Also, for personal reasons, I have been unable to stack up guest speakers as I normally do. If I don't manage to sort things out this week I will let everyone know.
Here's a cartoon to cheer you up as Epiphany is just past.
Last Meeting
It was Holly Naylor talking to us about Nougat and she how started Holly's Nougat. I hope you ate lots of Nougat over the holiday period.
Next Week
Selwyn Klass will be talking to us about the Historic Documentary Film Society.
International - China
The Rotary Club of Beijing is focusing attention on a condition at birth called hypospadias, in which the opening for urination is lower in boys. In rural China, the need for specialised medical training, financial hardship, and social stigma pose challenges to identifying and treating the condition, which can cause serious health problems if left unaddressed. The club has funded more than 160 corrective surgeries since 2016 at a cost of about $1,400 each using proceeds from its annual ball, a Rotary Foundation global grant, and other sources. In April the club sent a vocational training team of two Rotarians and two urology surgeons from the Children’s Hospital of Hebei Province to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in the U.S. for three weeks of specialised instruction. Another 50 surgeries are expected in the near term, says club member Gilbert Van Kerckhove.
