Last week it was good to have a few more members back into the fold, including Ian Philips, Ian Ward, Dave Gillies, Bob Sorensen and Colin West. Another week with over 50% attendances and well attended committee meetings too! Things are starting to buzz for the Auction in particular, Tunarama coordination and plans for POW night.
It was a shorter week, and somewhat quieter for a change.
We have a few information notices in this week’s Bulletin on the website; namely ‘Riding for the Disabled’ which we support each year, has a fundraising dinner at Kallinyalla Nursery (Angus Street entrance) at 7.00 pm on Sat 14 November.
‘MIFSA; (Mental Illness Fellowship SA) a good cause which our club supports in Port Lincoln, as their Eyre Activity Program progresses with great results.
Finally, a free AMD screening program ‘Vision van’ for public screening and assessment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration amongst the over 50’s.
It just happens to be Mental Health Week in Australia, and while we may think of Australian Rotary Health’s mental illness research and awareness program, we can do our own bit locally as well, by helping to promote the wellbeing, assisting in the recovery, prevention of relapse by offering a wide range of opportunities for individuals to improve their ability to manage mental illness, all in a supportive environment.
I was invited as Rotary representative to the opening of the Mental Health Week Art Exhibition on Friday in the Rotary Gallery at the Civic Centre; an amazing collection of art by individuals and by group participation, created by those taking part in the Eyre Activity program at ‘Drop-in’, ‘Art Focus’, ‘Art Journey’ groups at Arteyrea or at home.
I recommend a visit to the gallery before Thursday 15th October. Don’t miss it!
Age Related Macular Degeneration is a progressive eye disease and the leading cause of blindness in Australia, for people over the age of 50. The gun is pointing in our collective direction, so why not take advantage of this free AMD Screening by booking an appointment when the van is in Port Lincoln on Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 November. Phone 1800 176 255 for your appointment
On Tuesday morning a small group of Rotarians are trying something new...catering at Ravendale… for a breakfast for about 30 people at SafeWork SA’s first local public consultation seminar, regarding the proposed new National Occupational Health and Safety regulations, which will eventually surpass the individual State’s governance. Net takings will go to our community projects fund. Thanks Jo, for the suggestion.
Next week we look forward to a good attendance of both members and guests at our Potential Members’ night. Barry Schultz is returning to our Club as Guest speaker.

The Luck of the Irish
A golfer playing in Ireland hooked his drive into the woods. Looking for his ball, he found a little Leprechaun flat on his back, a big bump on his head and the golfer's ball beside him. Horrified, the golfer got his water bottle from the cart and poured it over the little guy, reviving him.
'Arrgh! What happened?' the Leprechaun asked.
'I'm afraid I hit you with my golf ball,' the golfer says.
'Oh, I see. Well, ye got me fair and square. Ye get three wishes, so whaddya want?'
'Thank God, you're all right!' the golfer answers in relief. "I don't want anything, I'm just glad you're OK, and I apologize.'
And the golfer walks off.
'What a nice guy,' the Leprechaun says to himself. I have to do something for him. I'll give him the three things I would want...a great golf game, all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life.'
A year goes by and the golfer is back. On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into the woods and the Leprechaun is there waiting for him.
'Twas me that made ye hit the ball here,' the little guy says. 'I just want to ask ye, how's yer golf game?'
'My game is fantastic!' the golfer answers. I'm an internationally famous golfer now.' He adds, 'By the way, it's good to see you're all right.'
'Oh, I'm fine now, thank ye. I did that fer yer golf game, you know. And tell me, how's yer money situation?'
'Why, it's just wonderful!' the golfer states. 'When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket and pull out $100 bills I didn't even know were there!'
'I did that fer ye also.' And tell me, how's yer sex life?'
The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment, and says shyly, 'It's OK.'
C'mon, c'mon now,' urged the Leprechaun, 'I'm wanting to know if I did a good job. How many times a week?'
Blushing even more, the golfer looks around then whispers, 'Once, sometimes twice a week.'
'What??' responds the Leprechaun in shock. 'That's all? Only once or twice a week?'
'Well,' says the golfer, 'I figure that's not bad for a Catholic priest in a small parish.' |

The four way test
Of the things we think, say or do:
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned? |
|
Invocation:
For food, faith and fellowship and every opportunity of service we give you thanks O’Lord. |
