The 2017-18 Rotary half year is almost through already with only two more meetings and then six months left after Xmas for it to be a great year for our Mosgiel rotary club.
If you have a bright idea for a new and worthwhile project for the club, suggest it on Monday evening on club night for discussion, and one of our project team managers may offer to run it.
I was sorry that I was absent on Monday, Pam and I were attending the funeral of one of Pam's fellow Innerwheel members one of the founding members of the Balclutha Innerwheel club and a close friend who had retired to Clyde.
You will all have received an email from the District Governor Elect Andrew Hamilton re. 'Rotary Know How' day.
Please pick a workshop option, fill in the enrollment form and return to John Barton.
For our special meeting for Christmas last Monday we all went to the Beach. No body got sand on their shoes and ventured. on to the Beach. So nobody had to be rescued
While we watched from the clubhouse the surfers were having a wonderful time.
Two campers were hiking in the forest when all of a sudden a bear jumps out and starts chasing them for there lives one camper stops and starts putting on his running shoes.What are you doing you can't outrun a bear.His friend replies i don't have to outrun the bear i only have to outrun you.

Forms and brochures have been emailed out to all clubs. You can download copies here:
Clubs are encouraged to start identifying participants and getting them to "save the date".
The programme will include a wide variety of speakers, activities and visits, focusing on community roles and responsibilities, volunteering, following dreams and broadening horizons. There will also be personal development activities around communication skills, relationships, physical wellbeing (prepare to sweat!), and a little bit of magic!
If you are free or have an association with the Kindergarten you may like to attend as a Rotarian next Monday afternoon for their 70th birthday party. There may be some of our members who actually were there at the beginning?

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game? The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap. Politely she declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa."
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00." This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer.
"Okay," says the lawyer," your turn." She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. No answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.00.
The blonde says, "Thank you," puts her head on the pillow and goes back to sleep. He woke her up again, “well what is the answer”? She reaches back into her bag and gives him a $5.00 note.
