LAST WEEK’S MEETING
Chaired by Angela Griffin who welcomed the guest speaker David Crewe, Helen Crewe, visiting Rotarian Les Pontin (Caloundra Pacific club) and partners of members.
The Chairman congratulated those involved on another very successful D9600 Interact Conference.
The Treasurer thanked his deputy for counting the shekels while he was overseas and expressed his pleasure that the bank accounts appeared to be intact.
Charlotte thanked the panel members from last week's 'hypothetical evening' and created a dilemma for Brian King by presenting him with a scratchie! The Chairman thanked Charlotte for organizing the wonderful evening with the Nambour 76 club.
Brian K proudly stated that the school Interact Club won the award for strongest club at the D9600 Interact Conference last weekend - see below.
Brian also briefed the meeting on discussions with the Hotel and the working bee at the school this weekend. He also suggested that the Club come up with enough money for him to keep his hair on (Shave for a Cure)!! It may be worth it!
Angela presented the Club with a banner from the Rotary Club of South Foreland, England.
Mike Gregory reminded us of Rotary's 107th birthday last week and discussed fund raising for Polio eradication.
The Sergeant extracted a fine or two before the 'bad' jokes kicked in. As I recall it only 1 of 6 had some quality! Heads and tails was won by Leanne King.
Our guest speaker David Crewe provided a very entertaining overview of his life, including some amusing anecdotes of his public relations work with the British Royal family. David also showed us a great short film of his experiences as a deck hand on the Endeavour replica during a cruise from Sydney to Brisbane.David and Helen came to Maleny 3 years ago after some 17 moves including London, Kent, France and Gozo, Malta. They are very involved with Maleny Singers and Maleny Players. In late 2010 David won the ABC "Your Town, Your Song" penning the lyrics for a beautiful song titled "The Magic of Maleny".
Jeff C gave the vote of thanks.
ANOTHER SUCCESS FOR THE MALENY INTERACT CLUB
Many congratulations to the Interact Club and their guidance team.
At the same function, our Club Service Director met Pani Beigi, the Rotary Peace Fellow again.

SOME GENERAL KNOWLEDGE TRIVIA
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)
Starfish have no brains
(I know some people like that too.)
Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
