Carly and Sarah’s Last Night in Australia
Jules spoke about their experience on Saturday night at the airport when two very excited girls were to head off on the exchange experience. They presented beautifully and Jules was so proud of them. There was great excitement and lots of tears until they were finally sent through the gates. Upon Carly’s arrival in Austria she saw lots of snow and experienced -20 degrees. Jules will keep in touch with the girls on facebook and keep members updated on their progress throughout the year.

JUST FOR LAUGHS
An old geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a medical clinic.
He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's clinic.   Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."
Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000.  So he went to   Dr. Geezer's clinic.

Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth.  Can you please help me ??"

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."
 
Dr. Young: "Aaagh !! -- "This is Gasoline!"
 
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back.  That will be $500."
 
Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
 
Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember   anything."
 
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
 
Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- that is Gasoline!"
 
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
 
Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
 
Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything!!!!"
 
Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so here's your $1000 back." (giving him a $10 bill)
 
Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!"
 
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back!  That will be $500."
 
Moral of story - Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer".
