President's Pen

This coming Thursday morning instead of a Coffee Conversation we will be trialling the Cafe On The Square for the second time at 7am. for 7,15am start.

 

The working bee at Catherine House last Saturday morning saw the removal of all the roses from the from garden and it is now ready for planting of new shrubs. In the rear garden, barrows of pebbles were poured over the two garden paths and it looks terrific.

Thankyou to Katrina, Richard, Di, Don and of course, Kym.

This coming Sat. another working bee is planned at 8.30am and a request has gone out seeking volunteers. We are now very nearly completion with the assembly of the outdoor furniture purchased from Stratco still to happen once we have picked it up.

 

Yesterday I received a request from the Norwood Rotary Club seeking volunteers to help

with their barbeque at Bunnings at Mile End this coming Friday and Di and myself will be on their first shift. We will be able to compare notes.

 

Our Club's next barbeque is at Bunning's at Kent Town on Friday 2nd. November and Di has sent out a request for volunteers please and she has filled the first shift.

 

When reading this publication look out for two movies being promoted in November. 

End Polio Now film fundraiser
Further to the article in the District Bizz on the Film Fundraiser for End Polio Now here are the details for 3 Cinema options.
 
The film 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is said to be a great fun movie showcasing the life of Freddie Mercury who suffered greatly without the collaboration of his band Queen until he reunites with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid and leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day who have produced some outstanding music.
 
The movie will be showing on,
  • Friday 2nd November at 6 pm, at Wallis Cinema Mount Barker or
     
  • Sunday 4th November, at 4pm, The Regal Cinema, Kensington Park or
     
  • Sunday 4th November at 3.30pm for 4pm start, The Gawler Cinemas - you can pay directly at the door.
Refreshments have been arranged at each Theatre so just come along and enjoy the film.
 
Full details for booking and the film trailer are on the District Website.
 
This is a opportunity to organize a group of your Club Members and Friends and have a great afternoon out raising funds for the Eradication of Polio which as you know helps us vaccinate 150 million children every year to prevent the virus from breaking out and reinstating.

Jokes Corner

 

Larry was a photographer for the N.Y. Times, and was scheduled to meet a plane on the runway to take him on a job.

“Hit it,” said Larry climbing into the first plane he saw on the runway.

The pilot took off, and was soon in the air.

“OK,” said Larry, “fly low over the trees over there, I want to take a few pictures.”

“What do you mean?” asked the pilot.

Larry looked at the pilot and answered a little annoyed, “I need to take some pictures for the N.Y. Times, so please…..”

There was a long pause, before the pilot asked in a shaky voice, “you mean you’re not my pilot instructor?”
