Summary of Weekly Meeting
Date: Monday 19 September 2005
Thought of the Week:
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is every wasted."
– Aesop
Speaker: Martin Harris, Ophthalmologist & Senior Lecturer
Topic: Barnet 4 Sight (B4S is a trust fund used to purchase a 75K laser scanner to prepare for retina surgery @ the Barnet General. Age and diabetes are any retina’s greatest foes, laser surgery is the modern means of help. B4S was PP Eric F.’s charity. It could have been an expired Barnet Council canteen voucher, or simply his Oyster card, so admirably casual was he with it, but it was in fact a cheque for a whopping £10K, which Eric handed to Martin Harris during the vote of thanks.
