President's Message

At this weeks coffee meeting we were joined by Tom Houlden a student from Catholic College Bendigo who attended the National Youth Science Forum earlier this year and was selected as one of 3 from Australia who is now on his way to Germany for the XLAB science fair.  It was great to meet Tom before he departed and we look forward to hearing more on his return.

 

A reminder to all members this Wednesday we will be taking a vote on our meeting format following the pilot of fortnightly formal meetings.  We now have the opportunity to make the change permanent (or revert back to the weekly formal meetings), a vote will be taken at the meeting on the 15th June.  You will have received a separate email re the vote and to date I have 3 email returns.  If you are unable to make Wednesday’s meeting, please respond via email before 7am on Wednesday morning.

 

June has 5 Wednesday’s and for that meeting we will be visiting the Bendigo Discovery Centre 7.15am for 7.30 for breakfast, a presentation by Jonathan Ridnell with an update on the changes to the Discovery Centre followed by a tour.

 

Thanks to everyone for the great work and dedication to assistance with the MOPARS BBQ on Sunday,

 

I need the support of a couple of Rotarians for Wedensday June 15th,  Bendigo Victory Football post match BBQ on Game starts around 12:00 but we need to be there no later than 1pm.

 

Don’t forget the next and last Board meeting for 2015-16 will be the 20th June at the Brian Boru 6:30pm

 

Paul

Joke of the week
 

   

A man has a racehorse that never won a race. The man says in disgust, "Horse, you win today or you pull a milk wagon tomorrow morning."
The starting gate opens and all the horses take off running except for the man's horse which is lying there asleep on the track.
He kicks the horse and asks, "Why are you sleeping?"
The sleepy horse raises his head and says, "I have to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning."

………………………………………………………………………………………

An 85-year-old couple, after being married for almost 60 years, died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years, mainly due to her interest in health food and exercising. When they reached the Pearly Gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion, which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen, master bath suite and a Jacuzzi. As they looked around, the old man asked St. Peter how much all this was going to cost.

'It's free,' St. Peter replied, 'this is Heaven.' Next, they went out in the back yard to survey the championship-style golf course that the home was located on. They would have golfing privileges every day and each week, the course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth. The old man asked, 'What are the green fees?'

St. Peter replied, 'This is heaven, you play for free.' Next, they went to the club house and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisine's of the World laid out. 'How much to eat?' asked the old man.

'Don't you understand yet? This is heaven, it is free!' St. Peter replied, with some exasperation. 'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables?' the old man asked timidly. St. Peter lectured, 'That's the best part - you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is Heaven.'

With that, the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping on it, and screaming wildly. St. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong. The old man looked at his wife and said, 'This is all your fault! If it weren't for your blasted bran muffins and exercise, I could have been here ten years ago!'
