A little boy had a choking episode that required urgent medical attention. An ex-paramedic was able to assist and a call to 000 brought an ambulance to the scene within a few minutes. We believe the outcome to be favourable but are awaiting confirmation. Many thanks to all the Rotarians who were able to assist.

As well as ourselves there were representatives from the Rotary clubs of Cheltenham, Sandringham, and Dingley. Lisa Alexander gave an interesting explanation on how she got into millinery and Greg Ross gave an inspirational talk on the need for the Lift the Lid campaign. Cheques to the total value of $7,740 were presented to Australian Rotary Health, via Greg. And we came away with many of the prizes on offer. Some photos of the event are included on page 3. We followed up by making the Lift the Lid campaign a focus of the Farmers Market on Saturday (photos on page 4).
