- Jennifer
- It looks like we have a Community Leader for our Rotary Community after much searching. Did George help the process? We have to wait to find out who it is but Jennifer feels we will be pleased.
- Thanked the Club for their support while she was Assistant Governor.
- Peter, in return, thanked Jennifer for her contribution.
- Javian
- Enjoyed the Safari but it was disrupted by the wet weather. All went well until Alice Springs and Kings Canyon but they could not travel to the Barrier Reef as the roads were cut. Instead they travelled back to Adelaide, Kangaroo Island (and an encounter with a Koala), the Great Ocean Rd and then home.
- Carmel
- Told members about the Inner Wheel function on 4th May. It turns out that men are welcome.
- Answer:
- 59 days. If the water level doubles every day, the reservoir on any given day was half the size the day prior. If the reservoir is full on day 60, that means it was half full on day 59, not on day 30.

Stories
The Bill
A woman decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250.00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!" The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it. She insisted on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre which are available for your use."
"But I didn't use them."
'Well, they are here, and you could have."
He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous. "We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here."
"But I didn't go to any of those shows.."
"Well, we have them, and you could have."
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response. After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00"
"That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me."
"But I didn't!"
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
Mousetrap
A man walks into a hardware store and says “One mousetrap please, and hurry, I have a bus to catch”
“Sorry” says the salesman “Our traps are not that big”.
