TONIGHT’S MEETING – Tues 14 Dec 2010 – Youth Exchange Update from Henni Niemi and as well we will have a visit from Kay Morris and friends.
Henni will report on the first half of her 1 year stay in Australia as she settles in for the festive season. Kay Morris has 4 special friends in whom she believes are taking her out for a Christmas outing and should be somewhat surprised to find herself at our Rotary Meeting. A report as to how this came about follows later in this bulletin.
We also look forward to a report on the St Thomas Hassall Anglican College BBQ ran on 9 Dec for which the club purchased 800 sausages and 500 bread rolls.
Tonight is the last night a commitment sheet will circulate for this year. You may then liaise with the following persons in relation to the following events;
Ted Mlynarz for Sunday 19 Dec at Westfield’s or for any changes to commitments for Bach Dang on 21 Dec with numbers already conveyed.
Gary Halliday: Breakfast meetings on 4 & 11 Jan
Ted Mlynarz: Tri Club Golf Day on Monday 17 Jan as hosted by Liverpool, Times are to be confirmed and the likely contact at Liverpool Club is David Ball.
Perhaps we will confirm Charles Hili as person to liaise with for Australia Day Club Picnic at Warwick Farm Races. While numbers are not needed for attending the picnic, we are also catering with a BBQ and Drinks for sale in the family area and need to confirm volunteers to organise and operate the BBQ.
The normal contact for commitments will then be overseas and not pass on communications.
CLUB REVIEW
Our Meeting of 30 Nov 2010
AGM and Election of 2011/12 Board for Liverpool West were successfully held with board positions and other mostly all quickly filled. Congratulations to Ted Mlynarz on his election as President and to all members who have taken on important roles. A full listing as known is shown here;

On 4 Dec Members and partners converged at the Q-Station Resort for our annual Christmas outing and got into the spirit of things with a 2 hour ghost tour doing the trick for some and a celebratory drink assisting others get in the spirit. Santa visited our partners and then I believe all successfully negated 224 stairs back uphill towards their accommodation. An eerie experience proved to be enjoyable for all and President Peter is entitled to feel quite please with his selection of venue and itinerary.
E News Letter Formats and Website Maintenance – Considerations
Integration of website maintenance and bulletin production may result in an enhanced club image and encourage collaboration amongst members resulting in better quality productions and less work for an individual. The following approach is then an inclusive approach leaving room for additional offerings

Letter from President June of R C Liverpool Greenway
Dear All,
This is to formally advise everyone that Liverpool Greenway Rotary will be taking part in the Combined Chamber Meeting on the 7th February and will meet the commitment as suggested in the original letter.
We will also be a part of the National Movie Night on Wednesday 23rd February.
On speaking with ADG Veronica this morning to advise her of our commitment, it was suggested that the Presidents could stay back after the Presidents meeting next Friday 10th Presidents meeting to form a committee and have a meeting re the running of both these events. Veronica suggested we need a representative from all clubs involved on each committee.
We also agreed at our Board Meeting to work with Incoming Governor David Cook to help with the PETS meeting in March, and again need David to email us exactly what he needs us to do.
Like Liverpool West, I too am trying to plan the calendar for Greenway Club for the next six months
So we all need to work together to cover all events that are scheduled for the next months.
Best wishes at Christmas June Young

My 1 day employment
So after landing my new job as a Bunning’s greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day....... About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning and welcome to Bunning’s.
Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'
So I replied, ‘I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am, I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice.
Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Bunning’s.'
My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work.
Wisdom & Weddings
Jacob, age 92, and Henrietta, age 89, are excited about their decision to get married. They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding and on the way they pass a chemist.
Jacob suggests they go in.
Jacob addresses the man behind the counter: "Are you the owner?"
The pharmacist answers "Yes".
Jacob: "We're about to get married. Do you sell heart medication?"
Pharmacist: "Of course we do."
Jacob: "How about medicine for circulation?"
Pharmacist: "All kinds."
Jacob: "Medicine for rheumatism, scoliosis?"
Pharmacist: "Definitely."
Jacob:" Medicine for memory problems, arthritis, jaundices?"
Pharmacist: "Yes, a large variety, the works!"
Jacob: "What about vitamins, sleeping pills, antidotes for Parkinson’s disease?"
Pharmacist: "Absolutely."
Jacob:" You sell wheelchairs and walkers?"
Pharmacist: "All speeds and sizes. Why do you ask? Is there something I can help you with?"
Jacob says to the pharmacist:
"We'd like to nominate your store as our Bridal Gift Shop."
Bran Muffins
A couple were both 85 years old, and had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to live a good life because they watched their pennies.
Though not young as they would like, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise during the last several decades.
One day, their good health could not save them, when they went on a rare vacation and they were both killed in a terrible auto accident, sending them off to Heaven.
As they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid could be seen hanging their favourite clothes in the closet.
They gasped in astonishment when St. Peter said, "Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now."
The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost.
"Why, nothing," Peter replied, "Remember, this is your reward in Heaven."
The old man looked out the window and there he saw a beautiful championship golf course, better then anything he had seen on Earth.
"What are the greens fees?" grumbled the old man.
"This is heaven," St. Peter replied, "You can play for free, every day."
Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic deserts, and free flowing beverages.
“Don't even ask" said St Peter to the man, "This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy."
The old man looked around and glanced nervously at his wife.
"Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods, and the decaffeinated tea?" he asked. "That's the best part," St. Peter replied, "You can eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you like, and you will never get fat or sick. This is Heaven!"
The old man then asks, "No gym to work out at?" "Not unless you want to," was the answer.
"No testing my sugar or blood pressure or?” “Never again, all you do here is to enjoy yourself."
The old man glared at his wife and said, "You and your bran muffins. We could have been here ten years ago!"
