The length & breadth we go to to get a good speaker.  For this weeks' speaker we ventured as far as Geelong West for Zoe Waters. Zoe is Geelong  Hospital's (AKA Barwon Health AKA University Hospital) Volunteer Co-ordinator. She has a Social Work background, and is clearly skilled in marketing & promotion.  She's been working with Jim Marendaz from Geelong West Rotary, to provide Patient Vehicle Transport in the Geelong region, and with our assistance, the service will be expanded deeper into the Surf Coast.
Zoe spoke of the service, skills & hours that hundreds of Volunteers put in for the hospital.  
I would also like to mention one particular Volunteer who stood out when I was a Nurse there some years ago.  This beautifully groomed, high heeled lady seemed to always be coming in or out of a lift, talking to patients, couriering to every corner of the building. Always smiling & gracious.  As it turned out, she was the Mum, Cath, of our own, Greg Plumridge.
