Trivia Night
.Save the date - Saturday 27th August 2016.
We are holding our annual trivia night on Saturday 27 August 2016 at the Cherrybrook Community Centre.
Save the date!
As with last year, it will be an enjoyable and affordable night at only $20.00 per person (no extra costs re the trivia rounds) with the only optional extras being a raffle and a separate activity at intermission (gold coin nearest the bottle).
Invite all your friends and relatives and start putting tables of 8 together (can accommodate 10 at a stretch).
We had around 200 people attend last year and we are targeting an additional row of 5 tables this year to get up to a record 240 people.
Last year we raised around $5,000 from the trivia night, so let’s all work on filling all 30 tables this year and beat last year’s total!
Steve Sims will be the quiz master again this year and we will have a new MC this year as Jim Simpson will be away.
You will have to guess who he is (Hint - he loves to have a microphone in his hand!).
We will start putting out lists at the meeting on Monday 18 July, which is a partner’s night.
Whilst we have asked all the local Probus Clubs and Rotary clubs to promote the trivia night at their meetings, we would like members to send the attached flyer to as many people as possible so that the trivia night gets maximum publicity.
For all the latest developments a website page has been developed by Andrew Little. Link

President's Report 11th July 2016
A fantastic evening for our first partner’s night! Thank you to all those members who brought their partners. It was lovely to see Ricardo again as well as Julian Savio and Breana. We look forward to welcoming Charlie and partner Rob next week at our first induction of the year.
John Ebbott from Care Flight enlightened us as to the workings and support needed for Care Flight. We were amazed at how many people are helped when needing critical care as well as those repatriated from overseas. It was a timely reminder to all our travellers to make sure they take out travel insurance before leaving home. John’s presentation was very slick, informative and well done.
It was fun to find out a little more about Barry Freeman’s life. We now know he was blown away on a tennis court at Eastwood by the appearance of Joanie just a few years ago! He enjoys helping people and may I say he does that particularly well. Thank you Barry.
Sarah Zehnder our exchange student arrives early on Friday morning. A few of us will be at the airport to meet her and hopefully she will be at our meeting next week depending on jetlag!
Please let Andrew Little know how many tables you want for our Trivia night. It’s a good opportunity to ask friends and neighbours to enjoy a fun evening at only $20 pp.
Next Monday we find out about Aged Care as well as welcoming Charlie and Rob to our club. Charlie will also be doing her member talk then so we have a great opportunity to find out about our newest member.
Stay safe and healthy.

Night Report 18th July 2016
President Rosemary Clarke welcomed everyone, including guests Charlie & Rob McCartney, Ricardo Raad, Julian and Brianna and our guest speaker from CareFlight, John Ebbott.
Tonight is Barry Freeman’s first night as sergeant.
Charlie McCartney will be inducted next Monday 25 July.
President Rosemary attended the district zone meeting last Friday, where Keith Ball was complemented for his excellent work in developing the club web site.
Max Henderson was congratulated for securing gold sponsorship from the West Pennant Hills Sports Club.
Partners who have not completed Working With Children check will need to complete this if they want to have the new exchange student visit their homes.
The PRT team were introduced – Glenda Coote, Jeanette Roberts and Margaret McGowan.
Colin McGowan is the Club’s welfare officer and Sarah Zendher, our new exchange student arrives Friday morning.
The Rotary Fact for the night was on Women in Rotary. Until 1989, the Constitution and Bylaws of Rotary International stated that Rotary club membership was for males only. In 1978 the Rotary Club of Duarte, California, invited three women to become members. The RI board withdrew the charter of that club for violation of the RI Constitution. The club brought suit against RI claiming a violation of a state civil rights law which prevents discrimination of any form in business establishments or public accommodations. The appeals court and the California Supreme Court supported the Duarte position that Rotary could not remove the club's charter merely for inducting women into the club. The United States Supreme Court upheld the California court indicating that Rotary clubs do have a "business purpose" and are in some ways public-type organizations. This action in 1987 allowed women to become Rotarians in any jurisdiction having similar "public accommodation" statutes.
The RI constitutional change was made at the 1989 Council on Legislation, with a vote to eliminate the "male only" provision for all of Rotary.
Director’s Reports
Keith Ball – a number of members who used to read the bulletin as a pdf have commented that they are happy with the recent change with the bulletin now on one single page on the web site which looks and reads like a pdf. It takes 3 hours to produce a pdf from the web pages and Keith has now found a way to archive the single bulletin web page and hence there is no longer a need to produce a pdf version for archiving reasons. Keith is happy to show anyone who wants to know how it works.
Janelle Craig – went to a Rotary Youth Exchange district forum. One of the experiences shared at the forum for the exchange student to get to know members was to invite them to dinner on a Friday night. This could be at home, at a restaurant, Swan’s game, etc. A roster will be put out for members to sign up. An email will be sent out on this.
Tony Coote – Janelle Craig, Rosemary, Glenda & Tony Coote are going out to the airport on Friday morning to meet Sarah. If anyone else would like to come along, please let Tony know. Everyone will then go back to Janelle’s house afterwards.
Youth night on 15 August, which is a partner’s night. Sarah will give her first talk, as well as the returning winter RYPEN student. Anna Laroumanie (outgoing exchange student) and her parents will also be there.
There is a meeting at Tony Coote’s house on Wednesday 20 July to plan for the upcoming Probus meeting. The main meeting will be at the West Pennant Hills Sports Club on 27 July 10am for a 10.30am start. All members and partners interested in joining up please come along. The name for the new club was going to be Combined Probus Club of the Hills, but this was not approved and hence the new name is now The Combined Probus Club of West Pennant Hills and District.
Lynch Syndrome Australia sent a thank you letter for the donation of $3,500 which will be used for communication purposes with families that are at risk from Lynch Syndrome.
Barry Freeman – The trivia night is being held on Saturday 27 August and the attendance list has now been put out for members and partners to indicate that they will be coming along and supporting this very important fundraising event. At $20 per head it will be a great night of entertainment. Last year there were 24 tables and we are aiming for 30 tables this year. Please book as soon as possible and bring your friends/relatives along and book a table!

Their mission is:
· Save lives
· Speed recovery

This Weeks Humour
Something for the person who has everything:
Soon it will become compulsory for senior citizens to carry not only an ID, but also insurance documents, prescription list, a compact version of the medical file, and the statement declaring if they want to be (or not) resuscitated after a heart attack, stroke, etc.
Consequently, a great deal of paperwork will have to be carried when a senior citizen (yep - you know who that is) goes out the front door.
For this specific user group and purpose, the "Senior USB Stick" has been developed.
