Professor Radbourne thanked the Club for its support of the Celebration of Books. She ended her talk by seeking the views of members and challenged the Club to think about what part Rotary could play to support the arts in our community.

NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
CONFESSIONS OF A GOLFER
MY WIFE WONT LIKE IT!!!!!!!!
One day during a game on the golf course I accidentally overturned my golf cart.
Elizabeth, a very attractive and keen golfer who lives in a villa on the golf course, heard the noise and called out, “Are you okay?"
"I’m fine thanks," I replied. “My name’s Jack,” I said and introduced myself.
"Jack, forget your troubles. Come to my villa, rest a while and I'll help you get the cart up later,” she suggested.
"That's mighty nice of you," I answered “but I don't think my wife would like it."
"Oh, come on," Elizabeth insisted. She was very pretty and very persuasive..
"Well okay," I finally agreed and added "but my wife won't like it."
After a restorative brandy, she insisted that I remove my clothes so she could give me a massage.
Afterwards, I thanked my hostess for the exhilarating session I had with her.
"I feel a lot better now but I know my wife is going to be really upset."
"Don't be silly!” Elizabeth replied with a smile, “She won't know a thing. Where is she, anyway?"
"Under the cart!" I said...
