Host Duties.
 
When doing Host Duties (i.e. Duty Roster), please remember that you set tables, raffles etc up for the night.
Then at the end of the meeting you need to pack up again and return table numbers etc. into the box and put away.
The large sign outside door must also be packed away (this part isn't always been done). 
It then falls to those leaving last.

RAFFLE PRIZES
 
For this Rotary year, President Jess would like members to take turns at providing the raffle prize (no alcohol please), either by buying a prize to the value of $10 to $15 (keep the receipt and ask Treasurer Jenny for reimbursement using the claims form click here...) or maybe you have a suitable prize you'd like to donate.
 
To make it simple to keep track of whose turn it is, the person on Host Duty 2 will be asked to provide the raffle prize for the week.
 
When it's your turn to provide the prize:
  • Please put the prize on the Host table no later than 5:30 pm.
  • Make sure there's a raffle sheet (from the host bin) and a pen on the table.
  • If you are unable to attend Rotary, and you are unable to find someone to swap, please contact Robyn Baldwin so she can arrange cover for the night.

Editors Humour.
 
My mother was browsing in a store when a saleswoman offered assistance. Mom admitted she didn’t have anything particular in mind, and the pair started chatting. The woman quickly learned that Mom was retired. Interested, she confessed that she, too, was considering retirement. Mom immediately started telling her how much she liked no longer working and how the saleswoman would enjoy it too.
Finally, convinced by Mom’s enthusiasm, she asked, “How long have you been retired?”
Mom said, “This is my first day.”

After doing some DIY projects around the house, I have a new motto: Do your best to do things right the first few times.

As a man's wife and he prepared for their garage sale, he came across a painting. Looking at the back, he discovered that he had written “To my beautiful wife on our fifth anniversary. I love you … Keith.”
Feeling nostalgic about a gift he'd given her 25 years earlier, he showed it to her, thinking they should rehang the picture.
After gazing at his message for a few seconds, she replied, “You know, I think a black marker would cover over all that so that we could sell it.”
