With a room full, Chairman Stan had trouble rounding everyone up due to the chatter that was going on.
Given that we had our Canadian guests it was great to see Barb, Pauline and Sally at our breakfast meeting.
Due to the importance of our guests the normal business had to be cut short, however there were a few things that had to be said.
Stan did have his compilation of interesting facts about Australia and Canada to interest all who were present.
 
 
President’s report
A quick report was provided re;
  • Thanks to all of the hosts for helping out with the RFE fellowship dinner on Monday night. The BBQ menu included Crocodile snags, Emu burgers, Wombat snags, Kangaroo snags and burgers, Camel steaks, Cockatoo wings and legs and Lamb chops, much to the dismay of, then amusement of our guests. Really??? What is a Wombat? Do you eat these animals? You’re kidding, right!
  • I attended a Futsal game on Tuesday night and maybe it was a bad omen as it was the first game our sponsored team has lost.
  • Foodshare request for willing workers, see last week’s bulletin for details
Rotary leadership training day.
Please register as per last week’s bulletin for Sunday April 7
 
 
Director’s reports
Cathie-Lightning Reef primary School BBQ lunch April 5-need to know who will be there as it will be a requirement for a WWC and form 3.
Bruce added there will be a set up from 11 with cooking to start at 11.30 for a 2 pm finish.
Kev in his absence also needs a few more for the BBQ roster at the market on Good Friday.
Judy-Thanked members for their support for Wayne and Linda.
 
Guest Speakers
 
In a very professional manner Murray gave the RFE team from D5550 presentation with a series of great slides on each of the clubs the team is from and Canada in general. The team had not met prior to coming here as geographically they are up to 850 km apart.
There were many questions and the opportunity to exchange banners. Many thanks to all of the host families and in particular Ray for his outstanding organisation for the team here in Bendigo.

Breakfast with then RFE team CANADA
Futsal Team sponsored by RCoBS
 
*The wine taster* 
At a winery, the regular taster died and the director started looking
for a new one to hire.. 
A drunkard with a ragged, dirty look came in to apply for the position.
The director of the winery wondered how to send him away. 
He gave him a glass to drink. 
The drunk tried it and said: 
"It's a Muscat , three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in
steel containers.  Low grade, but acceptable.” 
"That's correct", said the boss. 
Another glass.... 
"It's a cabernet, eight years old, a south-western slope, oak barrels,
matured at 8 degrees. Requires three more years for finest results." 
"Correct." 
A third glass... 
''It's a pinot blanc champagne, high grade and exclusive,'' calmly said
the drunk. 
The director was astonished.
He winked at his secretary, secretly suggesting something.
She left the room, and came back in with a
glass of urine. 
The alcoholic tried it.
"It's a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant - and if I don't get
the job, I'll name the father."
