On the 14th November, 2015 RCAL will forego its usual “Good Guys” BBQ to assist catering for post Christmas Pageant attendees at Elder Park
It looks like the “early birds may catch the worm” so our first team may have to be on site at 8a.m.
We have detailed instructions re:
Information for the Big Hang Out
Site Map
Information re safe food handling practices
It is recommended that we have teams of 6 people (2 cooking, 2 handling food & 2 selling “Big Hang Out” socks for the charity fundraiser). All sausages & drinks will be supplied free of charge & proceeds will be split equally between the 6 Rotary Clubs after paying a 5% fee to Adelaide Rotary Club for their organisation
It would be great to have 12 volunteers so we can make 2 shifts for the likely 8a.m. to 4p.m. day
I will be onsite from 7.30AM to grab a good site & coordinate.
Please be aware that accommodation is filling fast.

Rotary Club of Adelaide Light Mission Statement
To be recognised as the Service Club of Choice in the Eastern Precinct of Adelaide because we are a Friendly Breakfast Club that appeals to a broad range of busy people who want to make a difference to local and international communities.
Caller: "Hi, Bob, I really need your advice on a serious problem. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs: If the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up. She goes out with 'the girls' a lot. I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home, but I usually fall asleep.
Anyway, last night about midnight, I hid in the shed behind the boat. When she came home, she got out of someone's car buttoning her blouse. It was at that moment, crouched behind the boat, that I noticed a hairline crack in the outboard motor mounting bracket.
Is that something I can weld, or do I need to replace the whole bracket?"
