Spring 2016

Spring is just round the corner and I can’t wait
for those long, hot summers days once more.
This last month has been very cold, but thanks
to a variety of merino apparel I managed to stay
pretty warm.

We have a full issue this month with a variety of topics. First we have
the President’s report. Dianne has been busy with all sorts of things
and you can read about this further down.

We also have a report on Arthritis Educator, Robyn Tuhoy's
presentation to our group, about stress and pain management. We
all enjoyed what Robyn had to tell us and hope now to put these
ideas into practice.

There are photos from our members around the country. See what
they are up to - you can send us yours too. Also there is a good
report on managing Raynaud’s. You will get some ideas and tips on
staying warm and reducing the effects of this condition. A worthy
read.

A sad farewell to Val Smith, a founding member of the Wellington
group, who sadly passed away recently. She is greatly missed.

A piece of good news for those of you with dry eye. You can read
about the latest treatment for this. It's based in the lower South
Island

Enjoy your read. Don’t forget to send me your pictures, news, ideas,
questions, crafts and recipes so we can all enjoy..
