MINUTES OF LAST MEETING
President Jeff opened the meeting and Chris Brooker gave us a rundown on the members required for the following events:
•    Wood Expo Parking
•    Maleny Show
•    Muscle on the Mountain
   
Our Guest Speaker was Sharon Tregoning whose topic was Advanced Care Planning. She described this in a detailed presentation which is attached to the bulletin notice.

Basically she outlined how you can capture your wishes for your end journey and provided a bucket list to help achieve this goal.  She explained how a number of significant items played their part.

A potentially difficult topic was explained sympathetically and lucidly.  It is recommended to all that her presentation be read in its original.

David Fraser gave the vote of thanks and managed to get ANO to capture the event.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONUNDRUM
WITH APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR POLITICAL INCORRECTNESS
  
Written  across the wall of the cave were the following  symbols:

It was considered a unique find and the writings were said to be at least 3000 years old!
The piece of stone was removed, brought to the  museum, and archaeologists from around the world came to study  the ancient symbols.
They held a huge meeting after months of  conferences to discuss the meaning of the markings.

The  President of the Society  pointed to first drawing and said:


  
"This is a  woman. We can see these people held women in high esteem.  You can  also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol is a donkey, so  they were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil.
 
 

The next  drawing is a shovel, which means they had tools to help them."

  

Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish which means that if a famine hit the earth and food didn't grow, they seek food from the sea.

   

The last  symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrews."
The audience applauded enthusiastically.



Then a little old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room  and said,

   
"Idiots... Hebrew is read from right to left... It says: 'Holy Mackerel, Dig the Ass on that Chick!'"
