AUGUST SPEAKER
Frank Ryan:
Frank Ryan is an experienced medical consultant and bestselling writer. He has written several bestselling books on diets and healthy eating – and will attempt to answer your questions and worries about diet. He pioneered the omega-3 revolution and will talk about this, including advice on omega-3s in pregnancy, kids and how to keep sharp mentally in our day-to-day lives as well as reduce the risk of heart attacks and mental decline. He is also an expert on viruses and their relationships with people – which is relevant in the time of pandemic flu. But he also has a lighter side, which takes him off to the beaches of Fuerteventura, when he lets his hair down, samples more than he should of the local20vino and a cigar or two, and writes popular fiction. He believes that we all have some writing ability and will suggest ways in which we can use it.
He will bring some books at discounted prices, which will include his Brain Food Diet, which has comprehensive simple advice for healthy eating.
You will find out more about his non-fiction at www.fprbooks.com and his fiction at www.swiftpublishers.com
FWI PRESIDENT AND COMMITTEE
As the WI constitution decrees, all committee members who have been on the committee for three years (or more) have to stand down. Therefore at the end of September Joanna and myself will be stepping down as the co-presidents and there will also be a number of vacancies on the committee to fill. Some committee members would like to stay on but this is also a time for new blood and your chance to be involved in the running of the FWI. We will be looking for a committee of 7 people for roles including: President, Treasurer, Membership, Events, IT and Speaker Co-ordinator
We will be asking for nominations by the August meeting and then there will be a chance for every FWI member to have a say in who they want as the President/on the committee with voting taking place at the September meeting.
If this is something you would like to be involved in/have any questions about please email fulhamwi@gmail.com … it’s a fantastic opportunity and I have certainly enjoyed my time on the committee.
EVENTS
• FWI Book Club Monday 21st Sept 7.30 at the Peterbrough - The Time Travelers Wife - Audrey Niffengger
'This is the extraordinary love story of Clare and Henry who met when Clare was six and Henry thirty six, were married when Clare was twenty two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry suffers from a rare condition where his genetic clock periodically resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into the past or future. In the face of this force they can neither prevent nor control, Henry and Clare's struggle to lead normals lives is both intensely moving and entirely unforgettable'
• FWI Midsummer Masquerade Ball – Saturday, October 17 at the University Women's Club
Tickets are now on sale and available from the committee or by emailing fulhamwi@gmail.com at £50.00 per person. Please support this annual fundraising event by inviting friends, family, work colleagues and flatmates. We really need to sell all 140 tickets to make it a success.
See you in August,
Fulham WI committee xx
