Posted by Katrina Ball on Sep 24, 2019
This week we have a breakfast meeting on Thursday 26 September at 7.15 am at the Stamford Plaza Hotel.  If you are unable to attend the meeting or will have guests attending, please email me at kmball@jelkamain.com or text me on 0402853929 by Wednesday lunchtime so that I can advise the Stamford Plaza about numbers attending.  There will be a Board meeting directly after the meeting.
 
We had a very successful fundraising BBQ at Bunnings Mile End last week raising $1193 for Club service projects.  Many thanks to Di Lane for organising the BBQ, including working on two shifts.   September is always a difficult month for our Club for fundraising activities with many members away at this time.  
 
We start our new Community Service projects next Wednesday afternoon with a visit by club members to Ronald McDonald House who have invited us to tour their facility ahead of our Club preparing an evening meal for House guests on November 13th.  Our Club has been associated with Ronald McDonald House for some time through the weekly Sunday bread run so it is nice to be able to extend our volunteering activities with the facility.
 
Even if you are not able to assist with meal preparation on 13 November, I would encourage all members to attend the tour as we hope to be able to help Ronald McDonald House with their evening meal preparation as part of their “Meals from the Heart Program” on an ongoing basis. Please contact Julie Campbell who is organising the visit for the Club if you are able to attend.

Vacuum Cleaner

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" said the old lady. "I haven't got any money!" and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open. "Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration."

And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."

"Well," she said, "I hope you've got a good appetite because the electricity was cut off this morning."
