Posted by Katrina Ball on Nov 26, 2019
This week we have a breakfast meeting on Thursday 28 November at 7.15 am at the Stamford Plaza Hotel.  If you are unable to attend the meeting or will have guests attending, please email Fred Field at fieldfro9@adam.com.au or email me at kmball@jelkamain.com or text me on 0402853029 by Wednesday lunchtime so that we can advise the Stamford Plaza about numbers attending.  There will be a Board meeting immediately following the meeting.
 
This week we will focus on our Rotary projects and planning for 2020 ahead of our Annual General Meeting. John Campbell will also provide an update on the work of Australian Rotary Health, which he is the Chair in South Australia.
 
There will be no evening meeting in December. Instead, we will be joining with the Adelaide Rotaract Club on Friday 6 December for a game of darts for our annual ‘teapot’ challenge event at the Arab Steed Hotel.
 
The Annual General Meeting of the Club will be held on Thursday 12 December. This will also be the last meeting for the year.  Nominations are open for all positions on the Board.  So far, nominations have been received from Di Lane for the position of Secretary and from Rob McLennan for the position of Fundraising. Please send me nominations for any of the positions on the Board.  Board positions are listed on the side of the newsletter.

Jokes Corner
Posted by Di Lane on Nov 28, 2019

The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen.

 

After several minutes, the older worker had had enough. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back."

 

"You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got."

 

The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right. Get in."
