more at;
