Rotarians are reminded about our social evening to be held on Friday 5 October at the Riverside Rowing Club. Meal will be supplied and the cost is $20. Partners, family and friends are all welcome. Please RSVP your intention to John Wotherspoon.
Adelaide City Rotaractors had indicated that they would like to join our members for another weekend at Calperum. A vacancy from 14-16 September was available but unfortunately this coincides with members' participation in the Bay-City Fun Run so our Club had decided not to avail ourselves of these dates.
Our next BBQ is Saturday 8 September at Kent Town.
Last week, our speaker was John Wotherspoon who gave an outstanding talk on his and Deborah's latest trip overseas.

* Teacher: "If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Six." Teacher: "Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Seven!" Teacher: "Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?!" Johnny: "Because I've already got a freaking cat!"
