Board of Directors FY20

G’day everyone and welcome to another Rotary week!!

Last week’s meeting was a lively affair with Committee Meetings, Kerry’s “Behind the Badge” talk (Act 1), a couple of guests, some interesting soup (I think it was turnip, swede and apple for those who have been wondering), a final farewell to Linc as he heads off to live in Vietnam to continue writing an historic novel and a Board Meeting to finish with.  Kerry’s talk was really interesting and just gearing up when we realised the meeting might run a bit long, so hopefully we will get Act 2 this week.  Thanks for your understanding and patience, Kerry!

We have two consistent - and persistent - guests which is fab.  Roy and Annie are very welcome new faces who are hoping to join our throng soon.  Please make a point of saying g’day and getting to know them a bit more.

This week we welcome Belinda Smullen to speak to us about Food!!  An interesting topic, as long as I don’t have to cook it!  

The Primary School Speech Competition will be held on the 22nd October…next week…at Menzies Creek Primary School, in lieu of our regular meeting.  Please remember to bring along your promised supper item and come to support our amazing young speakers.  It’s really an entertaining night with diverse and thought provoking topics presented by confident young people.

The District Governor, Shia Smart, is very much looking forward to visiting our Club on the 29th October.  She told me she has her Halloween themed outfit all ready, but wouldn’t reveal any details!  I’m hoping our Club will get into the spirit of the night and come in some kind of costume.  That’s the beauty of Halloween - it can be anything, not always scary!  (Some might say we’re scary enough!  Lol!)

It’s World Polio Day on the 24th October.  If you would like an “End Polio Now” pin to recognise this day, please let me know.  We have them available for $2 each and the money raised will be contributed to our Polio fundraising.

Well, that’s about it from me for this week.  It’s a bit hectic in my personal world at the moment, so please excuse any extra blonde moments, things forgotten or neglected.  I want to thank all the Board Members who are being fantastic, simply getting “stuff done” and reminding me of bits need doing.  Thank you also, to all Club Members for their good humour and tolerance!!  Long may it last!!  

See you in the soup!

PS:  Wait!  What!?  You missed the Conundrum?  Oh, well, we can’t have that!

Rachel was sun bathing at a nude beach because she heard it was the best way to acquire an overall tan.  Day after day she was lying in the sun, yet couldn’t manage the complete tan.  What could she be doing wrong to prevent her from receiving the even tones she so desired?

JUST REMEMBER, YOU ASKED FOR IT!!!!

Rachel was so shy she never removed her bathing suit.
