President
Philip's
Message
As you
all know, we have a great day lined up this coming Sunday with our
Thanks Giving Picnic organised by Bobbi Lehman-Horn. You will have
seen an email sent out by Bobbi requesting help with the menu by
providing various dishes as listed. Bobbi also needs a volunteer to
be at the park by 9 am to help with setting up. I would greatly
appreciate everyone lending their support to Bobbi to ensure the
success of this fantastic fellowship day. ...

Inspire - from "The Prez"
Instead of a quote this
week, and as we are having a fellowship event this Sunday, I thought
you would enjoy this interesting excerpt from the Roget’s Thesaurus
(1953 Penguin edition−reprinted 1964)
892 Sociality–Noun
jolly good
fellow, good mixer, Rotarian
(It is interesting to note that only 48 years after
Paul Harris founded Rotary, the word “Rotarian” had been
accepted as a legitimate term in the English language.)
