Joke of the Week A new employee calls the Help Desk to complain that there's something wrong with her password. "The problem is that whenever I type the password, it just shows stars," she says. "The asterisks are to protect you," the Help Desk technician explains, "so if someone were standing behind you, they wouldn't be able to read your password." "Yeah," she says, "but they show up even when there is no one standing behind me."
2012 Sister City Visit

http://www.qcc.nsw.gov.au/Discover-Queanbeyan/Our-Sister-City/SisterCity
Queanbeyan City Council is seeking applications from interested students and residents to take part in a visit to Councils Sister City of Minami Alps in Japan. Applications are currently being invited from Queanbeyan students and residents interested in participating in the exchange which will visit Minami Alps departing 23 September and returning 2 October 2012. Applications are open to Queanbeyan students aged between 14 and 17 and a delegation of 10-13 students is sought. Additionally, 2-3 chaperones are required to take part in the exchange. To be eligible to travel as a chaperone applicants must undertake a working with children check. Exchange participants will have to pay for their own airfares and take spending money. Currently return air fares to Tokyo are between $1700 and $2000 and spending money would be minimal.
Applications must be submitted by close of business on Friday 29 June.
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.
