Farm & Road Safety Expo
Rotary Club of Rochester
Incorporated No. A0021076T
 
 
 
 
Dear District 9800 Presidents
 
The Rotary Club of Rochester will hold the 20th annual Farm and Road Safety Expo (FARSE) on Tuesday 21st August 2018.
 
I am writing to ask your Club members to make a note in their diary of the date. We invite your members to attend the Expo
which is held at the Rochester Recreation Reserve (Football Ground) between 10am and 2:30pm. The FARSE is an annual major project
of the Rotary Club of Rochester.
I am also asking whether any of your members are in a position to bring an exhibit to the Expo or know of someone or a business that
would donate their time to put on a display or consider being a sponsor for the event.
In previous years exhibitors have included: several divisions of the Police Force; the CFA including their stop, drop and roll activity;
the SES who demonstrate the jaws-of-life or other safety activities; the local Pony Club for horse safety; The Marine service for water safety;
the local hospital, local farmers with their large implements and many others.
Any businesses or organisation with sponsorship of $500 or more will have their logo placed on all correspondence and handouts. 
For lesser amounts the sponsors name will be placed on the correspondence and handouts. There is also the offer of joint naming rights
to the event for a donation of $3,000 or more.
As this is the 20th annual Expo the Club members are looking to make the Expo bigger and better.
Our general clientele are primary students who we rely on to go home and pass on the safety message to their parents.
We are planning to encourage the secondary schools to attend and, also more adults.
The Expo has between 600 and 1000 students attend on the day with teachers and parents.
 
Please contact me if you would like more information regarding the Farm and Road Safety Expo.
 
Thank you for passing this message to your members
 
Yours in Rotary fellowship

Jokes

A pair of chickens walks up to the circulation desk at a public library and say, “Buk Buk BUK.”

The librarian decides that the chickens desire three books, and gives it to them…and the chickens leave shortly thereafter.

Around midday, the two chickens return to the circulation desk quite vexed and say, “Buk Buk BuKKOOK!”

The librarian decides that the chickens desire another three books and gives it to them. The chickens leave as before.

The two chickens return to the library in the early afternoon, approach the librarian, looking very annoyed and say,

“Buk Buk Buk Buk Bukkooook!” The librarian is now a little suspicious of these chickens. She gives them what they request,

and decides to follow them. She followed them out of the library, out of the town, and to a park.

At this point, she hid behind a tree, not wanting to be seen. She saw the two chickens throwing the books at a frog in a pond,

to which the frog was saying, “Rrredit Rrredit Rrredit…

Two football players were taking an important final exam. If they failed, they would be on academic probation and not

allowed to play in the Super Bowl the following week. The exam was fill-in-the-blank.

The last question read, “Old MacDonald had a _________.” Bubba was stumped. He had no idea of the answer.

He knew he needed to get this one right to be sure he passed. Making sure the professor wasn’t watching,

he tapped Tim on the shoulder. “Pssst Tim. What’s the answer to the last question?”

Tim laughed. He looked around to make sure the professor hadn’t noticed then he turned to Bubba.

“Bubba, you’re so stupid. Everyone knows Old MacDonald had a farm.”

“Oh yeah,” said Bubba, “I remember now.” He picked up his No. 2 pencil and started to write

the answer in the blank. He stopped. Reaching to tap Tim’s shoulder again, he whispered,

“Tim, how do you spell farm?” “You are really dumb, Bubba.

That’s so easy. Farm is spelled E-I-E-I-O!
