Where oh where has our summer gone? Yet another wet and cloudy day, but, despite the weather and holidays, we had 16 show up this morning.
A warm welcome was extended to our only guest, Alan Ball, who is now living in Qualicum and is hopefully going to join Sunrise Rotary.
We split into 2 groups this morning, David chaired one and Mike the other. David talked about Rotary House and its operation and is looking for ideas to gather further income from the renting of the facility and to maybe improve the look of the interior, ie.new décor. Mike’s topic was fund raising and the targets we have set for this year.
Birthday greetings for Greer August 23 and wedding anniversary for John August 24, congratulations to you both.
Greer is holding a meeting at Rotary House on Thursday August 23 at 7pm to discuss the
forthcoming event of Choc Fest . Does anyone have any ideas for a name, other than Choc Fest? All are welcome to attend.
Next Tuesday we are all asked to go to the Rotary Club of Port Alberni, and will gather at Rotary House at 6.05am to form a car pool.
Ron had the winning ticket today, but, from just 2 marbles he drew the green, the only time that Ron has had a winning ticket he picked the wrong colour! To my knowledge this the first time we have got down to one marble, should be fun at the next draw.
Today we missed seeing, Diana, Charles, Brady, Derek, Al, Raven and Ken Walker.
A smile for today
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of
room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your
arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you
can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.
Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit
longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lb
potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a
100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more
than a full minute. (I'm presently at this level)
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks!
