No Meeting

There was no meeting on 2nd April due to the Easter Break. While we missed the fellowship, we still managed to fit in some activities.

Director’s Reports 

Geoff is planning a working bee to form up for the cement base in Wamoon Ave on Wednesday 8th at 9.45am.

Opening of the Penny Paniz Art Exhibition.

The opening event was held at the Leeton Museum and Art Gallery on 27th March.  Rotary was well represented.  Aaron presented the Youth Art Prize and Youth Encouragement Award on behalf of the Club. 

Thank you to Mary_Anne for the pictures.

******************************

Marshalling for the SunRice Street Parade .

A solid group from our club turned up to help with crowd control for the Parade.  It was a fun event and the crowd were well-behaved and in a very festive mood.

Thank you to all who helped on the day. Some random pictures thanks to Mary-Anne.

 

Of Course it’s not all about Rotary!

A Shaggy Dog Story

This farmer was telling me about how brilliant his sheepdog was at maths.

” Watch this," he said.

"Shep, what's seven plus two?”, he asked and the dog barked ten times.

"Ok, Shep, what's fifteen plus four?”

And the dog barked twenty times.

"He's very good," I said, “but he's a little over."

"Yeah," answered the farmer,” Old habits die hard, he keeps rounding them up."
