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.
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.

“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?"

Just
Curious Who Gets This Far:
Weird Facts to Know & Tell
Bickering Computers
An Angel and the Devil were having
an ongoing argument about who managed to get the most out of their computer.
This had been going on for days and God was tired of hearing all the
bickering.
God said, "Cool it. I am going
to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the
better job."
So down they sat at the keyboards
and typed away. They moused away. They did spreadsheets, they wrote
reports, they sent faxes, they sent out e-mail, they sent out e-mail
with attachments, they downloaded, they did some genealogy reports,
they made cards, they did every known job. But just a few minutes before
the two hours were up, lightning flashed across the sky. The thunder
rolled and the rains came down hard. And, of course, the electricity
went off.
The Devil was upset. He fumed and
fussed and he ranted and raved. All to no avail. The electricity stayed
off. But after a bit, the rains stopped and the electricity came back
on.
The Devil screamed, "I lost
it all when the power went off. What am I going to do? What happened
to the Angels' work?" The Angel just sat and smiled.
Again, the Devil asked about the
work that the Angel had done. As the Angel turned her computer back
on, the screen glowed and when she pushed print, it was all there. "How
did she do it?" the Devil asked.
God smiled and said "Angels
Save".
Do you have anything to share? Email
me and chances are it will find its way here.
