Joint meeting with Rotary Club of Rockingham tonight.
We welcomed President Paul and Alex Acton along with 12 members
and
partners from the Rockingham club.
The meeting was very informal, reports were kept to a minimum,
good
fellowship was followed by a very entertaining ‘fine
session’
We have a joint Zone 4 meeting scheduled for Monday 16th
November at the
Darius Wells Centre.
Genevieve is very focused on ensuring the success of
the Rotary Global Swimarathon 2016 after the
disappointing cancellation of the 2015 event caused
by the protracted closure of the Kwinana Requatic
Centre Pool. The 2016 event will be held on Sunday 21st
February, already the
participation of other Rotary Clubs in our District is looking
promising.
PP Mike Nella is still looking for any new or used household
goods surplus to
your requirements. Support the Rotaract Monster Garage Sale to
be held on 18th
19th
& 20th
September.

When wearing a bikini, women reveal 90% of their body....men are
so polite they
only look at the covered parts
Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation
towards the local
swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water.
That awkward moment when you leave a store without buying
anything and all you
can think is "act natural, you're innocent".

Polio this week 19th August 2015 This week, Pakistan will become
the second polio-endemic
country to introduce the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) into
its
routine immunization system. More than half the global birth
cohort is now receiving at least one dose of IPV through
routine
immunization systems as a result of the biggest globally
synchronized vaccine introduction in history
The emergency committee of the International Health
Regulations (IHR) has met for the sixth time and assessed that
the
international spread of polio continues to constitute a
Public
Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
National vaccination campaigns to protect children against
polio and measles are taking place in Yemen targeting more
than
5 million children under the age of five

Mick says to Paddy, 'I can’t be bothered to walk all that

'I know,' says Paddy, 'but we've no money for a cab and we've
missed the last bus

'We could steal a bus from the depot,' Mick suggests.
They arrive at the bus depot and Mick tells Paddy to go in and
get a bus while he keeps
a look-out.
After shuffling around for ages, Mick shouts, 'Paddy, what are
you doing? Have you
