MINUTES OF MEETING OF LAST MEETING
The Club hosted the District Governor George Grant and his
wife Mary and Assistant District Governor Ian Hope.
DG George gave an overview of his life as a Service Club
member, firstly in APEX and then joining Rotary in 1983.
George and Mary have recently been visiting Solomon Islands
and PNG. He was impressed by the small projects that these clubs have
undertaken and some projects are still “work
in progress”. He made mention that very often the small projects have a huge
impact on the community once implemented. For clubs which do not
have the resources to undertake large projects, it is advisable to concentrate
on the smaller ones so they can become a reality and beneficial to the
community.
George is aiming to foster friendship between clubs in
District 9600 and would like to see the fun bought back into Rotary and perhaps
some joint projects undertaken where more than one club can participate. After
all the project will still be a Rotary
project but undertaken by more than one club, therefore will lighten the
work load for all concerned.
George commended the Board and members for the many
community events undertaken and also the fundraising events conducted, given that we are a small club with many
members taking time off to enjoy their retirement at the same time over the
year.
George was presented
with a book of 50 Years of Rotary in Maleny and Mary was given flowers and the
night was enjoyed by all.

NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
FROM A BUSINESS ANALYST WHO SAYS IF HE KNEW THE NAME OF THIS COMPANY HE WOULD BUY SOME SHARES AS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE OBVIOUSLY ON TOP OF EVERYTHING!!!!
A DELICATE CORPORATE MATTER
All of the ten senior members of the Board of Directors of the company were called into the chairman's office one by one until only Bob, the junior member, was left sitting outside.
Finally it was his turn to be summoned. He entered the office to find the chairman and the ten other directors seated around a table. He was invited to join them, which he did.
As soon as he had sat down the chairman turned to Bob, looking him squarely in the eye, and with a stern voice asked “Have you ever had sex with Mrs. Foyt, my secretary?”
“Oh, no sir, positively not!” Bob replied.
“Are you absolutely sure?” asked the chairman.
“Honest, I’ve never been close enough to even touch her!”
“You’d swear to that?”
“Yes, I swear I’ve never had sex with Mrs. Foyt anytime, anywhere.”
“Good, then you fire her !!!”
