President's Pen
Not much to report this week except for the safe return of John and Rob from their holidays overseas. We'll have to catch up with their adventures at our meeting on Thursday morning from 7.00am at the South Terrace Croquet Club.
 
Last Monday's BBQ provided a great profit and lots of chatting in between serving the multitude of customers.
 
Best wishes and have a great week. Yvette, President.

The Four Way Test

The Four Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do:

  1. Is it the Truth?
  2. Is it Fair to all concerned?
  3. Will it build Goodwill and better Friendships?
  4. Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Affirmation

United in the spirit of Service we value truth, fairness and friendship; and we welcome the opportunity that Rotary gives us to contribute our talents and resources in support of others.

Rotary Club of Adelaide Light Mission Statement

To have fun and engage interest from new members and friends as we use our strengths for a better world here and abroad - a welcoming, flexible group having fun doing hands-on activities for positive impact.

Jokes Corner
While driving in Pennsylvania , a family caught up to an Amish carriage.
 
The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust."
