This week we have a breakfast meeting on Thursday 23rd January 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 directly following the breakfast meeting.

Our friends from the Rotary Club of Eastwood will be joining us this week when John Bellman from SACA will be our guest speaker. He will be talking about his role in SACA and our summer of cricket.

At our Bunnings BBQ at Mile End on Tuesday we raised $960 – a great effort for a Tuesday. Our next BBQ is on Sunday 9th Feb. We expect that to be a very busy day so Di Lane will be looking for lots of volunteers to help out.

Jokes Corner

Posted by Di Lane on Jan 23, 2020

A truck driver is driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads “Low Bridge Ahead.”

Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under it. Cars are backed up for miles.

Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks around to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, “Got stuck, huh?”

The truck driver says, “No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas.”
