Member Talk - Aaron

Aaron is the son of Narelle (nee Moss) and Brendon Snaidero.  His family now lives around Australia, including Canberra, Wollongong and Queensland. He was born in Queanbeyan and lived near Canberra for the first 9 months before moving with Mum back to Leeton.  His schooling was at Leeton Preschool (loved the outdoors and bouncing on the trampoline); Leeton Public (a good student) and St Francis, graduating in 2013 where he enjoyed General Maths, Construction and Graphic design. At this time his Mum was a carer for Natalie Dartnell. 

Aaron worked at Gulutzo farm, maintenance at Riverina Motel, as a food hygienist and shed maintenance at SunRice and at AGS before meeting his ex-wife and moving to Sydney.

Aaron attended RYLA in 2014, where he met many different personalities and learnt important skills that have given him confidence for his future.

Aaaron now works as Activities coordinator at Southern Cross/ Assumption Villa.

Narrandera Rotary Charity Golf Day is on Thursday 25th September. Narrandera Club is asking for our members to support them. They aren’t seeking help for the day, rather Narrandera is looking to raise awareness of Rotary and try and gain new members. If any members are happy to wander over for the day in Rotary shirts and spruik the virtues of Rotary that would be appreciated. The Narrandera club also asked that we seek to include them in any social activities we plan where possible.

Upon continued house cleaning – found FAST cards referencing strokes (see attached photo file) which he distributed to all members – followed by discussion on incidents where these observations were important in identifying occurrence of stroke even over the phone.

Oh Dear!

A rich playboy had so many girlfriends that he hadn't enough time to entertain them all. So, he made a research lab an offer they couldn't refuse and got them to clone him in order to balance the load. However, the cloning technique hadn't been perfected, causing the clone to suffer from Tourette's Syndrome. By and by the clone's obscenities caused the girlfriends to run away. Eventually the playboy decided something had to be done, so he took the clone to a remote part of the Grand Canyon and pushed him over a cliff. 

He thought he'd got away with it, but shortly after the police arrested him for making an obscene clone fall.

 

A: Outnumbered.
