Our much-loved member, Maurice Payes, passed away this week and will be sadly missed by us all.
 
Joining Rotary on 3 October 1975, Maurice held the roles of Director, Community Service, Corporal, Programme Convenor, Bulletin Editor, Sergeant-at-Arms, Vice President (Membership), V-P Club Service in the seven years before becoming President in 1986-87.  He then went onto be involved in the District, being part of the Rotary Foundation and Vocational Services committees, before becoming the District Governor’s Area Representative in 1990-91.  In 1993-94 he was involved in the District Rotary Quiz and in 1994-94 was the District Chair of the Emergency Box Committee.  He was also involved in the OZBO Days which ran for a few years and were a great money spinner.  He was also awarded his PHF in this year.

Pink Ribbon Devonshire Tea

Our Pink Ribbon Devonshire Tea was a great success and that was thanks to a huge team effort.  We raised $400.00 for this very worthy cause and had a lot of fun on the way.

Last Meeting: No formal meeting as the Committees' met.  However, it presented a good opportunity to watch a video instruction on using the defibrillator at Avalon Pavilion.  If you missed it, here it is HERE. There was a question raised about whether mouth-to-mouth might be helpful...
 
Here is an informal comment from Wellington Free Ambulance:
 
"We teach lay people to do compressions only. The reasons for this are:
  • most lay people are put off from doing CPR if they have to do mouth to mouth. It’s important that compressions are started straight away. 
  • most lay people can’t get adequate breaths in anyway using mouth-to-mouth and will keep trying to get the 2 proper breaths in at the expense of good chest compressions.
  • chest compressions only have been shown to be more effective at perfusion of the brain. This is compared to lay people using 30 compressions two breaths."
