Joke of the Week
As I was admitted to the hospital for a procedure, the clerk asked for my wrist, saying, "I'm going to give you a bracelet." "Has it got rubies and diamonds?" I asked coyly. "No," he said. "But it will cost just as much."
Friendship Beyond Club Functions (FBCF) You might have noticed a few FBCF events listed in our calendar in the upcoming months. This was an idea discussed at the President Elect training earlier this year. It is purely a chance for Rotarians, friends and family to have a social outing of some kind (other than socializing at club functions). Our first two FBCF events are a trip to the movies in August and a Coffee & Cake morning tea in October. We will see how these first two go, and if successful we will try to have a FBCF event ever few months. If you have any suggestions for what types of outings we should host, please let us know.
