Jan's Chat 29

Hello Daybreakers,

This week I announced Ian McKay’s Paul Harris Recognition + 7. I would like to once again, congratulate Ian, and thank him for his outstanding and ongoing support of the Rotary Foundation- making life better for people all over the world.

We also watched a video presentation from RI President Ian Riseley on the “Value of doing good”. Data entered into Club Central is essential to measure the hours and effort members put into Rotary Projects and Events. At the end of the year we will be able to see just how much good we have achieved in our community. Rotary International will be able to see the results of the 35,000 clubs worldwide. The real value of doing good not just in money raised, but the hours that dedicated members have spent volunteering. Hopefully at the end of the year we will look at these figures, take particular notice of them, and be even more proud of our clubs achievements.

I also read a letter from the Member for South West Coast, Roma Britnell, congratulating our club for it’s promised contribution to The Lookout Campaign. In her role on the Lookout steering committee, Sue also gave us an impromptu up-date of the campaign. The support from our community has been fantastic, and hopefully Government funding will be made available in the next State Budget.

I wished Gerard a Happy Birthday for last Sunday 14^th, Max for next Sunday 21^st, and Janine for Monday 15^th of January.

Rotary - Making a Difference

LAUGHTER, THE BEST MEDICINE

While I was working in the men's section of a department store, a woman asked me to help her choose a white dress shirt for her husband.

When I asked about his size, the woman looked stumped at first, then her face brightened. She held up her hands, forming a circle with her forefingers and thumbs.

"I don't know his size," she said, "but my hands fit perfectly around his neck."

Christmas - The tree was set up in the office where I work, but the lady assigned to decorate it was off sick. I couldn't let the chance go by. I went to the storeroom, got an inktank for the printer, and hung it on one branch.

So on the first day of Christmas, we had a cartridge in a bare tree.

A lawyer boarded an airplane with a box of frozen crabs and asked a blonde stewardess to take care of them for him. She took the box and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator.

He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying frozen, mentioning in an arrogant manner that he was a lawyer, and threatened what would happen to her if she let them thaw out.

Shortly before landing, she used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, "Would the lawyer who gave me the crabs, please raise your hand?"

Not one hand went up...so she took them home and ate them.

There are two really great lessons here:

1. Lawyers aren't as smart as they think they are; and,

2. Blondes aren't as dumb as most folks think!

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.

After catching his breath he ordered a banana split. The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"

"No," he replied, "arthritis.
