President's Pen
At last week’s breakfast meeting, we had a wonderful surprise guest – former member Terry Rodoni. He had a great reason to be in Adelaide – the Gather Round – so he could barrack for his beloved Collingwood.
 
Terry became our guest speaker, catching us up on his life since he returned home to Victoria many years ago. Thanks for coming Terry, it was great to see you again.
 
Our Board meeting was relocated to a nearby café in Hutt Street. Minutes of meeting will be sent to members by our Secretary Di in the next few weeks.
 
This week is Coffee Catch-up at the White Picket Café. See you there from 9.30am.
 
Best wishes and have a great week. Yvette, President.

Embolden's Domestic & Family Violence Candlelight Vigil will take place on Wednesday 6 May, marking Domestic and Family Violence Remembrance Day. This day is dedicated to honouring the memory of those whose lives have been taken due to domestic and family violence.

This year's Vigil will have a focus on the impacts of domestic and family violence on children and young people, and include music from young Nukunu singer-songwriter Tilly Tjala Thomas.

We hope you can join us for this significant annual event.

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

To have fun and engage interest from new members and friends as we use our strengths for a better world here and abroad - a welcoming, flexible group having fun doing hands-on activities for positive impact.

Jokes Corner
Smith goes to see his supervisor in the front office.
 
“Boss,” he says, “we’re doing some heavy house-cleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage, moving and hauling stuff.”
 
“We’re short-handed, Smith” the boss replies. “I can’t give you the day off.”
 
“Thanks, boss,” says Smith “I knew I could count on you!”
