Hi everyone,
 
I hope you have all had a great week even though we have had a little more rain, just what we needed!
 
I have had a couple of members speak to me regards some events that may help our local flood victims, so once these events are investigated we can further discuss with the club for them to progress.
 
Tomorrow Sunday is our annual Polio movie so if you and your friends & family can make it to the Saraton after lunch at the Crown, it will be an enjoyable afternoon to help the eradication of Polio.
 
Greg has sent out the agenda and amendments to our bylaws that we will vote on this Wednesday’s meeting so please if you have any queries on these amendments or need clarification contact either Brian, Mark T or myself.
 
Thank you to the team that assisted the club with the birthing kits last Saturday at David & Leila’s where another 175 kits were gathered ready for shipment.
 
Enjoy the weekend and the movie “The Duke” on Sunday, take care, stay safe.
 
Centenary President,
 
Robert

DISTRICT EXPO IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS
This year's event is going to be a real country affair, it's in Tenterfield! Go to the Expo Website https://rotary9640.org/page/district-conference and check out what's happening. There you find the program, a brief summary of all the Keynote Speakers, and of course, you can register. But of course, one of the big attractions of attending a conference is always the deep feeling of Rotary Fellowship. Being in the country, formalities will be kept to a minimum. 
 
WHAT'S A GREAT WAY TO MEET FELLOW ROTARIANS FROM AROUND THE DISTRICT AND LEARN MORE ABOUT ROTARY .
 
  • Friday morning is the District Governor's Golf Challenge
  • Friday night is the Welcome Dinner - held at the historical Tenterfield Railway Station
  • Saturday night is a Dinner Dance (and yes, you can drink; they have organised bus pick up to/from your accommodation place)
  • Sunday morning are two styles of breakfast: one the Champagne Breakfast up near Bald Rock (image right), the other at the Historic Walk with PDG Harry Bolton
The (almost) final program is now on the Downloads section. Go on, check it out!
 
 
HUMOUR FOR THE WEEK
Tony walks into a bar and says "Bartender, one round for everyone, on me!" The bartender says, "Well, Tony, seems you're in a really good mood tonight, eh?"


Tony says, "Oh, you can bet on it! I just got hired by the city to go around and remove all the money from parking meters. I start on Monday!"

The bartender congratulates the man and proceeds to pour the round.

Monday evening arrives. Tony comes back into the bar and says "Bartender, TWO rounds for everyone, on me!"

The bartender says, "Well now! If you're so happy just over having this new job, I can just imagine how happy you'll be when you get your paycheck!"

Tony looks at the bartender with a confused look on his face, pulls out quite a handful of quarters from his pocket, and says "You mean they'll PAY me on top of it?"
