Your Bulletin this week is a little different because I wasn’t present at the meeting so
had no notes to refer to. Last February I announced that Gladys and I now resided in a ‘match Box by the sea‘
The reason for missing last Monday’s meeting was because we attended our first
‘Strata’ meeting for the Azure apartment complex in which we now live.
Very enlightening to now learn a little about how the ‘nuts and bolts’ of being
involved and living within that environment, fortunately we have the services of a very
experienced Strata Manager who will guide us through the maze.
Rotary brings together the kind of people who step forward to take on important
issues for local communities worldwide. Rotary members hail from a range of
professional backgrounds; doctors, artists, small business owners, teachers and
executives all call themselves Rotarians. Rotary connects these unique perspectives,

From Haiti and Greenland to Nigeria and Singapore, Rotary unites a truly diverse set
of leaders from across the world. Currently, the largest number of clubs comes from

The fastest growing Rotary regions include Southeast Asia and Africa.

15th July 2019 President Report
In keeping with my goals of having no guest speakers at every meeting
tonight was a “Talkfest”. The idea is to allow us to get to know each other
more and to discuss issues affecting the club or meetings.
Included in the first night at the helm was an opportunity to place a dot on
a map of the world indicating where each of us was born.
Of those that went dotty, 7 were born overseas and 7 claiming Australian
heritage.
The most unusual location was between north and south America but who
that was is a mystery as there is no name next to the dot. Will we discover
who it is? More next week.
Topics tonight ranged from attendance at meetings, guest speaker
bookings, bumper sticker slogans, ideas for future meetings,
RIDE participation or not, DRAFT Board Minutes and dessert!!
Our Secretary and
President divvying up
the raffle spoils.
(alarm bells ringing)
A Judicial Enquiry at
least, if not a Royal
Commission should
be demanded.
(Only joking)

Board meeting 11th July 2019
Club Service report. John Iriks
1 Working with PP Eric Blogg on a Club Members Matrix
2 Will introduce Club Service Committee meetings inviting Membership Chair Ed Samut to
consider our social calendar for outings such as Car rally, guess who’s coming to dinner,
progressive dinner, Christmas in the park or alternative function and other social functions
primarily designed to get us and guests together, rather than raise funds.
3 Working on Club administration to plan Annual General Meeting for date in December
now that constitution has changed to allow both the AGM for acceptance of financial
report and General meeting for the ratification of Board positions to be held at the same
meeting before 31st December.
4 Investigate the use of Google Calendars as an alternative to the club calendar.
5 Attadale Club, 30 years Women in Rotary, Thompsons, Iriks and Sharkey’s attending.
Cyrus Vince, accompanied by his parents Kylie and Matt, joined us to learn more about Rotary
and Youth Exchange. They were a lot of fun and grateful of the opportunity given to Cyrus.

Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, 'I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent.'
'Thank God,' said an elderly nun at the back. 'I'm so tired of Chardonnay.
A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test. The optician showed him a card with the letters
'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.' 'Can you read this?' the optician asked.
'Read it?' the Polish guy replied, 'I know the guy.'
A Man Utd fan dies on match day and goes to heaven in his Man Utd shirt. He knocks on the old pearly
gates and out walks St. Peter in a Leeds scarf.
"Hello mate," says St. Peter, "I'm sorry, no Man Utd fans in heaven."
"What?" Exclaims the man, astonished.
"You heard, no Man Utd fans."
"But, but, but, I've been a good man," replies the Man Utd supporter.
"Oh really," says St. Peter. "What have you done, then?"
"Well," said the guy, "Three weeks before I died, I gave 10 pounds to the starving children in Africa."
"Oh," says St. Peter. "Anything else?"
"Well, two weeks before I died I also gave 10 pounds to the homeless."
"Hmmm. Anything else?"
"Yeah. A week before I died I gave 10 pounds to the Albanian orphans."
"Okay," said St. Peter, "You wait here a minute while I have a word with the governor."
Ten minutes pass before St. Peter returns. He looks the bloke in the eye and says, "I've had a word with
God and he agrees with me. Here's your thirty quid back, now sod off."
Polio This Week 10th July 2019
A circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2)
has been confirmed in China.
It is genetically linked to a VDPV2 isolated from an
environmental sample from Xinjiang province, collected on
18 April 2018.
WHO is continuing to evaluate the situation and stands ready
to support the ongoing investigation and risk assessment by
national authorities.
Summary of new viruses this week:
Pakistan— nine wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases and 3
WPV1-positive environmental samples.
Angola— one circulating vaccine-derived
poliovirus (cVDPV2) case.
China – one cVDPV2 case.
A man owned a small farm in the Southwest. Fair Work WA claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an inspector out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the inspector. "Well," replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years.
I pay him $1200 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $1000 per week plus free room and board.
Then there's the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $100 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a
bottle of scotch most Saturday night’s. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to...the half-wit," said the inspector. "That would be me," replied the farmer.
The human mind, once stretched by a new idea,
never returns to it’s original state.
