Teresa shared information about our meals at
Damon's. Each week we have an option of a house salad or the entre prepared
for us that day. At no time is anyone to request to have chicken or
steak added to the salad. All that we are contracted for is the garden
salad. Additionally when you request special salads; the orders for everyone
else get backlogged because the server is also the one that has to prepare
the salad. There is additional cost that is borne by the club when you
place requests for extras too.
The committee assignments were placed
on the tables; it was also proposed to have a "Minute Man" list
for potential speakers available on a short notice if a scheduled speaker
is prevented from coming.
Teresa shared news from the Penn State Rotaract club for the new academic
year. Over 50 persons showed up to an informational session. These were
students that had been involved with Rotary as Interacters in high school.
Todd passed out coins from the PA National Guard to all Rotarians that
helped with the event.
 The
Rotary Foundation Dinner is scheduled for November 4, 2006 in Hagerstown,
Maryland. Do not forget to register.
If you have coupon money please get that in. You can still sell those
babies.Coupon sales are still happening. Extras can be picked up from
Tracy Sepich. Sell Sell Sell your coupon books. Paul made
a flier that might help sell
these things which actually sell themselves: 49 coupons for various values
in town! Contact Rotarian Dr. Tracy Sepich to get your coupon
books. Her office is over by Lowes in the old Philatelic building.

Week's Speaker: no

A TALE FROM A LADY ROTARIAN OF CHICHESTER CLUB.
When she arrived for her club meeting, the lady member of the Rotary
Club of Chichester saw one of her colleagues sporting a black eye. She
naturally enquired, sympathetically, what had happened to him? He replied:
-
“Well, last Sunday I went to church in the usual way, and I noticed
a rather attractive lady in the pew in front of me – But when she
stood up, I could not but notice that her thin floral skirt was tucked
in between her shapely buttocks. Realising that this would cause embarrassment
when noticed by others in the congregation, I quickly withdrew the skirt
from its then position – Unfortunately she did not appreciate my
thoughtful politeness and she sloshed me around the face with her handbag.”
With natural Rotary politeness and concern (Obviously Chichester behave
differently from our rowdy lot!), the club members sympathised with their
unfortunate colleague and the unfortunate misunderstanding.
Next meeting the lady member of Chichester club was appalled to see the
unfortunate colleague had a double black eye, and being a polite lady
member of Rotary, enquired what had happened this time. He replied,
“Well, would you believe it, I went to church as usual on Sunday,
and the same lady sat in front of me again. Embarrassingly, I saw that
her thin floral skirt was once again tucked within her shapely buttocks
– I was not going to get involved again after the last experience,
and averted my gaze from the offending problem. Unfortunately, the gentleman
next to me noticed the problem and withdrew the light floral skirt from
her buttocks – I decided that I was not going to take the blame,
or her offensive action, to I replaced the thin floral skirt into its
former position” !
The lady member from Christchurch did not finish the story, for obvious
reasons!

On a recent long distance train journey, the train came to a grinding
halt in the middle of nowhere.
Everyone looked at each other wondering what had gone wrong, then the
train driver announced over the intercom that he had some bad news and
some good news. "The bad news is that both engines had failed, the
good news is that we are not on a Jumbo Jet!"
From: John Haywood, Amesbury Rotary Club
An elderly Rotarian and his wife are having problems remembering things,
so they decide to go to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor tells them
that they are physically okay but they might want to start writing things
down to help them remember. Later that night, while watching TV, the Rotarian
gets up from his chair.
Wife: "Where are you going dear?"
Rotarian: "To the kitchen"
Wife: "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
Rotarian: "Sure."
Wife: "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember
it?"
Rotarian: "No, I can remember that!"
Wife: "Well, I'd like some strawberries on top. You'd better write
it down 'cause I know you'll forget it."
Husband: "I can remember that! You want a bowl of ice cream with
strawberries."
Wife: "I'd also like whipped cream. Now I'm certain you'll forget
that, so you'd better write it down."
Rotarian: "I don't need to write it down. I can remember that! Ice
cream with strawberries and whipped cream!"
He then grumbles all the way to the kitchen. After about 20 minutes he
returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment and says, "Where's my toast?

“If
we only listen to those whom we already see eye to eye, we will
never create better understanding, a concept that is at the
core of Rotary.”
-Martin G Molony, District 1160 Governor, Dublin Central, Ireland
in The
Rotarian, January 2006

"Of
the things we think, say or do:
Is
it the TRUTH?
Is
it FAIR to all concerned?
Will
it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will
it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
