Guest Speaker:
Vocational Visit. Scotchman’s Hill Winery was the very good choices to learn about a vocation most of us enjoy the fruits of the workers labors. Approximately 40 Rotarians and many partners were carefully stewarded around the winery accompanied by their glasses (those for the wine tasting).
I understand the tour guides provided a comprehensive explanation of the wine making process while your editor enjoyed her own tour close to the bar. It is easy to see why Gary enjoys working there as he gets to taste the fruits of his alchemy rather more than the rest of us and a lot more cheaply too I guess. The winery provided a good deal for members and it appeared that several took advantage of the offer. Many members will probably mote along in a mellow mood for sometime to come.
The winery visit was followed by dinner at the Drysdale Hotel, which most seemed to enjoy. This excursion was a great change from our normal format and many thanks are extended to Gary for organizing the event.
Forward Planning… Partner’s night
29th May - Annual Davidson’s Restaurant (at the Gordon) Evening.
Please note partners are automatically booked in for a Partner’s
Night, so if not attending an apology MUST be recorded.
Some more Girlie wisdom:
-Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.
- Amazing! You hang something in your wardrobe for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes.
- The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.
- I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That is my idea of a perfect day.
AG.
