Community Service project - Message in a Bottle

 The idea behind this project is for the elderly people to keep detailed information on their medication in a bottle, which is kept in the refrigerator.A label is stuck to the refrigerator door indicating the bottle containing this vital information is inside. Should the ambulance services need to call, they will know that they can access this vital information quickly.  The scheme started in Scotland and was adopted by the Community Service committee as one of its projects for the 2005.  The Committee has been very active and has received support and promises of support from a range of local businesses and bodies, including The Cambrian News and the Town Council.  A full account and list of sponsors will appear in a future edition.After the meeting on May 3rd, members spent an hour or so sticking labels on to the plastic bottles and folding the ‘messages’ before inserting them into the bottles.  The ingenuity of Rotarians knows no bounds – a tool for inserting the messages was provided, thanks to Huw Spencer Lloyd, whose broom handle is now 18” shorter.
