Bowelscan - Its Poo Week!

Have you done your bowel scan test this year? Make sure you take the opportunity - available until 30th June 2020. Checking out the Bowelscan website - the following statistics are highlighted:

90% of bowel cancers are successfully treated if found early, but fewer than 40% are detected early.

This year 17,004 Australians will be told they have bowel cancer with 1,313 under the age of 50.

Last year our simple bowel cancer kit saved the lives of 240 Queenslanders.

Check out the full information - www.bowelscanqueensland.org.au #BowelscanQLD - and buy your kit NOW!

As the world responds to COVID-19 we must remember the children who miss out on life-saving vaccines that prevent dangerous diseases like polio and measles. This World Immunization Week join with Rotary International in the fight to #EndPolio because #VaccinesWork. endpolio.org

As most Cleveland members are aware, I am passionate about eradicating Polio. In the midst of the current pandemic, we must not forget to continue to work towards eradication. Photo and information above courtesy of

COVID-19 LATEST NEWS

An Australian-made ventilator that costs a tenth of the price of existing models has been brought to life in just four weeks.

The OzVader ventilator is the result of a partnership between engineers, Brisbane-based manufacturing company Olitek, intensive care specialists and the Medical Engineering Research Facility (MERF) at the

Queensland University of Technology (QUT).

KUDOS TO OUR FRONTLINE ANGELS

There are many people keeping our society going as best they can during this COVID-19 Pandemic. Nurses, doctors, paramedics, teachers, truck drivers, supermarket staff, bakers, restauranteurs/takeways, mechanics, tradies such as plumbers, electricians, delivery drivers... many many more that I have not listed.

Also the people who are caring for others, neighbours, friends and family. Many require help, many offering help. Please keep all of these "angels" in your thoughts as you spend your time at home, keeping safe from the virus. Remember physical distancing and smile and say hello when you pass someone else when you are out for exercise - you may be the first person they have spoken with that day! If you are in a position to help, please do so, if you need help, please let us know.

ANZAC DAY 2020

ANZAC Day is very different this year. We will not be erecting tents and attending the Dawn Service, however we can still pay our respects. Join the thousands of others at dawn who will be standing at the end of their driveways, on their balconys, candle or poppy in hand, then over a quiet coffee, tea or ale, listen to PP Col Sutccliffe at 9am or 4pm for an ANZAC Service.

THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD, AS WE THAT ARE LEFT GROW OLD;

AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN.

AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN, AND IN THE MORNING,

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

First Zoom meeting

Last night we had our first Zoom meeting, with 26 people in attendance - well done! Hope to see more of you next week (Robin is to be congratulated - he wore his bowtie - but did he have his pants on????). Maybe next week we can all put up a virtual background - let's see where in the world we have been.

Pres. Luis outlined some of the world wide statistics of Corona Virus, particularly in relation to Italy, where Gabriel is quarantined with his host family. Anna reports that Theri has moved to Judy Holland's home in Raby Bay, and is doing fine under the circumstances. No inbound or outbound students have had to return home, all safe and well with their respective hosts.

Ideas for activities, projects we can do while this crisis runs it's course - send you ideas to Luis, share them with fellow Rotarians. Send articles etc. to John Simpson for the Redlander, or to Elwyn or Shirley for the website.

Have a great week everyone. Now more than ever, practice Service Above Self.
