President's Pen
Last Thursday's breakfast meeting was a great success with 25 people attending to listen to Dr Geoff Higgins present very successfully, "Coronavirus and the Prospects for an Effective Virus", for the layman. It was wonderful to have so many guests including Margie Harding, Paul Ensor, past member Dr Chris Dibden and Rotaractors Gregory White, Karagh Loring, Alana and her mother Liz Cuthbert.
Alana leaves for Canberra very shortly to continue her studies, commencing a Masters at ANU.
 
Paul Ensor coaches Bruce, John W. and myself in the game of croquet which we play every Tuesday evening at the South Terrace Croquet Club and he has expressed interest in joining Adelaide Light.
 
Tomorrow evening, Monday 18th is the first meeting for 2021 of the Presidents of Area 12 which includes seven inner city Rotary Clubs plus two Rotaract Clubs and the agenda includes discussing possible joint projects.
 
Please pop in your diary that the breakfast meeting on Thursday 22nd April will be replaced by a Area 12 Dinner meeting on Wednesday 21st April at the Adelaide Oval to celebrate the centenary of Rotary with the Adelaide Club and the other Area 12 clubs including the Rotaract Clubs, which should be a great evening with more details to follow.
 
Our next breakfast meeting is on Thursday 28th. January which will be followed by our monthly Board meeting.
Please remember to let me know by Tuesday 26th of your attendance, as last Thursday I had six surprise attendees. (which was a lovely surprise, but challenged the kitchen)
 
This Thursday 21st Jan. will be a Coffee Conversation at the White Picket in Dulwich from 9.30 am.
 
Best wishes,
Rob

Jokes Corner
One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. 

She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?'

Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.'

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Mummy, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?'
