AED Presented to Phil Hoey

Phil McIntosh come to the podium and did not introduce Phil Hoey , noting that his close association with Wollundry Rotary  through his Paramedic training of our members and support of the Gears and Beers and Food and Wine Festivals precluded any need for an introduction.  Phil MCIntosh of behalf of the club  presented  Phil with an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) to assist him in his AED training in the correct use of the defibrillator.  Up until now Phil was at a significant handicap in not having a unit set aside specifically for his training use.   Now he has one.  

Wollundry’s involvement in the Defib For Life Wagga initiative resulted in a partnership aiming to raise general public awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the importance of defibrillators, how simple and easy they are to use, and increase the number of defibrillators in the Wagga Wagga community.

AED Presented to Legacy

President Paul presented a second AED to the Wagga Wagga Legacy organisation.  Wollundry member and Legacy Treasurer Jim Gibson accepted the AED on behalf of Legacy.  

Yarri Signatures

John Egan came to the podium and talked about Yarri and Jacky Jacky,both Aboriginals who saved many people during the Gundagai flood.  There is a committee in Gundagai who are trying to establish posthumous awards to both heros.  They have started a petition and have a facebook page called Yarri , an Australian hero and they are asking people to sign the petition.  They  have three and a half thousand signatures and they need to have six thousand signatures.
