President-Elect Cheryl's Message.
 
 
Hello everyone
 
Well, if you didn’t make it to our meeting last Tuesday you missed an amazing speaker. Roselyn Fauth has researched and uncovered places and events in Timaru’s history and current day that I would suggest we only know of a small amount that exists. Her enthusiasm and passion for the area are inspiring. I for one will be getting hold of her maps and exploring. All free, they make for a great family activity and/or outing. This week’s speakers from the Aoraki Foundation Trust will give us a window into another avenue of funding for projects targeting children. Don’t forget to invite people you know who would benefit from this knowledge.
 
It’s been seriously quiet around town now that we’re in red, except for the Ballantynes sale - a bit of light relief, for me anyway. I trust you’re managing to cope with the extra restrictions and business challenges. Make sure you check in on your Rotary mates, that they are ok, this covid stuff isn’t going away in a hurry.
 
Yours aye
Cheryl

Editors Humour.
 
Lance was describing his job as an engineer to some third form students when he mentioned that “one of my colleagues and I designed a medical instrument for measuring human muscle tone.”
Later, he added, “another colleague and I designed a system to allow merchants to print coupons at the cash register.”
Thinking that all this technical talk was confusing, he asked if there were any questions.
There was one: “What’s a colleague?”
______
 
John is known as a stickler for good spelling. So when an associate e-mailed technical documents and asked him to “decifer” them, he had to set him straight. “Decipher is spelt with a ph, not an f,” he wrote. “In case you’ve forgotten, spellchecker comes free with your Microsoft program.”
A minute later came his reply: “Must be dephective".

Natasha discovered a shortcut today. If you leave your Fitbit in your pants pocket when placing them in the dryer, you can get a head start on your steps. She had 3,800 steps in before she put them on!
