Everyone welcome. 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. THIS BULLETIN IS FOR MEMBERS USE ONLY Rotary Club of Glenferrie inc.

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...
