President's Pen
There is no meeting this week, however there will be a coffee conversation on Thursday 15 August at 9.30 am at the White Picket Coffee House, 10 Stuart St, Dulwich. Everyone is welcome.  
 
Our next official meeting is a breakfast meeting on Thursday 22 August at the Stamford Plaza Hotel.
 
Members are reminded that there is a Bunnings BBQ on Tuesday 20 August at Mile End. Di Lane has prepared the roster for the day and all spots have been filled. Our last BBQ was very successful with customers queuing up regardless of the rain.  Hopefully, we’ll have better weather next week.   
 
Last week we were shown the many benefits for participants and the broader community that can come from Rotary’s Group Study Exchange Program. Our guest speaker, Amber Shreeve, a Sergeant in the South Australian Police force, talked to us about what she learnt from vocational visits during her Group Study Exchange to Missouri, USA. She was able to observe different interagency practice in domestic violence policing and other agency interventions that will help inform her work and South Australian policing in the future.

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 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.

 

Jokes Corner

Note from the IT Department....

When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children's art.

We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.
