Well.... here we go again... no meeting and socialising thanks to COVID
A message from the President
The Directors trust that Members are managing OK with the current enforced holiday break - please give us a call if you need help of any sort or just want to catch up and chat.
The Directors & Trustees kept the Club engine room running by meeting this week to deal with ongoing business, but used technology to meet up via Zoom. Thanks to all who continue to assist our Club by serving on our various committees and projects.
The Club has decided to make a $5,000 contribution to the Fraser Park Trust for the planned $7.8m multi-sport stadium development at Fraser Park. Members may also wish to contribute to this project and can either do so directly or assist towards the Clubs donation.
The Club will again support a young person to attend Rotary Youth Leader Award (RYLA) in Queenstown in early 2022. If any club member knows of a young person who would benefit from this experience, please contact Tony Brien for details.
What will we miss this week?
Suggested replacement: A zoom dinner date.
Our Quiz night. Yes, we were planning for a rip-roaring quiz night, alas, it will have to wait.
What we will not miss this week?
No fines.
A so-called investment in wine
And as usual, some laughs to keep you going while locked down.
“Tell me, Johnnie,” said his teacher, “if your father borrowed $100 and promises to pay $10 a week, how much will he owe in 7 weeks?”. “One hundred dollars,” said Johnnie. “I’m afraid you don’t know your lesson very well,” remarked the teacher. “I may not know my lesson,” said Johnnie, “but I know my father.”
Judge: “Now, madam, please tell the court all that passed between you and your husband during this quarrel.” Mrs. Jones: “Your honour, I can not remember everything, but I’m sure there was the rolling pin, three plates, and the stove lifter."
As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife’s voice urgently warning him, “Herman, I just heard on the news that there’s a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77. Please be careful!” ”Heck”, said Herman, “It’s not just one car. It’s hundreds of them!”
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor’s permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.
Will we drop to level 2 on Saturday... or is that just wishful thinking?
