President's Pen
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas, holiday and New Year.
 
Last Thursday was our first meeting for the year at the South Terrace Croquet Club. We had no official speaker, but we were able to enjoy the camaraderie of our members and caught up with what they’d been doing for the past couple of weeks during our non-meeting time.
 
January is a time when many of our members travel around Australia or overseas attending special occasions (like a wedding in Malaysia) or touring in New Zealand to name just two. We hope they enjoy their time with friends and family while absorbing the wonderful culture of the various countries.
 
Our past Member, Terry Rodoni's mother, Nancy sadly passed away on the 5th of January. Our condolences go to Terry and family.
 
This coming Thursday is Coffee Catch-up at the White Picket Café. See you there.
 
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.

New Years One Liners
 
I raised my left leg before the ball dropped so I could start the New Year off on the right foot.
 
In 2025, may all your troubles last as long as your New Year resolutions.
 
Dear God, my prayer for 2025 is a FAT bank account and a THIN body. Please don't mix it up like you did this year.
 
Remember you can reset your resolutions on January 14th (Orthodox New Year) and January 29th (Chinese New Year). After that, even I can't help you.
 
Many things can be preserved in alcohol on New Years Eve. DIGNITY is not one of them.
 
Just heard that in 2025 there will be a new device that can turn thoughts into speech. I have had that for years, it's called alcohol.
 
My New Years Resolution is to break my New Years Resolutions....That way I succeed at something!
 
Keep the smile, Leave the tear, Hold the laugh, Leave the pain, Think of joy, Forget the fear. Be joyous, cause its a New Year.
