ROTARY/UKRAINE FRIENDS DELIVER AMBULANCES

Rotary and Ukraine Friends have joined together to provide a convoy of 40 ambulances for Ukrainian officials to help deliver life-saving aid to those injured by the war. The $600,000 initiative, $300,000 of which came from a Rotary Foundation disaster response grant, was the first joint project between the two organizations after a July agreement to collaborate. Rotary members are also working with Ukraine Friends to rehabilitate two schools in the Bucha region damaged by shelling. Read more about this initiative and the ongoing partnership to help the people of Ukraine.

WEEKLY LAUGHS

Two cows were standing next to each other in a field.
Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning."
"I don't believe you," said Dolly.
"It's true, no bull!" exclaimed Daisy.

How come wrong numbers are never busy?

Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips?

Why is it that night falls but day breaks?

Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavour, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Are part-time band leaders semi-conductors?

When my son graduated from high school, he had to give a speech. He began by reading from his prepared text. "I want to talk about my mother and the wonderful influence she has had on my life," he told the audience. "She is a shining example of parenthood, and I love her more than words could ever do justice."
At this point he seemed to struggle for words. After a pause he looked up with a grin and said, "It's really hard to read my mom's handwriting."

Q: What has eight legs and goes up and down?
