Len’s Log 25
 
Wow! We have reached halfway of the Rotary year!
 
A great first half, a number of changes, some small some potentially large. We will press on to have a top half year where our major fund raiser, the Charity Golf Day and associated raffle will be on again. With changes in our committee I am sure the great tradition of this event with lots of teams and many sponsors will continue. Wendy Farmer is heading up the committee on the Golf Day and we need everyone’s support to make it happen BIG!
 
Our Christmas event is this coming Monday 19th and we are all asked to dress up “Christmassy”, but there will only be one Santa.
 
We break from the 19th December till 9th January when we resume at the Botanic Gardens for our usual partners and all start to 2017!
 
I want to take this time to thanks all Rotarians in the Rotary Club of Moe for a great first half. We have, in the second half of the Rotary year, the challenge of bringing to out club new members, and the need to think and implement new ideas for additional fund raising for club projects to succeed.
 
So have a safe and celebratory Christmas and look forward to a terrific New Year for 2017.

Moe Rotary History
HISTORY OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF MOE
Year 1961-62
President   Ludy  Kelsen  wrote in his Annual Report –“ This Club has carried out many projects, some of reasonable magnitude but I would say our outstanding accomplishment would be the fellowship created amongst our members. This is borne out in the good attendance record of every member of  the Club. Without this fellowship we could never have achieved such success with our many projects”. The Club raised 260 pounds in October by means of a Jumble Sale. Two Paper Drives raised 40 pounds which was earmarked for the Benevolent Society and Retarded Children. Scholarships were awarded to the most worthy students from seven Moe Primary Schools and presented at a function held on the 11th December, with each bursary winner receiving 5 pounds 5 shillings. The Club continued its efforts to contact overseas Clubs and the hosting of Asian students for a weekend. During Foundation Week, International Committee members wrote to two Overseas Past Foundation Fellows each, asking what the year had done for them, five very informative replies were received. Membership 37 lost 3 Gained 4. Attendance  94.82%. Club won the attendance Trophy at Launceston.

President Len's Joke of the Week
The Perfect Man -
A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You’re just like Frank." 
Passenger: “Who?" 
Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He’s a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time." 
Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody." 
Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy." 
Passenger: "Sounds like he was really something special." 
Cabbie: "There’s more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody’s birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, andthe whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman could do everything right." 
Passenger: "Wow, what a guy!" 
Cabbie: ‘He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman." 
Passenger: "How did you meet him?" 
Cabbie: “I never actually met Frank. He died and I married his wife.
