President's Pen
Today, I attended the Changeover of (now) PDG M-l Lees to DG Rajeev Kamineni.
 
 
Congratulations to PDG M-l for her diligence, leadership and support over the past year, and we wish DG Rajeev a great year of thoughtful leadership too. The event, which was held at the Adelaide Oval with a great view of the oval with the rain sweeping in, was attended by 180 guests.
 
Tomorrow is our breakfast meeting at 7.00am at the South Terrace Croquet Club.
 
My thanks to Rob McLennan who will be fulfilling the role of Acting President for a few weeks.
 
Best wishes and have a great week. Yvette, President

The Four Way Test

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

To have fun and engage interest from new members and friends as we use our strengths for a better world here and abroad - a welcoming, flexible group having fun doing hands-on activities for positive impact.

Jokes Corner
Larry was a photographer for the N.Y. Times, and was scheduled to meet a plane on the runway to take him on a job.
 
“Hit it,” said Larry climbing into the first plane he saw on the runway. The pilot took off, and was soon in the air.
 
“OK,” said Larry, “fly low over the trees over there, I want to take a few pictures.”
 
“What do you mean?” asked the pilot.
 
Larry looked at the pilot and answered a little annoyed, “I need to take some pictures for the N.Y. Times, so please…..”
 
There was a long pause, before the pilot asked in a shaky voice, “you mean you’re not my pilot instructor?”
