Not a bad turn out for a holiday weekend, 17 happy members and one guest showed up.
Ken Walker kindly introduced our distinguished guest, Assistant Governor, Bashir El Khalafawi.
We didn't have a guest speaker, but, Ken Walker talked to us about Rotary Scholarships.
November 3 has been set for the ROSES event with a target of $4500,00 to be raised. We all seem to be in favor of a Garage sale, so start looking for items to put in the sale, the last sale raised some $1200.00 with very little work involved.
Bashir assisted with the 50/50 draw, ensuring that there was a BLUE marble in the bag, he then pulled the winning ticket,which was won by President Ed, but again the blue marble remained in the bag, the odds for next week are 2 to 1. getting darned close now!
There is a meeting tomorrow night for the Roses committee at Ken Walker's office at 7pm, we are all welcome to attend.
Missing today were, Greer, Brady, Ian, Derek, Mike. Jean-Marc and Gord.
A smile for today.
GOLF - Stevie Wonder vs Tiger Woods.
Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a restaurant having dinner. Woods turns to Wonder and says, "How's the singing career going?"
Stevie Wonder replies, "Not too bad. How's the golf?" Woods replies, "Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing, but, I think I've got that going right now."
Stevie says, "I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."
Tiger say, "You play golf?"
Wonder says, "Oh yes, I've been playing for years."
Woods says, "But, you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?"
Wonder replies, "I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or further down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice."
"But, how do you do putt?" asks Woods.
"Well," says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball toward his voice."
Woods asks, "What's your handicap?"
Steveie says, "Well, I'm a scratch golfer."
Woods, incredulous, says to Stevie, "We've got to play a round sometime."
Wonder replies, "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money and never play for less that $10,000 a hole."
Woods thinks about it and says, "OK, I'm up for that. When would you like to play?"
Stevie says, "Pick a night."
