FROM THE PRESIDENT
Thank you to all members who contributed to the discussion at the club
forum this week. I felt a lot of interesting ideas were put forward to improve the club
To keep getting the good speakers John Suriano has been able to bring to
the Club, he feels we sometimes have to give them more time than twenty minutes.
To make more time we may not have the sergeants’ session every week and talking
to members it is felt that it has developed more into a quiz session rather than
fines for members misbehaviour. To make it fun if you have any odd stories to tell
about members getting up to mischief, just drop me an email and I will pass it on
anonymously to the sergeant for the next meeting.
Main points of discussion were about the necessity to find another fund
raiser in case we lose the Farmers Market. Although this is unlikely. It was suggested
that we should make patrons at the market aware of where the money raised is
distributed on a display board. I am sure the Farmers Market Committee will consider
this.
Various suggestions were put regarding new members from looking at
different ethnic groups in the community to having the introducing member sit in on
the interview.
The more discussed issue of the evening was about how often the Club
should meet. Gabe Hau our ADG responded to this, advising that the District has
softened its attitude and it may not be required for clubs to meet weekly. I have
spoken to many members individually on this topic and very different and divisive
views are evident. As it was only voted on seven or eight months ago I feel there are
more important things to do getting a new administration settled before we look at
this again. If members raise it then it will have to be in the second half of the Rotary
year.
I attend the last of the cluster clubs change over meetings this week. The
DGs who have to sit through these hot air sessions one after another deserve a
medal. It has made me very aware of keeping things brief and to the point. I hope
for your sake I can achieve this.
Keep safe, take care.

Attendance for 30th June, 2015
One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a
Christmas gift...
The next year, I didn’t buy her a gift.
When she asked me why, I replied,
“Well, you still haven’t used the gift I bought you last year!”
And that’s how the fight started.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we
were in bed.
I turned to her and said, ‘Do you want to have Sex?’
‘No,’ she answered. I then said,
‘Is that your final answer?’
She didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying, ‘Yes...’
So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend.”
And that’s when the fight started...
--------------------------------------------------------------------My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she
kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a
nearby table.
I asked her, “Do you know him?”
“Yes”, she sighed,
“He’s my old boyfriend.... I understand he took to drinking right after we
split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn’t been sober since.”
“My God!” I said, “Who would think a person could go on celebrating
that long?”
And then the fight started...
