Message from David Blackwell

On Wednesday 28th

March the Turramurra Bowling Club hosted a visit by our Member for Ku-ring-gai, Mr

Alister Henskens, SC MP.

Over the past few months the painters have been busy repainting the club inside and out. The outside

painting was enabled by the Community Building Partnership Grants program whose funds are provided by

the NSW Government. The basis of the visit was to view the finished works and to meet with the club

members.

During the visit he addressed the members briefly providing an opportunity for questions to be raised. He

stressed the importance of clubs such as the Turramurra Bowling Club to the surrounding community.

The Directors and membership appreciated the visit by Mr Alister Henskens, SC MP and his Senior

Electorate Officer David Garnsey who took time out from their busy schedules for the visit.

The painting was undertaken by SM Art Painting with colour co-ordination recommendations provided by

Ali Baker.

Bob Hawtree (winner) and Roy Gregory.

============================================

Shortly after take-off on an outbound evening Air Lingus flight from Dublin to Boston, the flight attendant

nervously made the following painful announcement in her lovely Irish brogue: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm

so very sorry, but there has been a terrible mix-up by our catering service.

I don't know how this has happened, but we have 103 passengers on board, and unfortunately, we received

only 40 dinner meals. I truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience." When the muttering of the

passengers had died down, she continued... "Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that

someone else can eat will receive free, unlimited drinks for the duration of our 5 hour flight. "

Her next announcement came about 2 hours later: "If anyone is hungry, we still have 40 dinners available."

Staff Grants 2018

Another inspiring Staff Grants evening was held during March at our Lindfield Community Bank branch.

Community spirit is always alive and present at these events where everyone comes together to share stores of their challenges

and successes in supporting our local community. It is overwhelming to hear about the generosity and willingness of people to

help others that is found within our local community organisations.

Staff member, Ibrahim Bilen, awarded his staff grant to the St Ives Football Club, and St Ives Football Club member, Damien

Erich’s response is a prime example of this spirit of generosity.

“St Ives Football Club tragically lost a senior player during a soccer match three years ago due to cardiac arrest, as a team, a

club and community we were all shocked by this. Since this tragic event we have worked hard to raise funds to purchase

defibrillators to safe guard our senior teams, our home playing grounds and anyone attending matches on these grounds.

Unfortunately, and extremely fortunate for a player, we had a second incident early last year when one of the machines had to be

used to save a second players life. This endorsed and validated the reason why we need to raise funds for these machines and at

the same time lobby other clubs to do the same.

As a club we have been able to provide all of our senior teams with machines and we are now in the process of identifying and

helping other clubs obtain defibrillators of their own where they otherwise would not have the resources to do so. The

Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank branches grant will go towards buying one more machine which will be installed in

the local area for the benefit of another club, so that they can cover other senior matches.”

Hearing stories such as this reinforces why we work so hard to fulfill our bank’s charter of giving back to the community. Since

we launched our first Community Bank branch in Turramurra 14 years ago, we are proud to have given back over $1.7 million to

the local community.

Another appreciative recipient at the Staff Grants evening was the Hornsby Rural Fire Brigade. Rob Green from the Hornsby RFS

had nothing but praise for the staff grants program and his dealings with Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank branches -

“Our recent purchases for Hornsby RFS, including automatic roller doors for when we are responding a call out have only been

possible due to grants and donations, therefore community donations such as that from the Turramurra and Lindfield Community

Bank branches are very important to us”

Rob continued- “The Community Bank branches have provided the perfect contrast to the appalling service we received from our

previous bank - as Treasurer I can’t think how they could have treated us better!”

Programs such as our Staff Grants are why the team at Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank branches are passionate about

their work. And, of course, we would not be able to continue this amazing work within the community if it wasn’t for the

customers who bank with us.

We like to think when you hear stories about how we differ from the other banks that you might ask yourself, much as Steve

Hopwood of ‘Hornsby Connect’, another grant recipient, did: “I’m asking myself why aren’t we banking with the Turramurra and

Lindfield Community Bank.”

So please spread the word about the Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank so we can continue to give back to the

community while providing the best services possible to our customers.

What a difference a century makes. The daily commute then and now.

Not Legoland- It’s a housing complex in Mexico

While on a road trip, an elderly couple, Jack and Debbie, stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch.

After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant, and resumed their trip.

When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table, and she didn't miss

them until they had been driving for about forty minutes.

By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to

turnaround, in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.

All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grumpy old man.

He fussed and complained, and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive.

The more he chided her, the more agitated he became.

He just wouldn't let up for a single minute. To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant.

As the woman got out of the car, and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to

her, While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card.

This coming week is National Senior Mental Health Week.

You can do YOUR part by remembering to contact at least one unstable Senior to show you care.

I have now done MY part.

Steve Jobs, CEO and maker of iPad...iPhone etc. died a billionaire.

Here are some of his last thoughts and words from the sickbed.

"I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However,

aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.. At this moment,

lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride

in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the

sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost –

health and life itself.

When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading –

"Book of Healthy Life".

Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.

Treasure love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends.

Treat yourself well. Cherish others.

As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30.00 watch...they both tell the same

time.

Whether we carry a $300 or $30.00 wallet/handbag, the amount of money inside is the same.

Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine the hangover is the same.

Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq. ft., loneliness is the same.

You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.

Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down, you go down with it.

Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with,

laugh with, talk with, have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven & earth...That is true

happiness!!!

Five Undeniable Facts of Life

1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy so when they grow up they will know the value of

things...not the price.

2. Best awarded words in London... "Eat your food as your medicines, otherwise you have to eat medicines as your

food."

3. The One who loves you will never leave you for another because even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she

will find one reason to hold on.

4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human...only a few really understand it.

5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, YOU have to manage!!!

Remember...If you just want to walk fast, walk alone, but if you want to walk far, walk together!
