This week our guest speakers were Rishni & Anna from the Speech Pathology department at Ballarat Health Services. Rishni & Anna spoke about the inspiring Aphasia Choir for folk with speech difficulties following a stroke or head trauma. Whilst members of the choir may have trouble speaking, their singing abilities shine through.
If you would like to know more about the choir or offer financial assistance, contact Rishni or Anna at Ballarat Health Services.

Thanks to all our loyal followers who came, saw and purchased!
Our youngest 'member' James, was very impressed with Rod McErvale and his talk about his inovative business - Leroy Mac Designs!
Rod & his wife Rebecca produce baby garments and blankets made from pure merino wool. The sign of a good speaker is
when the meeting runs way past it's usual ending time! Well done Rod & Bec!

This week we had a very interesting vocational visit to Bond Homes Ballarat. David Rowe showed us around the factory where we could see how their kit homes are built and then transported to provide homes far and wide.
Congratulations Robert Short on 20 years service to the Freindly Club!

And to add to the excitement, one of our newer members David Stokes gave a very interesting 'what we didn't know about him' talk.

Lots of hard work goes in to this event, however the outcomes more than compensate for that. We expect to clear around $5700 which will go back into the community.
Thanks to all who supported us over the weekend.
During the week, Marg presented Jane Verberne with a certificate of appreciation for all her wonderful assistance with our very successful Trivia Night.
