President Michael's Mumbles.

Last week we had club assembly, all chairs reported on their ongoing projects and all is going well ready to hand over to incoming President Len. A good discussion was held with more localized projects in Moe and Newborough this was well received by all the Rotary. The year is fast coming to an end, please ensure, all reports are handed in to Maureen as soon as possible.

I am looking forward to the playground presentation on Monday night; this will give a better understanding of what is available and costing’s.

Please be aware we only have three more meeting until our change over on the 27^th June, but I am not counting. lol

See you all Monday Night.

Michael

Hutchy's Joke of the Week

A pirate walked into a bar, and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't
seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible."
"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before.."
"Well," said the pirate, "We were in a battle, and I got hit with a
cannon ball, but I'm fine now."
The bartender replied, "Well, OK, but what about that hook? What
happened to your hand?"
The pirate explained, "We were in another battle. I boarded a ship
and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a
hook but I'm fine, really."
"What about that eye patch?"
"Oh," said the pirate, "One day we were at sea, and a flock of birds
flew over. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye."
"You're kidding," said the bartender. "You couldn't lose an eye just
from bird crap."
"It was my first day with the hook."
