President-Elect Cheryl's Message.
Hello everyone
What a glorious few days we enjoyed before we finally got some much-needed water on the garden. Hope you managed to get out and about, that you weren’t stuck in an office during the sunny days.
It was great to hear of another initiative that benefits the children in our community, from Leonie and Leigh of Aoraki Kids Endowment on Tuesday. This week we have our Keith talking to us on one of his favourite subjects - 'local history'. That will follow on nicely from our speaker of the previous week who spoke on the same subject having created a treasure hunt to remind or reveal what we didn’t know. Don’t forget - we have a number of members choosing to stay home as much as possible during this challenging time, make sure they are ok, and maybe lend a hand by doing some errands for them.
Yours aye Cheryl

Jiminy Cricket (who acknowledges our sergeant's fines by doffing his hat) was made by Frank Washbourn in the late 1940s when he is about 70 years old!
Frank was a former member of the Rotary Club of Timaru and president 1934/35. This information came from Roger Wahbourn, Frank's grandson who was researching the family history.
Harold Washbourn, Roger's father was also President of the club in 1950/51.

Editors Humour.
Tony grew up above his father’s tavern. When he was a kid, his brothers would race each other down the stairs every morning to sweep up the bar and find the change customers had dropped during the night. Years later, as an adult, he found out that his father would throw a few coins over the bar for them to find in the morning. It cost him only a dollar a day to have us fight to be the first one to clean the bar.

Mike (An elderly farmer) had an old bull that lost its usual desire and no longer went near the cows. He called the vet, who prescribed a pill to stimulate the bull’s interest. A few weeks later, he ran into a friend, who asked, “How’s that bull?” “Great!” said Mike. “The bull is back to his former frisky self.” “That’s fantastic. What miracle drug did the vet prescribe?” “I don’t know,” said Mike. “But it tastes like liquorice.”

One day, Greg's physician father treated himself to a plate of raw oysters and offered to share them with Greg. Just as he was about to dig in, Greg's Father picked up an oyster, examined it, and commented, “They remind me of infected tonsils.”And that’s the story of how he ended up eating the entire plate of oysters himself.
