MORGAN COMMUNITY CAR UPDATE<br />
6<br />
The community car has now been operating for almost two years thanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the generosity of our volunteer<br />
drivers.<br />
Unfortunately over that time we have lost a number of drivers for various reas<strong>on</strong>s, resulting in having <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> ask for<br />
every<strong>on</strong>e’s assistance <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> ensure the service remains viable.<br />
Despite advertising in the <strong>Morgan</strong> Matters we have been unable <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> recruit new drivers <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> fill the gaps.<br />
Acti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> assist the service and the volunteers are listed below.<br />
ALL bookings must be made through the coordina<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r, <strong>on</strong>ly by the client.<br />
Use the community car as a last resort, not the first easy opti<strong>on</strong>.<br />
Use Family members as a first preference when a medical appointment is required.<br />
Do not embarrass drivers by asking <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> do any shopping other than prescripti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
The car is <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be re-fuelled <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong>ce by the driver after the trip at <strong>Morgan</strong>.<br />
D<strong>on</strong>’t use the Community Car when you are able <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> use your own.<br />
Please remember that this service was started <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> assist those people who have no other way <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> attend medical<br />
appointments, and not <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be used when alternative transport is available.<br />
Remember also that the service is operated with volunteer drivers who very generously give of their time,<br />
even <strong>on</strong> weekends.<br />
WITHOUT OUR VOLUNTEER DRIVERS THERE IS NO COMMUNITY CAR.<br />
PLEASE CONSIDER THE ABOVE SUGGESTIONS TO ENSURE THE CONTINUATION OF THE SERVICE.<br />
MORGAN/CADELL MEDICAL TRANSPORT COMMITTEE<br />
“Magnificent Murray Divas”<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> Cadell Redhat Ladies<br />
Thank you “Princesses” Lee and Jo who organized a<br />
great “Touch of Pink Day” 31 st August. We appreciated<br />
the work the Terminus Hotel team put in <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> make us<br />
welcome, thank you Annie, Doug and Brigette. Special<br />
thanks also <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>: Barb for delicious pink cakes, Belinda<br />
for craft jewellery and all who d<strong>on</strong>ated prizes. Fun<br />
games kept every<strong>on</strong>e <strong>on</strong> their (pink) <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>es. We celebrated<br />
Birthdays for Sue James and Lee Mazzeo, and<br />
bid f<strong>on</strong>d farewell <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Nola Ward. We jokingly call her<br />
“Bar<strong>on</strong>ess Swinging Door” (she’s never home) but it’s<br />
no joke that we will miss w<strong>on</strong>derful Nola and her sense<br />
of fun, - not <strong>on</strong>ly at “Redhat” gatherings, but in our lives.<br />
Fortunately we’ve been privileged in making marvellous<br />
memories with Nola and Wack. We wish them happiness<br />
in their next adventure and trust whenever our<br />
paths cross, we will c<strong>on</strong>tinue our friendship at the drop<br />
of a “redhat”.<br />
