Congratulations to the BBQ team for their work at Bunnings last Friday – what a change to be cooking sausages without the temperature being 35degrees plus!
President Elect Rob McLennan and his incoming board have issued invitations to our Changeover on Thursday 21 June 2018 at our normal meeting time of 7am for 7.15am start. Cost is $36 and payable in advance. Please show your support for Rob by attending and all partners and friends are most welcome. Anyone who has not received the changeover flyer please advise secretary John C.
Please check your diaries, as the Adelaide City Rotaract Club is looking for our support for their upcoming quiz night on Friday May 25th at 6pm at Wyatt Hall, Pultney Grammar School, South Tce. Cost is $17 per head or a table of 10 for $150 in support of The Welcome Centre. Featuring all the quiz night classics such as a raffle, coin slide, and of course plenty of questions. So spread the word; get your family, friends, and colleagues ready for an evening of quizzing fun. You can register on line or get another member to do it for you.
We congratulate our esteemed member, David Rowe, on being admitted as an Honorary Membership of the Kooyonga Golf Club. Under Club Rules, the Committee may admit to the category of Honorary member any person who in the unanimous assessment of the Committee has rendered distinguished service to the Club or to the community. “David Rowe has been admitted as an Honorary Member given his service to the Club for over 70+ years of membership, including as Captain, President and Committee member. David has been a very active Club member, both as an individual and as a strong supporter of Kooyonga’s social and pennant events.”

There were no two ways about it. Rosie was fat. Very fat.
“Martha”, said Rosie to her best friend, “it was terrible what happened yesterday after the birthday party. You know how half of the birthday cake was left over? Well, I knew Bob would be fuming at me for eating it, with my diet and all, but I couldn’t help myself, it started with just a small nibble and before I knew it the whole cake was gone!”
“Oh my!” clucked Martha, “was Bob really upset?”
“He never found out”, responded Rosie with a full double chin smile, “I just baked another cake and ate half of it!”
