President's Pen
Posted by Rob McLennan on Aug 07, 2018
Due to a national Bunnings promotion, our planned barbeque for next Friday 10 August has been cancelled. Kent Town have offered us Friday 21 September instead and already most of the rostered team have put their hands up for the new date.
 
Katrina has organized for our club to participate in the 10th annual Walk a Mile in Our Boots next Friday 10 August, an event that members of our club have attended since its inception. With the cancellation of the BBQ, I will be able to join the rest of our walkers in front of the grandstand.
 
Sadly, Kym Pedler has been feeling poorly and so our working bee at Catherine House was cancelled yesterday and it is hoped (weather permitting) that our club and Rotaractors can meet next Saturday 11 August. This will be confirmed later in the coming week.

The Four Way Test
Posted by Richard Jarrett on Jan 22, 2015

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

Jokes Corner
Posted by Di Lane on Aug 07, 2018

Do you ever look at all your kids and think...

* That one will be dropping me kerbside at the Nursing Home

* That one will be paying for it.

* That one will be visiting me the most.

* That one will be sneaking in the Chinese food, red wine and Tim Tams!
