FIFTY YEARS OF ROTARY

Posted by Henry Drury

Hawthorn Rotary Club celebrated Fifty Years of Rotary in 2003.
Rotary International’s Theme for the year was “Lend a Hand”.
Henry Drury was Club President, and he presents some reminisences here:

NOT ALL THIEVES ARE STUPID

In this era of high technology, we need to be even more vigilant.

Note how seemingly “innocent” entries can be turned against us!

XMAS HAM SALES

Posted by Richard Logan

This year as you all know has been a difficult one and as a result of the restrictions and uncertainty, the Rotary Club of Hawthorn has had to make changes to our usual Christmas sales format.

The date for collection is Tuesday 22nd of December (not Thursday as included on the previous form). I hope this did not cause any confusion and please use the form attached for orders if not already lodged.

THE SHADOW KNOWS

Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.

- Junichiro Tanizaki

The shadow keeps his ear to the ground, eye on the ball, nose to the grindstone . . . .etc.

JEST FOR A LAUGH

You can blame Jane Drury for this week's punnies . . .
