This Week Tony Giles talk to us about Maths with a Welsh Accent.

 I know very little about Tony Giles except that he privately tutors students in mathematics and he grew up Welsh speaking and only learnt English when he was at school.  I am sure this will result in a fascinating talk.  I just bumped into him at a restaurant that we both frequent.

I don't have  a photograph of him so you will have to have a cartoon instead.

Don't forget our Social Brunch from 9:30 on Saturday 23rd May at The Red Door Cafe 26 5th Avenue, Edenvale.... there is off street parking up an alleyway on the opposite side of the road to the Cafe.  I will put a poll on the Club WhatsApp Group 

Last Week

Claudette Medefindt gave a very interesting talk on hereditary eye diseases and how they are recognised, medically and some instances can be treated or certainly their affects ameliorated.

She spoke at some length on how sufferers can be assisted with the various aspects of deteriorating eye sight and how we should all be aware.

Next Week

I am trying to arrange a speaker at the moment.

My time is taken up with the move, and when is it going to happen, packing ....all of those things which is turning into a nightmare.  That's a bit of an exaggeration but it takes up all my time so I will have to be absent from Rotary Meetings and Secretarial Duties for a while and Knight & Day, of course.

When Yassine Harzallah was alerted to overcrowding in a primary school, he paid a visit and witnessed children studying on the floor and in corridors, with their notebooks on their knees. He snapped a photo, and “that image alone was enough to convince every member of our club that we had a responsibility to act,” says Harzallah, president of the Rotary Club of Ruspina Monastir. In December, the entire contingent visited the school, an hour drive from the club’s base in Monastir city. Members brought supplies, including hygiene products, cleaning items, a printer, a wheelbarrow, shovels, and hoes. A member architect drafted blueprints and watched over a local contractor who assembled a modular room off-site at a reduced cost. In January the structure, a new reading room, was delivered.
