Jackie Reid. Next week's speaker, Motivational Humorist Larry Wilde, Clown Prince of Platform Humour.
Larry is a professional speaker and happens to be in Vancouver on a speaking tour and is speaking to our club next Friday Sept 29th.
He has agreed to waive his usual fee of $7,500.
He comes with several interesting Rotary recommendations.
One being from Christopher Gordon of the Canadian Club of the Desert in Cathedral City, California.
Gordon was on of the three Gordon's from the Vancouver club who sponsored our club back in 1977.
Can anyone name the other two Gordon's?
We are all invited to bring a guest.
This would be an excellent opportunity to introduce that special guest to Rotary.
Larry will be speaking for approx 45 minutes so he will be being introduced early at 12.45pm
You will be being phoned to get a better idea of attendance. Please be ready.
Larry is a Pual Harris Fellow

Larry's Ten Commandments for Lighthearted Living
Thou shalt make up your mind that no matter what happens you're going to be a happy person. If you're not having fun, FAKE IT.
II. Thou shalt start the day with a smile by reading something funny. Skip the stress of listening to the news.
III. Thou shalt keep smiling! It makes people wonder what you've been up to.
IV. If thou meetist someone who hasn't got a smile, give them yours.
V. Laugh at your dumb mistakes before others have a chance to.
VI. Laugh with your spouse and your marriage will improve with age.
VII. Laugh with your kids and they'll never stop loving you.
VIII. Thou shalt not laugh with your relatives -- it will encourage them to borrow money.
IX. Thou shalt not talk on thy cell phone while standing on line at the Post Office.
X. Don't give up. Moses was once a basket case.
XI. AND remember: Angels fly because they take themselves lightly.
