President's Pen
Posted by Rob McLennan on Oct. 20, 2025
Last Tuesday evening the Community Services Committee met and as well as enjoying a meal and each other's company, Kirsti kept us on track with the agenda.
Paige, Liz, Lili, Yuli ( Club Friend ) Kirsti and myself attended.
 
Di and myself met for muffins and coffee at our Coffee Conversation last Thursday morning and were able to discuss lots.
 
Heidi Unferdorben  from the Adelaide Club and Leader of the Community Group 9510-1 which includes our club, plus 13 others, organised a Picnic and Family Day which was held yesterday in Bonython Park. About 40 people participated which included clubs from Adelaide. Adel. Light, Adel. Parks, Walkerville, Mawson Lakes, Lightsview, Regency Park, and Adelaide City Rotaract. Our club was well represented with Kirsti, Lili, Liz, John and myself as well as club friends, Yuli, a couple from Chile Who had previously walked with us at Morialta together with a newly arrived young man from Saudia Arabia. We had great fun, Lili was the games coordinator and we were able to give the club marquee an airing.
 
Our next club meeting is this coming Thursday evening from 6pm at the Kent Town Hotel in a different room upstairs where we met a couple Of months ago. Unfortunately, I will be an apology as Sally and myself will be in Warrnambool to attend a funeral that afternoon.
Our monthly board meeting will commence at 5pm in the same room.
 
Regards,
Rob

The Four Way Test
Posted by Richard Jarrett on Sep. 04, 2018

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.
