Wow. Many thanks to Colin, Ruth and Neil for a wonderful evening. We welcomed members from Mermaid Beach Rotary and many friends and relatives of wonderful people who came along to the evening. Many, many thanks To Colin for the wine and the keepsake biros to commemorate the evening. There was a lot of discussion at and between tables and much groaning when answers were provided for the various and varied subjects.
Kumar, as usual, provided a delicious meal and I think I can speak for us all and declare the evening a success. The raffle prizes went to various tables and the winning table was awarded gift bags which included Burleigh Bears/Sports Club $25 gift cards per person.
A reminder to all that we have the visit to the Wax Museum next Tuesday , courtesy of Peter and Rosslyn. The tour will start promptly at 6.00 so please allow time for parking. You also need to indicate when accepting [in the comments section] if you are coming to dinner for more fellowship at the Clock Hotel.
See you there.
Yours in Rotary
VP Pauline

A keynote speech by Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai was a highlight of the 2026 Rotary International Convention in Taipei. We caught up with her afterward for a conversation about her advocacy for girls' education and what makes her so brave. She also has a message for Rotary members. Read the interview.

The Lighter Side Fortnightly
Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything.
I’m on a whiskey diet. I’ve lost three days already.
If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a few car payments.
I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She hugged me.
My diet and I are in a committed relationship, but desserts keep texting me.
Coffee and I have a mutual understanding—we don’t talk before sunrise.
I asked my chair for support today. It squeaked like it had enough of my problems.
I tried running from my bills. They caught up faster than any athlete.
I have a split personality… and both of us enjoy naps equally.
I have still got it… I just don’t know where I put it.
I haven’t talked to my wife in three days. I don’t like to interrupt her.
My husband said he needed more space. So I locked him outside.
Love is blind—but marriage is a real eye-opener.
Alcohol may not solve your problems, but neither will water.
I drink to make other people more interesting.
I told my friends I’m going sober for the weekend. They said, “You mean until Friday?”
Cheers to the nights we’ll never remember… with the friends we’ll never forget.
I’m not drunk. I’m just chemically off-balanced.
I’m multitasking: I can listen, ignore, and forget at the same time.
Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it most never use it.
My life feels like a test I didn’t study for.
I’m not antisocial; I’m selectively social.
The early bird can have the worm. I’ll take bacon.
The early bird may get the first worm, but it is the second mouse that gets the chees
Parallel lines have so much in common… it’s a shame they’ll never meet.
My boss told me to have a good day… so I went home.
