It is a pity if you missed Rotary on Monday night as you missed getting your free Bee Card so you can ride the buses all day. You can go from Mosgiel to Brighton, Palmerston, Portobello, Port Chalmers and all places in between. Cath had a bag full of cards to give away but they will cost $5.00 in future.  Ask Kath on Monday she may still have some available or just search Bee card on line.

An Elderly Woman was walking her dog when a young man grabbed her handbag and ran away.
I asked if she was ok? 
She smiled and said that it is really no big deal as she carries her old purse with her when she is walking the dog to put her dog's poop in until she can get back home to dispose of it.
