President-Elect Cheryl's Message.
Hi everyone
Well, we reached a milestone at our last meeting. We linked in via zoom for those who prefer to remain home in the current climate. Thanks to John for setting it up. Looking forward to feedback from everyone who zoomed in. We’ll be doing this for every meeting for the foreseeable future.
We had our Keith Bartholomew speak on the history of South Canterbury. It was great to have him back. Clearly a favourite subject of his. We appreciated Keith sharing his knowledge of the churches, monuments and older buildings in the region. Make sure you buy his book “South Canterbury Heritage Guide” from various places including Bay Books and the Timaru Herald. It’s designed to fit in your glovebox for a day trip to scenic sites. This dovetails nicely with Roselyn Fauth’s talk on places to explore. You can get her information and activity maps from the website wuhootimaru.co.nz. That’s my weekends sorted for a few months. I hope Pirate appreciates historic sites!
This week our speaker is Nicki Kerr from the Red Cross. It will be great to hear how they contribute to our local community and beyond.
Yours aye
Cheryl

Editors Humour.
When people hear that Fred and Mildred have just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, they inevitably ask them the secret to their long, successful marriage. In response, Fred will smile sweetly, nod Mildred's way, and explain, “We both love me.”

As the general inspected the troops, he asked some of the Marines which outfit they were serving with. Ramrod straight, each would respond, “Marine Air Group 36, sir” or “Second Marine Division, General.” Then there was one young private. When the general asked, “Which outfit are you in?” the Marine replied, “Dress blues, sir, with medals!”

A frightened man goes to the secret police and says, “My talking parrot disappeared.”
“Why did you come here? Go to the regular police.”
“I will. I’m just here to tell you that I disagree with whatever that parrot is going to say.”
