1. Denis Daniels and Gary Barnes have been working tirelessly to assist Garry Daniels to transition to his unit from Lark Ellen Aged Care. This was made more hopeful this week with the acquisition of an electric wheel chair and nursing support for Garry. We wish Garry the best in his continued adaption to his new circumstances..

2. Rob Guidi joined us in the celebration of today's game and the presentation of prizes to the winners. Rob looks well and is moving well despite his knee replacement in early January. His wife, Kathy, has done very well to support him in his recovery and his efforts to get back to work albeit only 3 days a week while continues his rehab on the other days.
