MEMBER HIGHLIGHTS
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Last Sunday was World Hearing Day. This is a WHO project raising awareness of the importance of protecting our hearing and helping those who can't hear. It's time to remember that we can help by collecting used hearing aids and giving them to Elaine Saunders or Jo in the Rotary office. These will be provided free to people who have no formal access to hearing aids through Recycled Sound: https://www.who.int/deafness/world-hearing-day/2019/en/
