Hi everyone,
 
I hope you have had a good week and enjoying the weekend.
 
At this week’s meeting we didn’t have any guest speakers however we had updates on a few events upcoming. The High Tea for Jess Munro is on this Saturday at Vines and sounds like it will be a nice afternoon. Judy Glasson & Chris Lynch have done a wonderful job in organising this event. It was decided at Thursday’s board meeting that a donation would be given for the event of $500 from the club to assist.
 
Sunday afternoon 28th November our end of year event will occur at the Crown Hotel, so come along for nibbles and drinks enjoying the scenery on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Nibbles and a drink will be provided “Free” for members & their partners so come along if you can.
 
Saturday afternoon was a productive afternoon at David & Leila’s home for the birthing kit & spectacle workshop. The afternoon was attended by Bob & Kathryn, Judy G, Don, Lee, David & Leila, and I was able to make it for part of the event. Peter has kindy offered to take the birthing kits, spectacles, & books to Ballina for the week to pass onto Richard Crandon & his team. 
 
We had our November board meeting on Thursday night which was very productive once again. Our AGM has been set for Wednesday 15th December so if you would like to help out on the board for 22/23 at some level please talk to Lee or myself as there are a couple of positions that need filling. As we have Estelle Graham coming along on Wednesday this week to talk about school projects in Sri Lanka, the board update / club assembly may need to be postponed.
 
We received notice this week that our grant application submitted to the Rotary club of Balwyn was not successful to enable us to do a youth event in January, however we will look at another funding source for this event to continue if possible.
 
Until Wednesday, stay safe & well & look forward to seeing you at the meeting to listen to our Guest speaker on the day, Estelle Graham.
 
Centenary President,
Robert

HUMOUR FOR THE WEEK
With a very seductive voice the woman asked her husband, “Have you ever seen Twenty Dollars all crumpled up?” “No,” said her husband.

She gave him a sexy little smile, unbuttoned the top 3 or 4 buttons of her blouse, and slowly reached down into the cleavage created by a soft, silky push-up bra, and pulled out a crumpled 20 Dollar bill.

He took the crumpled Twenty Dollar bill from her and smiled approvingly.

She then asked him, “Have you ever seen Fifty Dollars all crumpled up?”

“Uh… no, I haven’t,” he said, with an anxious tone in his voice.
She gave him another sexy little smile, pulled up her skirt, and seductively reached into her panties… and pulled out a crumpled Fifty Dollar bill.

He took the crumpled Fifty Dollar bill, and started breathing a little quicker with anticipation.

“Now,” she said, “have you ever seen $50,000 Dollars all crumpled up?”

He said “No!”. trying to hide his excitement.

She said …“Check the garage.”
Only us  males would fall for this!!! ed.
