Len's Log 15
Once again we have had a busy week and there is more to come. Our Hat Day event was a great success, though I am nor sure what PDG Bryon’s hat was, it looked distinctly like a red back spider! BUT it could have been a strange Octopus?.
 
Congratulations on Roger’s Trivia Quiz and the way he conducted the fun. The old Teacher and Principal has not lost his edge! What a fun element to inject.
 
The Club Administration Committee met at the Bishop’s home in Trafalgar and a number of important points emerged as Chair Bryon will report to Club Assembly and the Board.
 
At my place on Tuesday night the high winds demolished my garden shed overnight and I would like to thank Pash for his help in cutting up the shed and removing same. I was going to demolish and replace it eventually but now I need to more urgently.
 
We are preparing for our events on the Saturday mornings as I send in Council Permits and Rotary District notifications (new requirements).
 
It is a wonder where Spring has gone so far, wet, wind and cold. We will soon be in Summer and let’s hope it does warm up.
 
Remember the Moe Cup event is coming as well as the Marigolds on Saturdays.
 
Our International team, led by Nathan will be off to our Bali School (Bunutan Number 3) for a refit of the boy’s toilets in the first week in November.
 
So things are happening and shaping up.

Stories
Report from Last week
Guest Speaker from last week - Mark Themann
 
Having lived in Switzerland, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and now residing in Yinnar, you would expect that the current Latrobe Regional Gallery director would be an interesting chap.
If so, you'd be quite right!
His talk, following the visit last week to the new Moe Library, has reintroduced our club to culture (what next Peter Kingsbury? A trip to the opera?) In fact, a future program for Peter to consider may be a visit through the Gallery followed by a Rotary dinner at the gallery cafe.
With anew website, a new technician, new up-to-date signage and revolutionary ideas, it seems LRG is certainly going ahead! Mark showed us several of the exhibitions which are on display in the facility's 7 galleries housed across 2 floors, with 850 metres of floor space. In addition, the ground floor is a sculpted courtyard.
Keep your eye out for the 2017 exhibitions including The Glass Collection, "MINE" from London's Tate Museum and Films and Video Art from South Africa.

After a 20 hr flight we arrived in Copenhagen and stayed for 2 nights.  Walked the streets for two days and found the longest shopping strip in the country!!  We are up to day 6 of our cruise and have visited Germany Lithuania Latvia Finland  and today in St Petersburg Russia. Every stop has been fantastic. We have walked heaps which is good as have eaten and drank lots as well.

DOGS...You gotta love them!
The last word - famous quotes about man's best friend -
 
Don't accept your dog's admiration is conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.
                                                                                                 - Ann Landon
 
Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like has never washed a dog.
                                                                                 - Franklin P Jones
 
If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven,
and very, very few persons.                                                                    - James Thurber 
 
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail, not his tongue.
                                                                                               - Unknown

Aussie No-Hopers:
 Last One:
"When my husband and I arrived at a car dealer to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's open !' 
His reply, 'I know - I already done that side.'
