Presidents Report from Kristin Ballard

Our guest speaker for last week’s meeting was Bill Fraser, Royal Flying Doctor Service of  Australia, and he gave us a brief history of the service. To learn, as part of that, that their fixedwing aircraft support our area, as well as most of Australia, for medical evacuation wherenecessary and how that works with the helicopter services was very interesting.

We also had a joint meeting with Canberra East which I think was enjoyed by all. This continuedour fellowship from the Royal Canberra Show and we received a cheque for our contribution to thefood stall.

With great pleasure we welcomed Doug Mitchell to our Club as a Rotarian.

This week our meeting will be on Tuesday - we will join the Rotary Club of Bungendore to listen toProf. Hans Bachor AM on ‘Lasers Can Do Everything’ – 6.30 for 7pm start at the Councilchambers in Bungendore.

Laser play many important roles in our daily life without them many technologies, which we take for granted, would come to a halt. Where did the laser come from? Who invented it and why took it so long?

What might happen in the Future? This lecture, with demonstrations, will look at the concepts and peoplebehind the laser.

 Joke of the Week

While I was dining out with my children, a friend of my neighbour, who recognized us, came over to our table,

and we started talking.

He asked where my kids go to school. I told him we home schooled them.

With a raised eyebrow, he asked if my husband is the sole breadwinner for our family.

I said, "No, I also work... but out of our home."

Then, noticing our two-month-old son, he mentioned that his daughter had just had a baby,

and he wondered what hospital our son was born in.

"He was born at home," I answered.

The man looked at me and said, "You don't get out much, do you?"
