Ronald McDonald House - Meal From The Heart |
|
We have been asked to provide a Meal From The Heart on Fri 20th July. Ross Ballinger has some volunteers, but if you would like to help please give him a call.
We will require 10-12 people at 3.30pm sharp
Duties will include preparing and cooking the food under direction of the chef, helping to serve the meal from bay-maries and cleaning up.
The meal time goes from 6pm to approx. 7-30 and the likely number to cater for is about 200. We can have a meal with the guests of the house. We can no longer provide grog for those in the house (they may bring their own as we can).
After dinner we can run a bingo session for the entertainment of the guests. Say 7.00 to 8.00pm.
The house is located behind the previous house. Turn left just after as you cross the bridge in Redbank Rd Northmead before the previous house and it’s the 3 story building on the left. There is limited parking underneath so the suggestion is to car pool where possible. Take the lift to the reception. Use the intercom to gain access.

PS: I hear that Ronald McDonald himself may be making an appearance!

Rotary Leadership Institute: the first course for 2018-19 is now open. RLI 48 starts on Saturday 4th August and concludes on the 25th August 2018. The club will pay the cost ($75). The two-part course is held at our District Office, Thornleigh. Morning tea and lunch are provided. Each day starts at 8:00 for 8.15am and finishes around 4.00pm. From experience I can thoroughly recommend this course. Here is what recent graduates had to say “Highly recommend RLI to all Rotarians whether new or old. The Rotary experience will be better for all of those trained in RLI.” Six members present tonight have done the course and all found it an extremely valuable experience.
Assembly. I thank the eleven members responded to the homework request as preparation for developing a SWOT analysis of the club and reviewing the current Club vision. A revised version of the current vision was adopted. The next step is for a small group to develop a set of goals and action plans for the next three years. The Goals and Plans will be circulated to members for endorsement or change.
Public relations. Thank you to Carol for getting yet another article into local newspapers – Dooral Roundup this time with an article about changeover and a photo of Anna, Anne and the cowgirls.
Keith will be standing in for me next week, and Ricardo for Rosemary.
Until we meet again on Monday July 23 for more fun and fellowship, have a great week.

Night Report 16th July
Sergeant Rosemary opened the meeting and welcomed us along before handing over to President Colin. See his report for what he said.
The Dooral Roundup for July, 2018 featured a full page article and photograph of some of our very supportive PRT ladies Jill Turnbull, Gwen Baxter and Pamela Makin, along with our President Colin and his wife Anne, about our Change Over night. Thanks should go to the Editor Diana Paton for her ongoing support to our club in publishing our “news” to the public.
Directors Reports.
Membership Committee Tony Coote advised the first meeting for the new year had been held and matters discussed were Retention of existing members, Tools available for new members, Publicity and how best to handle this medium via Social media and the print media. We have 400 followers on our FaceBook page now and Andrew Little has volunteered to maintain and grow this number.
A survey of members would be held to gauge the feel of the club at present.
Guidelines for Mentors of new members to be produced.
Treasurers Report
Paul is getting into the swing of things in his new Treasury role and thanked everyone for their support.
A new system is to be implemented to allow for customers at Book Sale/Garage sale etc to pay for their purchases with SQUARE, which is a small electronic device, that essentially does the same job as a mobile Card machine, but less expensive to set up and operate, It will be trialled first at a dinner meeting the at a Bunnings BBQ before use at larger fundraising events.
Club Services Cawas.... Roar and Soar – it was noted that we needed to partner with another Rotary Club for this project. Further on this later.
Club Assembly The topic was club vision and goals. A separate confidential report will be provided giving the SWOT results received. The SWOT will be used to develop 3 year goals. A new vision was agreed to.
“ Our Rotary Club helps people and groups in need, within our community and internationally. We value fellowship and
support for each other."
It is a modification of our current one.
Youth Protection – State Government Working With Children (WWC) accreditation. Tony Makin advised that most of us were already accredited in this regard, however a few still needed to be followed up and would be contacted. It is a mandatory requirement of Rotary particularly for project such as when we visit Ronald McDonald house, or any time we are in the public domain as a club, those dealing with Exchange Students, the host parents, their partners and any other adult living in a home where a student is accommodated. In addition to the WWC accreditation the Rotary insurers require an additional form (Form 3) that only some club members, partners, adult family living at home will need to complete. Our President and Secretary will be contacting those people and will help them complete the form. Form 3 will be required by exchange student host parents/family, any Rotary person transporting or being present on their own for any other purpose with a young person. Without the Form 3 there must now be another adult of the opposite sex present. Rotary’s Insurers needed to know that all members are fine upstanding citizens with no blotches on our record. Three referee’s are required to be noted and will be phoned to check credibility of the person noted on the form.

This Week's Humour
Therapist
|
After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counselling. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured.
Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched – with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said. “This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this? “Well, I can drop her off here on Monday and Wednesday… but I fish on Fridays!!” |

Different Ways of Looking at Things
|
Two guys were discussing popular family trends on sex, marriage, and family values.
Bill said, 'I didn't sleep with my wife before we got married, did you?' Larry replied, 'I'm really not sure, what was her maiden name? _____________________________________________________ A little boy went up to his father and asked: 'Dad, where did my intelligence come from?' The father replied. 'Well, son, you must have got it from your mother, cause I still have mine.' _____________________________________________________ 'Mr. Clark, I have reviewed this case very carefully,' the divorce Court Judge said, 'And I've decided to give your wife $775 a week.' 'That's very fair, your honor,' the husband said. 'And every now and then I'll try to send her a few bucks myself.' _____________________________________________________ A doctor examining a woman who had been rushed to the Emergency Room, took the husband aside, and said, 'I don't like the looks of your wife at all.' 'Me neither doc,' said the husband. 'But she's a great cook and really good with the kids.' _____________________________________________________ An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse he has been living with for the last 40 years. The Wizard says, 'Maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you.' The old man says without hesitation, 'I now pronounce you man and wife.' _____________________________________________________ Two Reasons Why It's So Hard To Solve A Redneck Murder: 1. The DNA all matches. 2. There are no dental records. _____________________________________________________ A blonde calls Delta Airlines and asks, 'Can you tell me how long it'll take to fly from San Francisco to New York City?' The agent replies, 'Just a minute.' 'Thank you,' the blonde says, and hangs up. _____________________________________________________ Two Mexican detectives were investigating the murder of Juan Gonzalez. 'How was he killed?' asked one detective. 'With a golf gun,' the other detective replied. 'A golf gun! What is a golf gun?' 'I don't know. But it sure made a hole in Juan.' _____________________________________________________ Moe: 'My wife got me to believe in religion.' Joe: 'Really?' Moe: 'Yeah. Until I married her I didn't believe in Hell.' _____________________________________________________ A man is recovering from surgery when the Surgical Nurse appears and asks him how he is feeling. 'I'm O. K. But I didn't like the four letter-words the doctor used in surgery,' he answered. 'What did he say,' asked the nurse. 'Oops!' _____________________________________________________ While shopping for vacation clothes, my husband and I passed a display of bathing suits. It had been at least ten years and twenty pounds since I had even considered buying a bathing suit, so I sought my husband's advice. 'What do you think?' I asked. 'Should I get a bikini or an all-in-one?' 'Better get a bikini,' he replied 'You'd never get it all in one.' He's still in intensive care. _____________________________________________________ The graveside service just barely finished, when there was massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance... The little old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, 'Well, she's there.' Tony C
