President's Pen
Rotary Leadership Institute is a fast paced. Interactive, two day course offered to refine and affirm leadership skills and increase knowledge of, and appreciation for, Rotary. Topics include leadership, team building, communication, strategic planning and analysis, attracting and engaging members, public image and public relations, service projects, the Rotary Foundation etc.   Having attended RLI myself a few years ago, I would encourage members of our club to consider attending next year.
 
This year Adelaide Light Rotary sponsored Gregory White from Adelaide City Rotaract to attend RLI and it was pleasing that Gregory found time to attend our breakfast last week and speak about the value he felt he gained from the course.
 
See you all this Wednesday night 6th June at 6pm at The Royal Coach where we will be joining with Eastwood Rotary Club to assist Days for Girls in packing their kits to be sent overseas. We are aiming to pack 60 kits so need support from you and your friends. 
This will be instead of this week’s normal Thursday breakfast.
 
Thought for the week:
Just remember: the people that say your dreams are impossible, have already given up on theirs.

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.

 

Rotary Club of Adelaide Light Mission Statement

Jokes Corner
Walking 
 
My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old and we have no idea where he is.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. 

 

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing... 

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say,
'Well, he looks good doesn't he'.
