President Michael's Mumbles.

Big thank you to President Robert Moe Lions for hosting the combined service club meeting at Leggies last Tuesday, it was well attended by Moe Rotarians and Apex.

What a fantastic Sunday it was thank you Sandra and Pash for organizing Sunday lunch. The food was fantastic at East Bar and Dining Restaurant what a great Chef Michael is, Sandra and Pash can be very proud. After the 7 course meal and drinks I am sure I put an extra couple of kilos on, but it was worth it.

The count down is on now with little over a month to go for our change over dinner, every one is working very hard to get this done. Reminder to all club chairs, to get your reports to our Club Secretary Maureen.

See you all Monday Night.

Michael

Urgent Appeal

The Board on Monday evening ratified the motion tabled that the Club support Fiji by making a donation of $3000 to Disaster Aid Australia.

Cyclone Winston has left more than 40 people confirmed dead, with some 14,000 people sheltering in 274 evacuation centres around Fiji.

The UN reports that hundreds of homes and many schools and ital infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed.

Disaster Aid International (Aust.) is working to provide desperately needed aid to Fijians after the cyclone’s horrendous devastation. That includes liaising with our Rotary contacts and agencies in that country. Aid groups and government authorities are now racing to deal with a critical need for clean water, health supplies and emergency accommodation.

Our donation will help Disaster Aid International (Aust.) respond with Family Survival Packs, Home Repair Kits and, most importantly SkyHydrant™ water purification systems and Sawyer water filters.

Comedians Favourite Jokes

Oirish Vasectomy.

After having their 11th child, an Irish couple decided that that was enough, as they couldn't afford a larger bed. So the husband went to his doctor and told him that he and his wife didn't want to have any more children ...

The doctor told him there was a procedure called a vasectomy that would fix the problem but it was expensive. A less costly alternative was to go home, get a large firecracker, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10.

The husband said to the doctor, "B'Jayzus, I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I don't see how putting a firework in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me with my problem."
"Trust me, it will do the job", said the doctor.

So the man went home, lit a cracker and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count:
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5," at which point he paused, and placed the beer can between his legs so he could continue counting on his other hand.

This procedure also works in New Zealand and Tasmania
