The Adelaide Rotary Club are organizing a wine lunch at the Caledonian Hotel North Adelaide.
- Heartland wine lunch Sunday August 20th 12.00 for 12.30
The cost is $90 a head of which each club makes $20 from each ticket sold.
There are generally up to 6 courses and 12 different wines served. and there is also an opportunity to purchase wines at very good savings from which each club also gets a small return.
2. Calperum and Riseley Forest
Since the launch of the RISELEY FOREST a month ago, seven Clubs within D9500 / D9520 have already made a commitment to honour Ian Riseley's challenge to plant a tree for every Rotarian in the world. For just $5 per Rotarian in your Club you can be part of the RISELEY FOREST @ CALPERUM.
We already have commitment from just seven Clubs to plant 900 trees, with some Clubs seeking to plant 5 or more trees for every member.
It is now the aim of the Calperum Committee to be able to communicate to incoming RI President that our two Districts have already exceeded his target before the end of June this year, enabling him to promote our achievement as he travels around the world. What better way would there be to promote Rotary Australia's biggest environmental project on the world stage.
Clubs are encouraged to embrace the concept, and return their commitment sheet to the Calperum Committee on or before 20th June.
Thank you in anticipation
Calperum Committee

Rotary Club of Adelaide Light Mission Statement
To be recognised as the Service Club of Choice in the Eastern Precinct of Adelaide because we are a Friendly Breakfast Club that appeals to a broad range of busy people who want to make a difference to local and international communities.
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to the elderly, I used to take my 4- year-old daughter on my rounds The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her.
One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass.
As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit."
"And why not, darling?"
"You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.."
