President's Pen

We had another gathering of members for a pleasant coffee conversation last Thursday morning, this time at the reopened Stables where we sat outside in the sunshine.

 

This morning we had a successful working bee at Catherine House moving a tip truck load of paving earth around to the rear of the building and spreading it out in readiness for paving. Thee Rotaractors assisted us, Gregory, Santhny (from Malaysia) and Khoung (from Vietnam).

 

This coming Sat. 22/9 at 8.30am, we will be again conducting a working bee at Catherine House, this time wheelbarrowing a load of paving sand to the now erected pergola site , plus other assorted tasks as directed by project manager, Kym Pedler.

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.

Jokes Corner

A husband and wife are shopping in their local supermarket.

The husband picks up a case of beer and puts it in their cart.

"What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife.

"They're on sale, only $20 for 24 cans" he replies.

"Put them back, we can't afford them" demands the wife.

They carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on, the woman picks up a $40 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

"What do you think you're doing?" asks the husband.

"It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," replies the wife.

Her husband retorts: "So does 24 cans of beer and it's half the price."

 

Staff found him on the floor in Aisle 5.
