Congratulations to Erik Willison Erik has been successful in securing a placement in an upcoming event, the National Youth Science Forum, a twelve-day residential programme held in January at the University of Queensland and Australian National University Canberra. Erik received a sponsorship grant from the Government’s Department of Industry, Innovation and Science under the ‘Inspiring Australia - Science Engagement Programme’. The West Pennant Hills/Cherrybrook Rotary Club were also very generous in providing additional financial support for Erik and endorsing his application for which he is incredibly grateful. We wish him luck and look forward to the stories he will return with in 2018.

Award winning Gin / Vodka & Liqueurs
It’s here that we grow and handpick the botanicals that give our gin its distinctive character. We reckon the fresher the botanicals the more fragrant the gin. And it’s that scent that we love most. It’s why we use ‘enfleurage’, a thousand-year-old technique, to extract the purest perfume from our hero botanical, Murraya, without the use of heat. This makes the delicate Murraya come alive, with cues of Jasmine, Honeysuckle and Orange Blossom. It’s all about capturing our ingredients as purely as possible. Distilling the essence of our summer garden and delivering it perfectly to yours. We call it Garden Grown Gin.

December is Disease Prevention and Treatment Month
Our health is everything. Yet 400 million people in the world can’t afford or don’t have access to basic health care. We believe good health care is everyone’s right.
|
Disease results in misery, pain, and poverty for millions of people worldwide. That’s why treating and preventing disease is so important to us. We lead efforts both large and small. We set up temporary clinics, blood donation centers, and training facilities in underserved communities struggling with outbreaks and health care access. We design and build infrastructure that allows doctors, patients, and governments to work together.
Our members combat diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and polio. Prevention is important, which is why we also focus on health education and bringing people routine hearing, vision, and dental care.

HOW ROTARY MAKES HELP HAPPEN
Disease does not prevent itself. We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases. Rotary members have hundreds of health projects underway around the world at any given time.

The Garage Sale
We have just had our best and most successful Garage Sale on the weekend of 7&8 October raising a record gross - north of $35k.
Excellent Project Management and a large number of dedicated volunteers, some putting in hours of effort, in the weeks before the weekend contributed to this result.

Ian Roberts was made a Paul Harris Fellow (PHF). Some background for our guests and newer Rotarians. The presentation of Paul Harris Fellow recognition is The Rotary Foundation's way of expressing its appreciation for a substantial contribution to its humanitarian and educational programs. It is named for the founder of Rotary, Paul Harris, a Chicago lawyer who started Rotary International with three business associates in 1905.
A PHF award requires a contribution of $1000USD to the Rotary Foundation either by a Rotarian or a club. The Foundation carries out an array of programs that achieve beneficial changes in our world: improved living conditions, increased food production, better education, wider availability of treatment and rehabilitation for the sick and disabled, new channels for the flow of international understanding, and brighter hopes for peace. For instance, Foundation donations have wiped out 99.9 percent of all polio cases. In the case of polio each dollar that the Foundation donates receives another $2 from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent $3 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. More than 90 percent of donations go directly to supporting our service projects around the world.
Rotarians often designate a Paul Harris Fellow as a tribute to a person whose life demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives of The Rotary Foundation or Rotarians or even non-Rotarians, who have made a significant contribution to the club and its activities.
Tonight we have the honour and pleasure of recognizing Ian Roberts as he becomes a Paul Harris Fellow. Ian is a past member of this club who resigned due to ill health in June. Ian has been designated by this Club’s Board to receive this recognition as a special expression of appreciation for his contribution to setting the accounting system that the club uses and which is commended by the auditor for its simplicity. Furthermore, Ian and Jeanette continue to support the club as Friends of Rotary.
It gives me great pleasure, Ian, to present to you the two emblems of appreciation given to a Paul Harris Fellow certificate, and pin. Please accept our congratulations. Jeanette was presented a bunch of flowers by Anne Sharpe.
I remind stewards that their duty is not completed until pack-up is complete.
Thank you all for coming tonight and have an enjoyable week making a difference until we meet next Monday.

This Week's Humour
Jeweler's
A balding, white haired man walked into a jewelry store this past
Friday evening with a beautiful, much younger, woman at his side.
Hetold the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend.
The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.'
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought
another ring over. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000', the jeweler said.
The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement.
The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.'
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated,
'By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now
and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds; I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon.'
On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said
'Sir...There's no money in that account.
''I know,' said the old man...'But let me tell you about my weekend.’

Male Logic
After 10 years the wife starts to think their child looks kind of strange.
So she decides to do a DNA test.
She finds out that the child is actually not theirs but is from completely different parents.
Wife: "Honey I have something serious to tell you."
Husband: "What's up?"
Wife: "According to the test DNA results that I have had done, it turns out that this is not our baby I gave birth to!"
Husband: "Yeah. Well you don't remember do you? When we were leaving the hospital, you noticed that our baby had poohed in its nappy.
You said to me:" Please go change the baby. I'll wait for you in the car".
So I went inside, left the dirty one there and got a clean one!"

AGE IDENTITY
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CANT LOOK THAT OLD? WELL......YOULL LOVE THIS ONE!
MY NAME IS ALICE SMITH AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DENTAL DIPLOMA, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.
SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY SECONDARY SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO.
COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?
UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT.
THIS BALDING, GREY HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS FAR TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL .
YES, YES I DID. IM A MORGANNER! HE BEAMED WITH PRIDE.
WHEN DID YOU LEAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE? I ASKED
HE ANSWERED, IN 1965. WHY DO YOU ASK?
YOU WERE IN MY CLASS! I EXCLAIMED.
HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.
THEN THE UGLY,
