Pres. Rosemary's Report - 21 June 2021

On Monday we celebrated our Pride of Workmanship evening as part of our Vocational Service program under the leadership of Edwina Ruff. It was a fabulous evening with many guests – Assistant Governor Robert Erskine, Councillor Vince del Gallego with his wife Malena, Councillor Alan Haselden and our guest speaker David Firth, the President of Pennant Hills Rotary.
Our two awardees Julie Loveridge from Black and White Conveyancing and ICOOLM, Andrew and Mark Peacock, were very worthy recipients and were well supported by their respective families. Be proud of your award as we were thrilled to honour you both.
Many partners and our visitors, Alex and Jocelyn Jugueta also enjoyed the camaraderie especially with Jim Simpson as our Sergeant. Thank you to Gwen and Colin Baxter for providing and arranging the beautiful camellias for table decorations. A magnificent evening all round.
Just one event to go – our Changeover next Sunday for lunch. It promises to be a great afternoon with both the District Governor and the District Governor Elect present. There will also be three members from Coonabarabran Rotary. Come along to celebrate the year that was and wish Keith and his board all the best for the new Rotary year. Dress is lounge suit/jacket with tie optional. See you at 12:30pm for 1:00pm start.
Stay warm and stay safe.

Night Report - 21st June
Night Report 21st June 2021
Jim Simpson (sergeant) opened the meeting with “good evening”. He got a lousy response, and said so (second time we were OK).
George gave the toast.
Pres. Rosemary welcomed all tonights guests for our Pride of Workmanship evening:
Andrew gave an update on the Book and Tool sale. Total sales was $1,386 less $115 costs for a net $1,271. Thanks to Colin S, the tool sales went well.
Tony Coote for Social and Membership. The Sydney Rowers at Abbotsford for lunch was enjoyed by many of us. Membership dinners/lunches will happen shortly. Please express your interest. The new Social committee will meet in July (tba). We are planning a trip away in Mar/Apr 2022. Membership is at 40.
Max advised that the date for the Trivia Night had to be changed, it is now Sat 18th Sept. Due to Covid we are limited to 200.
Keith for Club Services. Our changeover is 27th June, where the president and board members are changed for the new Rotary year. The 24th July is charter night for the Greater Hills Rotary Club. See Keith if you would like to attend.
Janelle for youth: I also went to Coonabarabran and met with the three girls, Megan, Laura and Sarah who we are sponsoring to go to the Santos Science Experience at UTS on 6-8 July. They are staying with Clarkes, Stanton and Cootes. We have also organised they go to SYMT performance of Addams Family, and go shopping at Macquarie. Janelle has loved being Director of Youth for the past 4 years, and moves to Club Services
Then Edwina introduced our guest speaker, David Firth, Pres. of RC Pennant Hills. Pride of Workmanship (POW) started in 1976 when we realised quality is essential. POW encourages pride of workmanship in all vocations by recognising employees who employ this concept. We started by distributing signs “do it once, do it well”. David then told a story of a mechanic who serviced the car of a heart surgeon. He said our jobs are very similar, we adjust and replace valves to make it run like new. So how come I earn $50k and you over a million? The surgeon replied “try doing it with the engine running”
Edwina thanked Colin Sharpe and Rosemary for their support with POW, and presented Rosemary with a medallion award as a thank you.
Janelle presented the first POW recipient, Julie Loveridge. Julie is the Proprietor and manager of Black & White Conveyancing based in Cherrybrook. Julie first started the company in 2000 having worked for more than 13 years in city-based legal firms specializing in conveyancing services. Julie employs local staff members and her company serves the needs of local residents and on occasions as far afield as Albury, Broken Hill and Tweed Heads. Julie is also a Justice of the Peace and provides many hours of assistance to local residents. In addition Julie and her family are an integral part of the community actively supporting local organizations including a local cycling group, soccer, football, netball, swimming, gymnastics and European Handball teams. Julie was nominated for this award because of the exceptional service she provides to her customers, colleagues and the community. She truly embraces Rotary’s 4 Way Test:
Julie is a genuinely worthy recipient of our Pride of Workmanship award - an award that gives recognition to employees and business owners where it is considered due. She is a shining example of the exceptional pride employees and business owners take in their jobs and someone who embodies the Rotary philosophy of service above self.
Julie thanked Janelle and Rotary for the award. She has lived in Cherrybrook for over 30years, has been involved in school fundraising, and even worked at Bunnings BBQs. The likes to “help with a smile, it is more than just a job”.
Pres. Rosemary introduced Andrew and Mark Peacock for their POW at ICOOLM Air Conditioning. This is a family owned business providing air conditioning services since 1991. They are renowned for quality and workmanship and the best possible service. They apply these principles whether installing a simple split system or a large ducted installation. Most of their business is from word of mouth from their highly satisfied customers. Three members of our club have recently had air conditioning systems installed by ICOOLM and each has been impressed with the service, professionalism, friendliness and tidiness of all of the team. Another POW award well deserved.
Edwina then called on councillor Vince Del Gallego and Councillor Alan Haselden to congratulate the recipients, and many photos were taken.
Colin Baxter congratulated Mark, on his choice of wife (Colin and Gwen’s daughter !!)
Rosemary thanked Edwina for organising the POW, and David Firth as guest speaker, councillor Vince Del Gallego and Councillor Alan Haselden for attending. Thank you to Alex and Jocelyn for visiting us again. Thank you to Gwen and Edwina for the beautiful flower arrangements, and to our wonderful sergeant Jim for his “eloquence”. Just one event to go – Changeover, lunch next Sunday at Springfield House. It promises to be a great afternoon with both DG and DGE present. Please ensure Keith knows if you are an apology. Dress is lounge suit/jacket, with tie optional.
The raffle was won by Jane Peacock. There was a brief fining session. Jim fined David for taking 5 minutes to explain to Jim that he had nothing to say re Foundation!!
John won the True/False
A great meeting!

Sydney Rowing Club Lunch 20 June
26 members and Partners spent a relaxing lunch at Watergrill at Sydney Rowing Club on Sunday. The rain held off (mostly) so most of us took the ferry from Rydalmere to Abbotsford. Its an interesting trip and a bit different arriving by boat. The food was good, the grog was on the expensive side, but overall it was fun and we would certainly go back. A special welcome to Alex and Jocelyn, who fitted into the group very well.

Club Changeover at Springfield House - 27 June
SYMT Presents "The Addams Family" on Friday 9 July
“The Addams Family” presented by Sydney Youth Musical Theatre at Hornsby RSL Club, 7:30pm on Friday 9 July 2021 Tickets $37.00.
The Addams Family have lived in their unique values for hundreds of years; however, the family encounters an unforeseen obstacle when Wednesday, now eighteen years old, decides to introduce her new “normal” boyfriend, Lucas Beineke, to the family. Wednesday has found herself experiencing a surprising new sensation, one that frightens both her and her family; she has fallen in love. In protest, Uncle Fester enlists the help of the Addam’s ancestors to call an end to the young budding romance. Morticia, Gomez and Pugsley worry about her changing ways. As the Addams and Beinekes come together for dinner one fateful evening, chaos ensues, and the two families find themselves admitting deep secrets and come together in ways they never would have imagined. The Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change. Guests welcome, eg grandchildren. As with previous productions the suggestion is we dine in the bistro prior to the show, say 6.00pm. Please make your payment ($37.00pp) into the club’s General Account by 30 June and identify your payment with your Surname and "SYMT". |

Humour of the week
Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement centre were sitting on a
bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says:'Slim, I'm 83 years old now and
I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?'
Slim says, 'I feel just like a newborn baby.'
'Really!? Like a newborn baby!?'
'Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.'
A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:
'So I hear you're getting married?' 'Yep!'
'Do I know her?
'Nope!'
'This woman, is she good looking?'
'Not really.'
'Is she a good cook?'
'Naw, she can't cook too well.'
'Does she have lots of money?'
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
'Well, then, is she good in bed?'
'I don't know.'
'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'
'Because she can still drive!'
Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, 'Windy, isn't it?'
Second one says, 'No, it's Thursday!'
Third one says, 'So am I. Let's go get a beer..'
A man was telling his neighbour, 'I just bought a new hearing aid.
It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art.. It's perfect.'
'Really,' answered the neighbor . 'What kind is it?'
'Twelve thirty..'
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'
One more. . ..!
A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlour and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.
After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'
'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis'

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.
