Hello Daybreakers,    
 
Interesting that only 1/3rd of our membership has bothered to respond to this year’s club survey. You may think it’s a little ho humm, but it’s in your interest to make your opinion known. Stop whinging, bitching and moaning and put what you really think on paper. This survey is not designed to make any changes to the club, it’s aimed at giving each of you a better experience within your club, so please get off your hands and return the survey asap.
 
Our guest speaker Kiara, gave us a little insight into the plight of homeless and/or couch surfers in Warrnambool. It may be considered a matter of choice, but family homes are no longer traditional. Often they are not a safe and clean environment. There are so many parents with alcohol and drug problems, mental health issues, not to mention the single parents with various partners coming and going. Kiara has been wise enough to recognise her situation, and strong enough to choose not to live in a dysfunctional household. I found it very interesting to listen to her story, and wish her all the very best in the future.
 
 
The club will be a tree planting with the Showgrounds Committee on Saturday the 21st of April, to finish what we started last year. A good time to be planting, as it will give the plants a little time to establish before winter, and come spring they should thrive.
 
Next week we will hear from Robert Dowell, the Principal at the Special Development School. It should be interesting, as the new building works are due to commence in April.  
 
Next Week : Continental Breakfast $17.00
Please send apologies through to Steve on 0457 926 657 by Midday on the Tuesday.

Please have a happy and safe Easter.

LAUGHTER, THE BEST MEDICINE

A city slicker was driving through the country when he spotted a horse
standing in a field.  He was quite taken with the animal and so pulled
over to ask the farmer if it was for sale.
 
“Afraid not, “ said the farmer
 
“I’ll give you a thousand dollars!” the city slicker promised
 
“I can’t sell you that horse.  He don’t look too good,” replied the farmer.
 
“I know horses, and he looks fine. I’ll give you two thousand!”
 
“Well, all right, if you want him so bad.
The next day, the man returned the horse, screaming that he had been
gypped.  “You sold me a blind horse!”
 
“Well, “ said the farmer, I told you he didn’t look too good.”

Jokes about unemployed people aren’t funny.
 
They just don’t work.
 
 
Welcome to plastic surgery addiction group, I see a lot new faces... I'm a bit disappointed
 
 
I did an experiment on the effects of alcohol on the human body.
The results were staggering!
 
 
He's the kind of a guy who can light up a room just by flicking a switch......

On a warm summer night, a young lady entered the butcher shop with startling news for the butcher: The baby in her arms was his.
 
Nonplussed, the butcher didn't know what to do, and eventually offered the only thing he thought he could - he offered to provide her with free meat until the boy was 16. She agreed.
 
He had been counting the years off on his calendar, and one day the teenager, who had been collecting the meat each week, came into the shop and said, "I'll be 16 tomorrow."
 
"I know," said the butcher with a smile, "I've been counting too, tell your mother, when you take this parcel of meat home, that it is the last free meat she'll get, and watch the expression on her face."
When the boy arrived home he told his mother.
 
The woman nodded and said, "Son, go back to the butcher and tell him I have also had free bread, free milk, and free groceries for the last 16 years and watch the expression on his face!"

During my check-up I asked the Doctor, "Do you think I'll live a long and healthy life then?"
He replied, "I doubt it some how. Mercury is in Uranus right now."
I said, "I don't go in for any of that astrology nonsense."
He replied, "Neither do I. My thermometer just broke."
