Rotary Clubs of Mount Barker,Kojunup and Manjimup
members and partners at the annual shared meeting at Alkoomi winery at Frankland.
This has been going on for some 30 years.
Elder statesmen have regaled us with tales of how the combined meeting
used to take place at the Rocky Gully pub
and it would often take the Manji boys the whole night to get home
with a stop over at Lake Muir.
No fancy tourist layovers in those days…
The last event on Thursday the 29th was a much more restrained event.

The Rotary Club of Thornlie
is proud to announce its sponsorship to Dementia Care Australia
of the production of an educational package
on the Spark of Life Approach.
Details about the package are:-

The new educational package on the Spark of Life Approach
will be a 6 DVD set with a handbook
providing education on the Spark of Life Approach.
The Spark of Life is a unique, systematic approach
to dementia that re-ignites the ‘spark’
creating overall well-being and improvement.

Who it is for
The educational package is designed for use by leaders
of health care organisations to support their inservice education for their staff.
Although the approach was initially developed for people with dementia,
the approach has universal appeal
and can also be used in aged care, community care, acute care,
mental health and for people with intellectual disabilities.
The material will be developed in such a way that it is simple
to read and easy to understand for staff members
whose first language is not English yet interesting enough for everyone to read.

Importance of the educational package
This package will enable organisations to educate their teams
on this internationally award winning approach,
which will assist in raising the standard of care
and quality of life for residents/clients,
provide support to families and lead to enhanced staff satisfaction.

Background to Spark of Life
This approach has universal application in that it enables everyone to think,
be and act in a way that will enrich the lives of other people.
Created by Jane Verity, the Spark of Life Approach
has been in operation since 1995.
The Club Program is a practical implementation of this approach
and was researched by Hilary Lee over a period of 7 years.
The insights and findings from this research enabled Jane and Hilary
to further develop the approach and led to the co-creation
of the culture enrichment program which involves everyone
from management and board members to all health care professionals,
personal carers, volunteers and family members.

Cost of production of package

Based on the cost of the last educational DVD,
which had the same structure,
we estimate that the total cost of production of this educational package
will be approximately $15,000.
This includes:
· · Filming
· · Editing
· · Writing, editing and layout of handbook
· · Graphic design for package and DVDs
The printing of the package will be an additional cost
and separate funding for this will be sought
or pre selling of copies to raise the funds needed.

Rotary Logo
Dementia Care Australia will be proud to add the Rotary logo
and acknowledge the Rotary Club of Thornlie on the educational package.

Thank you to all sponsors and supporters

The Kwinana Golf Club 50th Anniversary Charity Match
held recently was a resounding success with charity being the major winner.
Twenty Eight teams from north of Perth to Bunbury
competed in a game where the $20,000 prize money
donated by sponsors BP refinery Kwinana, BGC Group, Plan B Financial Services,
Town of Kwinana, CSBP, Landcorp and Madco
was presented to the Charity nominated by the winning teams.

First prize was won by Kerro’s Crusaders,
friends of the late Kerry Coates who passed away in 2007
after suffering from Motor Neurone Disease.
Team members were delighted to donate the prize money
towards the Motor Neurone Disease Assn.
Second prize fittingly went to the Kwinana Golf Club 50th Anniversary Committee
and third to the team from Abbottsolutely Timber of Kwinana.
Both of these teams chose the Rotary WA Cord Blood Bank Project as their charity.
The team representing the Town of Kwinana won the coveted NAGA award

The Rockingham Kwinana branch of Inner Wheel
provided the catering and golf club members
Murray Putland representing Ferngrove Wines
and Lou Rigo of Bibra Lake Food and Liquor assisted with providing drinks on the day.
All in all the match raised $14,000 for Motor Neurone Disease Assn
and about $15,000 for the Rotary WA Cord Blood Bank
adding to the $5.5 million it has raised to build,
equip and operate Western Australia’s first public Cord blood Bank.

On behalf of the Rotary WA Cord Blood bank Trust
I would like to thank the committee
and staff members of the golf club for their assistance
and all sponsors you for your support.

  4. Impotence may arise from these nonphysical factors:
    . When a patient uses the MUSE for the first time, it is generally advised to be used under the medical supervision.
    Theoretically erectile dysfunction can affect a man at any age; though the fact is
    that young men experience it less frequently than elder.
