At the last meeting Induction of Joseph Sofia We were delighted to induct Joseph Sofia into our club. Joseph has been a long-time supporter of the club by advertising in the club bulletin and website for his wine distribution business. Joseph has indicated that he would be happy to support the clubs through donations on occasions. He is a vibrant member, who I am sure will make a strong contribution to our club. Market news Greg said we had between 30 to 32 stalls for this week’s market. The BBQ, led my Merve is revved up and ready to go. I trust we all participated at the market to the extent possible. Mike said that the social media had increased by 5 % from the last market. Joe said he would look into the possibility of a limited liquor licence for the market, so that wine could be sold at the BBQ area. The ever-changing Change Over The Change Over is presently scheduled for the 8th of July. We hope that there won’t be any changes to our meeting arrangements from Covid control measures. Memorial to David Buchanan Lyn said this was set for the 4th July at 11:00 am. After the ceremony there will be a lunch at the Dromana Hotel. Egg time Rob and Elaine have raised $600 for a school scholarship from Rob collecting the eggs and Elaine selling them. Since they started this project, they have raised over $2,500, which is really fantastic. Rob and Elaine are to be congratulated. Rob put out a challenge to all members to develop a small fund-raising project. Other Club Business Rick reported that he had received a reply from the Bays Hospital following our donation. We were saddened by the tragedy of a Rotary worker in Afghanistan. We should acknowledge the excellent work Rotary does around the world including the work to eradicate Polio. Secretary Bob said he has received requests for donations form Rotary Health, Rotary International and Peninsula Health. Mark indicated that RYPEN (Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment) is going to start again in the District. Mark indicated that he was involved the last time it ran and is prepared to assist those organising it this time. Harry distributed a list of members and their responsibilities after which he won the Lotto. I am not sure picked the winning disk to make this happen! The well-being of our members John had recently spoken to Adrian, who had an operation on his knee. Adrian is in a six-week period of rehabilitation. His family are helping move his furniture into storage and arranging to make minor modifications to his new house. Ray condition has remained much the same. We wish both members a speedy recovery On the lighter side ... Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar. On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present. A foolish husband says to his wife, "Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin' and scrubbin'. No wife of mine is gonna work." Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders. Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it |
