Are you up for the Challenge? Are you coming to support our “Days for Girls” service activity? Are you bringing someone who wants to know about Rotary?
If you answered yes to these questions, then we are going to have a great night as we join forces with the Rotary Club of Eastwood at 6pm on Wednesday 6th June at The Royal Coach, Dequetteville Tce., Kent Town. We will start with substantial savouries and drinks and then move into The Adelaide Room where from 7pm – 8.30pm we will work at tables and assist Days for Girls in the packing of kits to be sent overseas: whilst also learning about this project and the amazing difference it make to females lives in underdeveloped countries. Be prepared to be impressed!
For Rotarians the cost is $20 and your partners and friends are free. This is also in place of our meeting on Thurs 7 June.
We are looking for your enthusiasm and support! RSVP’s to secretary John by Thursday 31st May
This year our Club sponsored Adelaide City Rotaractor, Gregory White, to attend the two day Rotary Learning Institute Course which was run two weekends ago. Gregory will speak of his experience at this week’s club meeting and I hope this will inspire Adelaide Light Rotarians to think about nominating to attend themselves in 2019.
Thought for the week:
“I’ve learnt that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”

There standing in front of a big puddle outside the pub was an old man, drenched, holding a stick, with a piece of string dangling in the water.
A passer-by stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Fishing" replied the old man.
Feeling sorry for the old man, the gent says, "Come in out of the rain and have a drink with me."
In the warmth of the pub, as they sip their whiskies, the gentleman, being a bit of a "smartie pants", cannot resist asking, "So how many have you caught today?"
