Newsletter for the Rotary Club of Western Endeavour - Issue No.: 404 Issue Date: 29 Aug, 2010

The documentary this week about Ben Cousins was followed up with much discussion in the media, workplace and in our homes about Ben, his career and his life choices.   One outcome it certainly achieved was raising the community awareness around addictions and the impact it has on family and friends.   The road to recovery is certainly long and hard.

One of the advantages of supporting several football teams is that it is rare to have a weekend that is soured by a poor result by your team.... Well done the Dockers!

I really enjoyed to hear more about some of the proposed community services projects at the committee meeting this week.   For the gardening projects I may leave some of that opportunity for other club members as there is a reason I outsource my own gardening.  My mother is still horrified that I sprayed the rose bushes with weed spray and was surprised when they started dying.  Ronald McDonald house meals are probably more aligned to my capabilities.

Looking forward to see you all on Tuesday for the membership forum.
