The Week Ahead

10 December 2024
As we wind down and fill our lives with food, friends and family, there is a different energy out on the streets. Have you noticed the cars, the shoppers, cafes busy providing to the increase in patronage?
 
All for Christmas but with one thought in common. I can’t wait till Boxing Day and it is over! 
 
We have one more meeting next week and I hope that as many of you are free to enjoy an informal, casual lunch meeting with David Rush at the helm.
 
Instead of Announcements, I would love to hear some Christmas Jokes from you!  If you would like to take the mike, please do or email me with your contribution. Remember, I shall provide your name to the joke!  See you next week.
 
Quote for the week:  Dear Santa, I’ve been good all year. Well, most of the time!  OK, maybe once in a while…… Nevermind, I’ll buy my own presents!
                                                       

NEXT WEEK - 17 December

 
 
 
 
I have read David Rush’s Standish and it is outstanding.
 
Make sure you come to our last meeting of the year to hear David’s creative writing of Standish.
 

FIRST 2025 MEETING – 4 February

 

WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?

A fun meeting where four members engage in 'Show and Tell', by bringing a different and unusual object.

· However, are they the real owners?

· Can their stories be trusted?

· Surely they wouldn't 'extend the truth'?

A meeting of fun and fellowship.

Chair: David Rush

See you at Kooyong Tuesday 4 February 2025.

ANNUAL SERVICE to SENIOR’S AWARD 2025

 
 
Do you know someone who lives/volunteers in the Boroondara area and provides selfless volunteer care to our older people?
 
Does he/she fit the requirement for our Award?
 
Let’s promote Rotary Hawthorn’s appreciation of a volunteer’s service to seniors as we did in awarding Margot Boyle early this year. How can we forget Margot as she “shocked” you all by having us sing a 3 part ditty instead of a speech.
