Reports:
President: Drysdale are having their 40th Anniversary meeting on Thursday 14th May at the Italian Club at 6.30pm for 7.00p.m. The Board has resolved to cancel our normal Tuesday meeting 12/5/2015, so members can attend the Drysdale meeting.
- Members are asked to put forward suggestions for the Gold Coin donation recipients.
- The Community Support Register is being asked to provide names of people who may need our assistance as part of our Community program.
Market: As usual this was held on Easter Monday, 6/4/2015. There were 98 stallholders present and most reported they had a good day. The gate gold coin donation raised $1413.10. The Raffle was well supported too. The vests used at the market are required for those assisting in "Ride the Bellarine." Please give the one you are hiding to John Paton ASAP.
N.B. A new organizer will be needed for future Summer Markets!! So please step up if you can take on this very important task.
Foundation/Polio Plus: "Ride the Bellarine" will be held on 19th April.
Money raised through sponsorship of riders will be given to Polio Plus through the Foundation. Clubs who raise the most money will have recognition on next year's jersey.
Footy Tipping:
Social: The ANZAC Day Dawn Service Breakfast will be held at the Home Hardware building on Hodgson Street, as the Neighborhood Centre is moving.
Community: A shade house is to be built at the Surfside Primary School soon, with the help of Graeme Schmidt. The elderly citizens help program is still being organized.
The Centurion gold coin moneyboxes will be collected in mid May.
Guest Speaker: Steve McFadgen
Members present were updated with the method of administering CPR and the use of Public Access Defibrillators. Steve stressed that care must be taken when these are used but safeguards and modern design has eliminated many problems. Old CPR methods resulted in 1in10 survival rate, but with changes to the work place health and safety act and defibrillators in Ambulances survival rates have improved to 40% now.
DRSABCD (Danger, response, send for help, airway, breathing, circulation/compression and defibrillation) was explained and Steve emphasized this was to be used as the rule in cases where resuscitation appears necessary. Also stressed was the need to use protection when breathing during the procedure.
Currently the procedure consists of 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths with the aim of 100 compressions per minute.
A short film demonstrating CPR was shown followed by some practice.
Please note it is essential that apologies be recorded by 12noon on Mondays. Also the Club has to pay for members who have not apologized and not turned up!
Phone number is 0457 315 900. Thank You.
A Reminder… I would be very grateful if a hard copy of reports could be given to me at the meeting… My task would be made easier!
