Speak up, I can't hear you! We haven't had a Club Assembly for quite some time; they are just as important as having entertaining guest speakers.

Geoff Croad, our Wheelchair Trust chairman, has negotiated an arrangement with RARE (Rotary Australia Repurposing Equipment) to dispose hospital beds, medical equipment etc that occasionally ends up at our project shed. Recently, a load of hospital beds, mattresses and some 500 bedsheets, destined for Timor Leste, was picked up. In the same consignment, there were 18 new or almost new "normal" wheelchairs (going to Bougainville), and three boxed 'Rough Terrain' wheelchairs to be shipped to where RAWCS (Rotary Australia World Community Service) deems there is a need.

We'll need plenty of helpers on the day, so if you can, please ask the organisers, Doug Lipp or Charles Thomasson, to put you on the roster. And we need Raffle Prizes! (Yes, you have had that bottle of Grange Hermitage in your cellar for thirty years. You might as well donate it! ☺)
The wheelchair shed needs some additional hands for a solid morning on Saturday week to strip the wheels off a big load of bikes we have been donated recently. Can you assist?

Got interviewed yesterday.
Interviewer: "What makes you get out of bed every morning?"
Me: "My bladder."

Here's a warning that Gerald forwarded to me. Can't believe that, at his age, he was caught:
