Duty Roster
With COVID lockdowns now ending and even more restrictions being eased, effective 08/11/2021, we appreciate that many Club members may be eager to get out and about and take the chance to have a holiday. So, if you are going to be absent from meetings and events in the months up until July next year, please notify Janelle via email.
Equally now that we are back to face-to-face meetings at Springfield it’s important that we get back into the swing of advising Frank of numbers attending by the Thursday prior to Monday meetings. As per our existing RSVP procedures, if you are not attending you need to advise Ros Hogan otherwise you will be charged the cost of the meal.
Thanks for your patience and understanding with these matters – it’s all part of adjusting to life post COVID!

Cawas: we are scheduled on Bunnings BBQs 3rd April and 15th May. For both we need additional volunteer for pm shift – talk to Kerry.

Video here please Andrew

<end script>
A video was shown of the 4 students from Coonabarabran High who will be attending Santos Science Experience where each candidate introduced themselves and spoke of there interests.
Then Harishan spoke of his amazing NYSF experience. He mentioned he took an interest in biology which previously he didn’t enjoy. Te speakers were excellent… “thank you, Rotary”
Winnie Yip, now a Rotarian, and also on District RYE Committee then spoke of the youth programs she has been involved in and how that led to her involvement in Rotaract and now Rotary. She discussed the restart of the RYEP after covid, how they are hoping to send 5 candidates to South America and maybe Japan from Jan2023 – looking for applicants (year 10 or 11, 15 year age or over). In Jul2020 we were meant to receive students from mainly Europe, which was cancelled. We are hoping for 10 or more students in Jul2023.
Rosemary commented that it will be hard for us to get into local schools to promote the program, so we may not send any in Jan2023.
Pres. Keith thanked Rosemary and Janelle for an excellent night, and for the guests attending. Next meeting is at Springfield, Dr Peter Gangemi - Mayor of Hills Shire
Max concluded the meeting with a number of True/False trivia questions

Rosemary: gave a brief account of our youth activities (below is the script from Rosemary):
- A quick “walk down memory lane” of our club’s activities in Youth
- RYE – Rotary Youth Exchange -Our first exchange student arrived in 1988 from the USA and our first outbound went to Japan. Since then, we have had 24 inbound students from 14 countries, and we have sent 20 students to 16 countries. Hopefully RYE will recommence next year. We have Katherine Louey with us tonight. Katherine was our last outbound student to Austria but unfortunately Covid putan early end to that.
- RYLA – Rotary Youth Leadership Awards – We joined this program in 1994
- RYPEN – Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment – We joined this program in 1990 and have supported it for most years since then with a Winter RYPEN being added in 2017.
- MUNA – Model United Nations Assembly - We joined this program in 2001 and took on the district hosting role from 2003 to 2005. Cherrybrook Tech High School made it to finals in Canberra a couple of times.
- NYSF – National Youth Science Forum – We were successful with our first applicant in 1993. Since then, we have sponsored many young people including Harishan who is here tonight.
- Operation Hope at Vision Valley – many children have been sponsored to this camp however the format has now changed.
- Local schools- over the years we have completed projects at 4 schools – John Purchase, Oakhill Drive, St Gabriels and West Pennant Hills, run BBQs, and donated prize money for citizenship awards. We participated in Mock Interviews at Pennant Hills High.
- This club cosponsored The Rotaract Club of Pennant Hills and Cherrybrook recently
- School Art Competition – for several years we conducted an art competition instigated by Clive Denmark using the Rotary theme for the year. Prizes were donated by many sponsors including Eckersleys.
- School debating and the 4 Way Test Speaking competitions round out the list.
- I’m sure I have missed many others, but this gives you an idea of our club’s huge involvement in Youth programs.
- Santos Science Experience – If you, recall we sponsored 3 students from Coonabarabran to attend this course last year. Unfortunately, Covid put a stop to that, but we have credit for 3 students. Janelle was contacted by the Science teacher in Coonabarabran to say they had 4 students who would love to attend this year’s program. We only have to pay for one more student which I think would be fabulous. Don’t you all think so? Raise your hand if you agree.
Video here please Andrew
We hope to meet and host Jack, Josie, Keira and Emma in the September/ October holidays.
- National Youth Science Forum - YSF – Harishan Nirumalin - Harishan was to attend the program in Canberra in January, but unfortunately Covid sent it online. We are pleased to have Harishan here today, with the support of his dad, to tell us about his experience and what is hopefully to come. Welcome Harisha.
- Rotaract – The club was looking forward to our face-to-face meeting involving a meal. From personal experience I know that the promise of food does it every time! Unfortunatel they were not able to attend our zoom meeting. The newley elected Pennant Hills/Cherrybrook Rotaract Club committee is:
- President: Stephanie King sharing with Elaine Lin
- Treasurer: Maheeta Weerasuriya
- Secretary/Public officer: Jason Terry
- Membership: Lyn Wang
- PR Officer: Jason Terry
- Events: Samprithi Raja
- Rotary Youth Exchange – We were hoping to have Katherine Louey join us today but unfortunately Katherine has just been in hospital, so we wish her all the best for her recovery. If you remember Katherine was our last outbound student who went to Austria with the exchange cut short due to Covid.

Street Libraries Update
You may have noticed that street libraries are springing up in peoples’ gardens, especially if you have been doing a lot of walking as we have during the lockdown. It seems that the Board noticed too. They decided that it would be nice to have one, two, three - make it four at various locations.
A suitable design was sourced – like the one at the end of New Line Road but taller to accommodate a shelf.
Cawas provided some marine ply courtesy of mates’ rates at Bunnings and I went to Bunnings and Mitre10 about a dozen times to purchase the other bits.
So with the help of Peter and Tony we assembled the structures, I painted them and Colin Sharpe provided some polycarbonate for the windows. It took a while but they came together well.
Now we needed a post to fix them to. Bunnings had some woofy posts designed for post boxes but Mitre10 came up with galvanised beasts suitable as a foundation for a tower block.
An erection team was organised of David, George, Keith, Bob and me and we burst into action like a well oiled machine – well actually more like a council work gang with one person doing all the work and rest watching. We decided that Bev’s place was a good place to start since it is a relatively quiet street.
Bob came up with a crowbar the size of a tooth pick and we set about digging a hole in the incredibly hard ground. At about 400mm we decided to stop before we encountered a 33kV cable and set up the post in lots of rapid setting concrete.
Bev provided an excellent morning tea while we waited for the concrete to go hard.
Finally we lugged the box into place and bolted it down.
The only thing missing is the Rotary sign. This has been ordered and will be fixed later. It is large enough for the Amazon astronauts to read it on their next trip.
Colin Sharpe did a nice job of fixing his to his letter box and even painted the inside (they had already had two coats of lacquer but the paint is a nice touch and we fully expect Anne to install curtains).
Next week the council work gang is reassembling to install Carol’s library.
Thanks to the team and thanks to Bev, Carol and Colin Sharpe for providing the locations. The fourth will be fixed at the Uniting Church when Neville returns from wherever he is this week.

Jokes About Men
A LOT OF JOKES ABOUT BLONDE FEMALES FLOAT AROUND THE INTERNET BUT SOME MAY BE SURPRISED THAT THERE IS A WHOLE GROUP OF JOKES ABOUT MEN THAT MANY DO NOT SEE.
ENJOY THIS OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN.
One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, 'What setting do I use on the washing machine?'
'It depends,' I replied. 'What does it say on your shirt?
'He yelled back, ' Brisbane Broncos !'
And they say blondes are dumb...
A couple is lying in bed. The man says, 'I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world...'
The woman replies, 'I'll miss you.......
'It's just too hot to wear clothes today,' Jack says as he stepped out of the shower. 'Honey, what do you think the neighbours would think if I mowed the lawn like this?'
'Probably that I married you for your money,' she replied.
Q: What do you call an intelligent, good looking, sensitive man?
A: A rumour
Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; and Patience for his moods.
Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death.
AMEN
Q: Why do little boys whine?
A: They are practising to be men.
Q: What do you call a handcuffed man?
A: Trustworthy.
Q: What does it mean when a man is in your bed gasping for breath and calling your name?
A: You did not hold the pillow down long enough.
Q: Why do men whistle when they are sitting on the toilet?
A: It helps them remember which end to wipe..
Q: How do you keep your husband from reading your e-mail?
A: Rename the email folder 'Instruction Manuals'
While creating husbands, God promised women that good and ideal husbands would be found in all corners of the world.........
......then He made the earth round, and laughed and laughed and laughed.
Send this to at least five bright, funny women you know and make their day!
And send this to five bright men who have enough sense of humour to take it!
.... and then pass it on to their partners ....

What it takes to be a Rotarian
There are members of the community who may have some misunderstandings about what it takes to be a Rotarian.
We are always looking for new members and, in fact, it is new people joining that keeps us alive as a Service club. From time to time I hear people say things that make me think they don't consider joining or even visiting Rotary for all the wrong reasons.
This article is about the things you don't need to join Rotary, and the things you do, just in case you are not sure. The other thing you should know is that we are a very friendly bunch of men and women and we have a lot of fun, as well as achieving some pretty good things in the community.
