Johnny: “Seven.”

Teacher: “No, listen carefully… If I gave you two cats, and another two cats, and another two, how many would you have?”

Johnny: “Seven.”

Teacher: “Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples, and another two, how many would you have?”

Johnny: “Six.”

Teacher: “Good! Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats, and another two, how many would you have?”

ESIDENT'S RUMBLE

Hi everyone,

I hope you have had a good week so far and trying to relax over the weekend.

This week’s meeting was probably our best attended meeting so far this year with 25 members attending, wow! Lee followed up on the offer of the Criterion night with Amanda’s production of “BBQ”. Unfortunately we have declined the offer of this night as the majority of members didn’t want to proceed, however if our members still wish to go along there are plenty of nights that we can attend.

Secretary Greg gave us a brief summary of our last board meeting outcomes, and advised that this month’s board meeting has been postponed due to a few board members not able to attend.

District 9640 Conference is on Saturday 15^th May at Twin Towns, Coolangatta. If you are wanting to attend and need accommodation at the Mantra Twin Towns, there is a flash sale on at present which is better value than DG Andy’s 10% off best rate. Don’t leave it too long and phone Twin Towns direct. Details on the conference are below.

Youth Director Leila is doing a great job in this area with yet another achievement this week which she talks about later in this bulletin. Great work Leila!

Peter & the book sale team have plans well under way for the sale this coming week. Judy also has the roster filling up for Bunnings BBQ on Easter Saturday.

Until I return from leave, VP Lee will look after you all over the next couple of weeks.

Enjoy your week and look forward to returning in a couple of weeks after some R & R in Cairns & Burleigh Haeds.

President Robert

LADIES LONG LUNCHEON

Last Saturday the Ladies attended a luncheon at Camellia's home down by the river. The food was fantastic the company even better and the weather was kind.

Well done Camellia, Judy G and Chris.

MODEL UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY

Grafton Midday and McAuley Catholic College join forces to participate

in M.U.N.A.

“MUNA (Model United Nations Assembly) is a Rotary project designed to create an awareness of the role of the United Nations in mediating international issues. The purpose of MUNA is to encourage young people to learn about other nations and appreciate the workings of the United Nations, while they develop their debating skills and gain self confidence in public speaking.

Teams comprise 3 students from Years 11 & 12 – they select a country, research its history, politics, economics, people, international alignment and policies in current world affairs. They then debate selected resolutions from each country’s point of view in a simulated UN Assembly.

This year a team from McAuley Catholic College under the mentorship of Alex Montford, were successful with their application and they have been given Germany as their country to research. As far as I am aware, this is the first time our club has had a school participate in MUNA.

It will be held on Saturday 1^st May at Tweed Heads Civic Centre from 9am and is open to family & Rotarians to attend.”

NEW RACKING INSTALLED

The book storage shed was a hive of activity last Tuesday with the setting up of the extra racking, this will now give enough storage to separate
