President Michael's Mumbles.

Well the time has come - this is my last president’s report for the year, and what a year we have had. It has been enjoyable working with a great team, of dedicated Rotarians.

This Monday will be change over, out with the old and in with the new. I hope all Moe Rotarians will be able to attend this special night and see the induction of President Elect Len become our new leader for the year.

I would like to wish Len and his team a wonderful and productive year. I also would like to thank every Rotarian for the opportunity to have served as your President for 2015-16.

P.S. I am still not counting the hours to changeover.

See you all Monday Night.

Michael

Easter Calculation

HOW TO CALCULATE WHEN EASTER WILL FALL.

Easter is always on the first Sunday after the first full moon, on or after the 21^st of March. The earliest possible date is the 22^nd of March. There are 35 possible dates, but Easter has not fallen on the earliest date since 1818 & will not do so again until 2285. The latest possible date is April 25^th, which happened in 1943 & will next fall on that date in 2038. It has been worked out that the cycle of Easter dates repeats after exactly 5,700,000 years, with April 19^th being the most common date, occurring 220,400 times. SIMPLE HUH?
