President's Pen
Due to continuing COVID-19 social distancing restrictions our meeting this week on Thursday 9 April will be another ZOOM online meeting starting at 7.30 am.  The meeting is scheduled for 7.30am but you can start logging in from 7.15 am.   To join the meeting, just type or copy this URL https://zoom.us/j/433256207  into your browser and press enter.
 
As well as hearing from this week’s guest speaker, Katey Halliday, who will talk about her RYLA Oceania experiences, we will also share our experiences of successful social isolating activities and discuss positive things that we think have come out of the current crisis.
 
The Stamford Plaza Hotel has advised us that they have cancelled all event bookings up until 30 June and will be working with only a skeleton staff during this time.  Consequently, our breakfast meeting bookings have all been cancelled and so we should anticipate continuing to have ZOOM meetings till the end of June.      
 
Upcoming meetings
Here are the meeting dates for the next two months:
 
Thursday 9 April, 7.30 am
Thursday 23 April, 7.30 am
Thursday 14 May, 7.30 am
Thursday 28 May, 7.30 am
Bottles & cans fundraising
Message from Rob McLennan :

 

Our annual amount from bottles and cans for this year is $554.40 and we are trying to reach our annual budget.

This is particularly an aim, given that BBQs have been ceased.

 

If members leave their bags out by their front gate , I will collect them if notified.

Cheers,

Rob

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.

Jokes Corner
I went to see the doctor today and he said to me, “Don’t eat anything fatty.”
 
I said, “What – no bacon or sausages or burgers or anything?”
 
He said, “No fatty, just don’t eat anything.”
