Posted by Katrina Ball on Mar 17, 2020

There is no formal meeting this week. However, there will be a ‘coffee conversation’ catch up this Thursday 19^th March at the White Picket Fence café at 9.30am at 10 Stuart Road Dulwich.

Our next breakfast meeting is scheduled to be on Thursday 26^th March at 7.15 am at the Stamford Plaza Hotel followed by a Board meeting.

Yvette Reade has advised me that District Governor, Jane Owens will be providing some information to Club Presidents later this week in relation to the implications of the spreading of the coronavirus for Rotary meetings and activities in line with advice she has received from Rotary insurers.

Please note that the working bee to weed the established Catherine House garden that was scheduled for this Saturday 21 March has been CANCELLED. Given issues around coronavirus prevention practices the Manager at the Catherine House premises would prefer that the weeding be done during the week when she is in attendance.

Jokes Corner

Posted by Di Lane on Mar 19, 2020

A frustrated father told a work colleague: “When I was a youngster, I was disciplined by being sent to my room without supper. But in my son’s room, he has his own colour TV, computer, games console, cell phone and CD player.”

“So what do you do?”

The father replied: “I send him to my room!”
