This week we have a dinner meeting on Wednesday 4 September at 6.15 pm at the Stamford Plaza Hotel.  If you are unable to attend the meeting or will have guests attending, please email me at kmball@jelkamain.com or text me on 0402853929 by Wednesday lunchtime so that I can advise the Stamford Plaza about numbers attending.
 
Fred Field is back from holidays so in future please contact Fred for any Club administration issues.  
 
At Wednesday’s meeting we will be discussing possible projects and volunteering activities that the Club can undertake over the 2019-20 Rotary year. Projects will need to be costed (approximately) so that projects can be prioritised, and club funds allocated accordingly. Julie Campbell (Community Services) has emailed everyone a list of possible projects to discuss and is asking members to see if there is a particular project they would like to champion.  Other projects that members would like to support can still be considered. Angus Tuck (International) is keen to have more members participate in the Club’s international projects.  
 
With many of the regular BBQ participants away on holiday in September, Di Lane is still looking for volunteers for the 2pm – 5pm shift for our next Bunnings BBQ on Monday 16 September at Mile End.

The Four Way Test
Posted by Richard Jarrett on Sep 04, 2018

The Four Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do:

  1. Is it the Truth?
  2. Is it Fair to all concerned?
  3. Will it build Goodwill and better Friendships?
  4. Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Affirmation

United in the spirit of Service we value truth, fairness and friendship; and we welcome the opportunity that Rotary gives us to contribute our talents and resources in support of others.

 

Rotary Club of Adelaide Light Mission Statement

Jokes Corner

Aphorisms

Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks.

Stroke a cat and you will have a permanent job.

No one has more driving ambition than the teenage boy who wants to buy a car.

No one ever says "It's only a game" when their team is winning.

I've reached the age where 'happy hour' is a nap.

The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.

In about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Cadillac than in a Ford

Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones that mind don't matter.

Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
