Our May meeting for 2024 was held on Friday morning May 3rd 2024 at Beecroft Presbyterian Church Hall at 10:30 for a 10:45 start. The Investors Discussion group followed at 12:30pm after refreshments.

10:45am: General meeting: Stroke Foundation: Acting FAST to save a life

Lillian Chen is a volunteer Stroke-Safe speaker for the Stroke Foundation, a retired pharmacist and also a Stroke survivor. She is passionate about increasing the awareness of stroke because by acting FAST everyone can save a life, and gave a presentation along with her husband, followed by a Q&A session.

The Stroke Foundation recommends the F.A.S.T. test as an easy way to remember the most common signs of stroke. Using the F.A.S.T. test involves asking these simple questions:

• Face: Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
• Arms: Can they lift both arms?
• Speech: Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
• Time: Is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.

12:30pm: Finance Discussion Group: Liam Shorte’s End of Financial Year check list
