Rotary Club of Adelaide Light Mission Statement
To be recognised as the Service Club of Choice in the Eastern Precinct of Adelaide because we are a Friendly Breakfast Club that appeals to a broad range of busy people who want to make a difference to local and international communities.
At the urging of his doctor, an elderly man moved to the deepest countryside.
After settling in, he met a neighbour who was also an older man. ‘Say, is this really a healthy place?’
‘It sure is,’ the man replied. ‘When I first arrived here I couldn’t say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn’t have the strength to walk across a room, and I had to be lifted out of bed.’
‘That’s wonderful!’ said the newcomer. ‘How long have you been here?’
