LUNCH MEETING

Our guest speaker at lunch today was Angie Wild, Community Development Co-Ordinator, Alzheimer's Society. She enlightened members on the work of the society which is appended below.

We also welcomed Rotarian Austin Polding and his wife Barbara. Austin is a long term carer for his wife and has had to take long term leave of absence to care for her, so the subject was particularly pertinent.
