PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Haere mai, especially to those of us who are not as well as we could be, we look forward to your speedy recovery and return to active Club life.

Our intrepid Cape York adventurers have returned and it was interesting to receive progress reports from Doug Hayne whenever his iPad was in range – the digital age is a wondrous time to be in for information exchange.

Other of our travellers who escaped Melbourne’s winter have also returned from sunnier climes while others will be getting ready to depart for the September/October school holidays – we are a mobile Club!

Registration for our Christmas festivities on Monday December 8 has opened and we look forward to as many of you as possible getting in early and making your booking.

Our Emergency Co-ordinators and I will be attending a training session on Monday September 15 for emergencies that may occur at the Ajani Centre and it will be interesting to see how we have been managing so far. We are also looking to see when we might be able to fit in a presentation at one of our monthly meetings by Ambulance Victoria on the recognition and management of medical emergencies in the community.

Penultimately and by no means least importantly, I am sure those of you who are interested in World sport will have noted that New Zealand has retained the Bledisloe Cup for the 12

th successive year with a record win

over Australia at Eden Park. The rugby world remains in the equilibrium it should be in !!

Until next month, Hare Ra and remember that the Government is like a baby’s alimentary canal - an happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other !

In a pub, Harry the car dealer was trying to flog a heap of junk parked outside to a Chinese student.

“It’s a reliable car,” said Harry. “It’s yours for five hundred dollars, but if you have the cash I will take 20% off.”

The student was too shrewd to admit he didn’t understand the discount and said he would think it over.

When he got the chance, he asked the barmaid quietly, “If I gave you five hundred dollars, how much you take off?”

“Everything except my earrings, honey. No worries.”

HI THERE FRIENDS, THIS REALLY WORKS. GET OUT YOUR CALCULATOR FIRST

This is one for you mathematicians THIS WORKS, HOW I DO NOT KNOW !

"Your Phone number will reveal your Age. I do not know who discovered this? Really accurate.

It will take about 15 seconds, read and do it at the same time so that you will not lose the fun.

[1] Take a look at your last digit of your cell phone number

[2] Use this figure and multiply by 2

[3] Then add 5

[4] And then multiply by 50

[5] And then add the number 1764

[6] The last step; with this number, subtract your birth year. Now you see a three-digit number. The first digit is the last digit of your phone number, the next digits is your actual age for this year! Surprising? Let's go out to spread the joy! This is a very interesting math problem, really accurate.

Very magical, feel free to share with everyone.

Do not believe? Try it..."

The Tourist Prayer

Heavenly Father, look down on us, Your humble and obedient servants, who are doomed to travel this earth taking photographs, buying souvenirs and walking in drip-dry underwear. We beseech you, O Lord, to see that our plane is not high-jacked, our luggage is not lost and our overweight baggage goes unnoticed. Protect us against unscrupulous taxi drivers and unlicensed English speaking guides.

Give us this day Divine Guidance in the selection of our hotel that we may find our reservations honoured and our beds made up. We pray that the telephones work and the operators speak our tongue. Lead us, O Lord, to good inexpensive restaurants where the food is superb, the waiters friendly and the wine is included in the price of the meal.

Give us the wisdom to tip correctly in currency we do not understand. Forgive us for under tipping out of ignorance and over tipping out of fear. Make the natives love us for what we are and not what we can contribute to their worldly wealth. Grant us the strength to visit the museums, cathedrals, palaces and castles listed as a must in the guide books. If we skip an historic monument to take a nap after lunch, have mercy on us as our flesh is weak.

And when our journey is over and we return to our loved ones, grant us the favour of finding someone who will look at our home movies or photos and listen to our stories so that our lives as tourists will not have been in vain.

AMEN ps. The Prayer must have worked, we had a great time. Ellen Boyd

All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand.

How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

Why do psychics have to ask you for your name.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.


Preachers and a Bear A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher and a Rabbi all served as Chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University at Marquette in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan . They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop. One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard, a real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it to their religion. Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experiences. Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went first. 'Well,' he said, 'I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation.' Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip. In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he exclaimed, 'WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we Baptists don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus. Hallelujah!' The Priest and the Reverend both looked down at the Rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction, with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He was in really bad shape. The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start." ********************** ******************************************** OCCUPATION IN RETIREMENT The importance of an occupation after retirement

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither.

Harold Schlumberg is such a person:

THIS IS QUOTED FROM HAROLD:

"I've often been asked 'What do you do now that you're retired?' Well...I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and whisky into urine. It's rewarding, uplifting, satisfying and fulfilling. I do it every day and I really enjoy it."

Harold is an inspiration to us all.
