Thank you to those Rotarians who were able to attend the RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awardees) dinner last Wednesday night at the Belair Country Club, which our club funded jointly with Adelaide Rotary. It was a wonderful night and a great opportunity to meet the awardees and be impressed by their openness, confidence, public speaking ability and their gratitude to RYLA for the opportunity to grow and develop. There can be no doubt of the need for our club to continue to support this amazing program which does so much for our youth.
On Sunday, members braved the wet and windy conditions and joined with Eastwood Rotary Club to plant 250 trees at Inman Valley. We were joined by friends and members of the Rotary Nomads. As well as good exercise, it was great fun and helping to achieve International President Ian Riseley's 2017/18 aim of planting a tree for every Rotarian worldwide. We thank Brian Lange, President of Eastwood Rotary, for inviting us to his property, for lunch and for his monetary donation to Adelaide Light as a thank you for our help.
Thought for the week:
We make a living by what we get and we make a life by what we give Winston Churchill.
The Adelaide Rotary Club are organizing a wine lunch at the Caledonian Hotel North Adelaide.
- Heartland wine lunch Sunday August 20th 12.00 for 12.30
The cost is $90 a head of which each club makes $20 from each ticket sold.
There are generally up to 6 courses and 12 different wines served. and there is also an opportunity to purchase wines at very good savings from which each club also gets a small return.

Student - I don’t think I deserved zero on this test!
Teacher - I agree, but that’s the lowest mark I could give you!
Homework
As a teacher I often send home notes with children to inform the parents that their child’s behaviour can use some improvement.
I received the following letter from one student’s father, “Dear Mrs Green, Harry is sorry he didn’t do his homework last night, he will never do it again.”
