President's Message

Posted by Don Tindale on Nov 24, 2016

President’s Pen 23^rd November 2016

There was no guest speaker at the Club at last meeting. Instead, we had a Club planning meeting where we discussed the changes to the Rotary International constitution. Club members were then asked to accept the changes and apply them to the Club’s own constitution to ensure that we comply with Rotary’s aims and code of behavior.

President Don then gave a short presentation on the structure and organisation of the Club and the responsibilities of the various Board and Club members.

Committee Leaders then gave a quick summary of the progress of their various projects, including related fundraising activities. This was followed by an announcement of the nominations for Club Board and leadership positions for the 2017/18 year, and a request for any further nominations to be submitted as soon as possible, so that members could vote on these at the next planning meeting in December.

President’s thought for the week: “The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” Thomas Jefferson

Jokes Corner

Posted by Di Lane on Nov 24, 2016

Motherhood

Being a parent changes everything. But being a parent also changes with each baby. Here are some of the ways having a second and third child is different from having your first.

Your Clothes:-

1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy.

2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.

3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes.

Flight

My seatmate on a flight was a woman. Ever the charmer, I asked, “Does the airline charge you extra for sitting next to good-looking men?”

“Yes,” she said, “but I wasn’t willing to pay.”
