Autumn was in the air last night - and with our Table Topics theme, we ended up with "Four Seasons in One Night"!

During prepared speeches, we got to "See Jane Run", consider whether "All Roads Lead to Wellington and hear about Josh's life since joining Toastmasters seven years ago.

It was lovely to have some of our guests from our Open Meeting join us again, and be so keen to be become members. We pride ourselves on the friendly and welcoming environment we provide :)

My name is Anne Fitzpatrick. I had polio as a toddler in Methven in the early 1950's.

Last year I registered as a polio survivor with Polio NZ. We know there are about 9,000 polio survivors still alive in NZ. We want to get everyone we can registered so that we can build a case with Ministry of Health for getting some needs assessment and services for people who are now experiencing Late Effects of Polio (LEoP, also known as post polio syndrome- PPS).

So if you had polio or know someone who had polio please encourage them to register with Polio NZ. www.polio.org.nz...

I also joined Polio NZ as a member $17.50 per annum!) and have became active in the organisation.

As someone who is experiencing significant deterioration in my polio affected leg, and other new issues that are difficult to know the cause of, I have learnt an enormous amount about LEoP and the myriad of ways that it can impact on the polio survivor either at the time of the virus or much later in life.

So if you had polio, or are a family member, carer or clinician, or just care and want to know more, please consider joining Polio NZ.

Walking, cycling and scooting to school have many benefits for tamariki – exercise, independence, physical and mental health, decision making, risk assessment and road safety skills.
