TeeBeeCee Gazette FROM THE CHAIRMAN NOVEMBER 2013

1 SPONSORSHIP

Our club has derived great benefit over many, many years from the high level of sponsorship that we receive from local businesses. It’s true to say that we would have to operate quite differently if we weren’t the recipient of thousands of dollars in sponsorship - annually.

For some 15 years we had the unswerving dedication of Alan Wilson to raise sponsorship dollars for the club and more recently we have the time and skills necessary for this task being donated by Roger Bromley. I know you will agree that it’s a big job and for us, a most important one. As you might expect, it isn’t getting easier. Nowadays there’s unprecedented demand for handouts from sponsors by non-profit entities such as our own. Each year it just gets that bit harder to justify sponsorship. All sponsors are naturally looking for a return on their investment.

One way that each and every one of us can help in the process of attracting and maintaining sponsors is obviously to give our sponsors all the possible help we can when it comes to buying goods or services. My belief is that most of us do that now in order to support our sponsors as best we possibly can.

But there’s another, equally important way that we can demonstrate our support for these businesses and that is simply to verbally thank them for their sponsorship. If you are running a business and a customer says “thank you for sponsoring our bowling club” it carries enormous benefit for us because all too often the business itself doesn’t necessarily know who they’re dealing with. But if we can show a local business that their sponsorship dollars are working for them then we’ve created a win-win situation. Each time you do this you also make it that much easier for that sponsor to sign-up and support us again next year.

So, please take the opportunity, whenever appropriate, to verbally thank our sponsors.

THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS

On Sunday, 8th December all of our volunteers and their partners are warmly invited to join in a free game of bowls followed by a finger-food lunch. Bowls to commence at 10:00 and lunch to commence at 12:30. This is the Board’s way of saying thank you to our many volunteers for the countless hours that they give to the club. There’s a nomination sheet for this purpose on the bench.

♦ Congratulations to David Blackwell on becoming the 2013 Minor Singles Champion after defeating Cec Thomson in an exciting final 31/26.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT – LADIES CLUB

Another Friends Day has come and gone with many visitors from other clubs joining us for the day.

As always lots of laughter and chatter sharing a lovely lunch.

It was a very special day this year with Denise and Gina from the Turramurra Community Bank joining in the days festivities AND playing bowls.They both had a great day enjoying every

minute on the green as well as lunch.

It was good to have Alison Walcot’s twin sister Rosanne here again from England sharing her time with us on the green,...and us seeing double.

Congratulations to Bev Lowe Jeanette Staniland and Sue Hamilton for winning the ladies club triples

.

Congratulations to Chris Montgomery for winning the ladies club minor singles.

Congratulations to Jenny Wallis for being selected by the district to play in zones15 &16 versus 13 &14 and they won...well done Jenny.

Congratulations to Jeanette Staniland who has been appointed Chairman of district social. We are so lucky to have so many ladies prepared to give of their time representing our club on the district Executive and committees

Please don't forget to bring gifts, unwrapped for the reverse Christmas Tree, both men and ladies as well as children's.

We have received a letter from the Salvos this year and they are desperate, so let's make a HUGE effort as they have also had to cope with the bush fires and are struggling for Christmas funds.

Also they will pick them up from us if we do it before the last week which allows them to deliver them for Christmas and saves our ladies just a little.

PRESIDENT’S THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH

When placing the mat on the bank make sure the felt / green side is UP and when putting it back on the green DONT throw / chuck it, PLACE it. Practice before the new green comes in please. Have a safe, happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.

7 EAT LOTS OF SWEET POTATOES - QUITE INTERESTING INDEED!

I

t's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body! God's Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23%

sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs.

Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries

Oranges , Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
