‘Maureen’s Moments’

#40

Hi all

At last Monday night’s dinner meeting I had the great pleasure of inducting Bill Connell into the Rotary Club of Moe. Bill has been attending our weekly meetings as well as some of our social activities for the past couple of months and after showing a great deal of interest in our Club we invited him to become a member. Bill was quick to join in the banter of the evening at our fine session and also has volunteered to attend the Avenues of Service this weekend. Congratulations and well done Bill.

PP Len provided details of his bbq and snooker night to be held next Monday. The Inner Wheel ladies have been invited to assist with catering as well as stay and enjoy fellowship for the evening. I have also invited members of the Rotary Club of Trafalgar to join us. It should be a fun night and the start of another annual social event for our club with yet another ‘striking’ trophy up for grabs.

Peter announced that the Avenues of Service is scheduled for Sunday 29^th April. At this stage we have five members attending which is a great effort. If anyone else wishes to attend please contact Peter for further information.

Have a great weekend and see you all at Len’s place on Monday.

President Maureen

You're only as Old as You feel

We read in last week's bulletin of Jeanne Louise Calment, who had the longest confirmed human lifespan
on record: 122 years and 164 days.

In an interview shortly before she passed away, she made the following comments -

Being young is a state of mind; it doesn't depend on one's body.

I'm actually still a young girl - it's just that I haven't looked so god for the past 70 years.

I've only got one wrinkle and I'm sitting on it.I'm in love with wine.

Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life.

I see badly, i hear badly and I often feel bad, but everything's fine.

I have legs of iron, but to tell you the truth they're starting to rust and buckle a bit.

I took pleasure when I could,. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I am very lucky.

At the end of one interview, in response to a journalist who said he hoped they would meet again, she replied, "Why not? You're not that old, so you'll probably still be here.

February is Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month

Each year, Rotary selects up to 100 professionals from around the world to receive fellowships to study at one of six worldwide Rotary Peace Centers. In just over a decade, the Rotary Peace Centers have trained more than 1,000 fellows for careers in peace-building. Many of them are serving as leaders at international organizations or have started their own foundations.

Through academic training, practice, and global networking opportunities, the Rotary Peace Centers program develops leaders who become catalysts for peace and conflict prevention and resolution. These fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round-trip transportation, and all internship and field-study expenses.
