Posted by Katrina Ball on Feb 18, 2020

There is no formal meeting this week. However, there will be a ‘coffee conversation’ catch up this Thursday 20^th February at the White Picket Fence café at 9.30am at 10 Stuart Road Dulwich. Our next breakfast meeting will be on Thursday 27th February at 7.15 am at the Stamford Plaza Hotel.

Our District Governor, Jane Owens, has contacted me to remind the Club of the importance of appointing a President-Elect so that our Club can be represented at the Training Seminar for Presidents-Elect, hosted by District Governor Elect, David Jones, on 14^th and 15^th March, at St Michaels College, Henley Beach.

This week, I will be attending the quarterly meeting of the Presidents of the Group 1 Adelaide City Clubs. Margie Steffens will also attend the meeting to brief Presidents on the Community Outreach Dental Program and to discuss how this service, which has been providing care for some of Adelaide’s most marginalized and vulnerable residents since 2011, can be successfully maintained into the future.

Our next fundraiser will be directing traffic for parking at the Superloop Car Race, on 22 and 23 February. In the past this has been an important fundraiser for the Club. With fine weather forecast for the weekend we are hopeful that the event will be well attended with lots of demand for carparking spaces.

Jokes Corner

Posted by Di Lane on Feb 20, 2020

A scientist gets on a train to go to New York. His cabin also has a poor farmer in it.

To pass the time the scientist decides to play a game with the guy. "I will ask you a question and if you get it wrong, you have to pay me 1 dollar. Then you ask me a question, and if I get it wrong, you get 10 dollars. You ask me a question first."

The farmer thinks for a while. "I know. What has three legs, takes 10 hours to climb up a palm tree, and 10 seconds to get back down?"

The scientist is confused and thinks long and hard about the question. Finally, the train ride is coming to an end. As it pulls into the station, the scientist takes out 10 dollars and gives it to the farmer. "I don't know. What has 3 legs, takes 10 hours to get up a palm tree and 10 seconds to get back down?"

The farmer takes the 10 dollars and puts it into his pocket. He then takes out 1 dollar and hands it to the scientist. "I don't know."
