R otarians have planted trees in the name of fellowship, friendship,
and community service since the early 20th century.
These trees, which can be found worldwide,
have grown into enduring monuments of Rotary’s ideals.
As president emeritus, Harris traveled extensively during the 1920s and 1930s,
often accompanied by his wife Jean.
During these trips, the nature-loving Harris planted trees
to symbolize goodwill and friendship.
In the fall of 1932, Harris embarked on a five-week tour
of European Rotary clubs and planted trees along the way.
“Wednesday forenoon I planted my first tree of friendship in European soil.
It seemed to me especially appropriate that it took place in Germany—
in its metropolis—Berlin.
The planting occurred in a sports platz formerly devoted to war purposes,
and a large number including Rotarians, city officials
, and others were in attendance.”
Harris also planted trees in Tallinn, Estonia,
and Göteborg, Sweden, during this trip.
Planting trees soon became a hallmark of his travels,
including in Australia, Brazil, Estonia, Japan, Mexico, and New Zealand.
In My Road to Rotary Harris recalled:
“With the cooperation of Rotarians and local governments,
I have planted friendship trees in the parks
and playgrounds on five continents of the world
and even on some of the major islands of the seas.
Our trees stood as symbols of international understanding and good-will.”
Other RI presidents also observed the tradition.
In 1931-32, then-RI president Sydney W. Pascall planted trees
at the sites of Rotary clubs he visited,
reportedly at Paul Harris’s suggestion.
Not all of the trees were planted outside the United States.
The Harrises often entertained visiting Rotarians and dignitaries in their home,
Comely Bank, and planted trees with their guests to mark the occasion.
They called the garden their Friendship Garden.
Today, Rotarians continue to plant trees to symbolize
enduring friendships and fellowship
, to beautify parks and communities,
and to contribute to a greener world.

On Wednesday 6th October
The Rotary Club of Cockburn and The Rotary Club of Rossmoyne
Joined forces and had a combined dinner
for The District governor's official visit.
Held at The Riverton/Rossmoyne Bowling Club
both clubs enjoyed a fabulous buffet dinner
followed by thought provoking speech by Dr Marilyn Barton.
Rossmoyne President Maxine Harrison hosted the evening
and invited the DG to address the members of both clubs
and the Cockburn President Larry Wale called for questions
from the members and asked for a show of thanks.
The evening was a great success with both clubs
showing once again what great fellowship
can be had when you get a room full of Rotarians together.

"Quote of the Week"



SMILE!!!!!!





There was a Scottish painter named Smokey MacGregor
who wasvery interested in making a penny where he could,
so he often thinned down his paint to make it go a wee bit further.
As it happened, he got away with this for some time,
but eventually the Baptist Church decided to do a big restoration job
on the outside of one of their biggest buildings.
Smokey put in a bid, and, because his price was so low,
he got the job.
So he set about erecting the scaffolding and setting up the planks,
and buying the paint and, yes, I am sorry to say,
thinning it down with water...
Well, Smokey was up on the scaffolding, painting away,
the job nearly completed,
when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder,
the sky opened, and the rain poured down washing the
thinned paint from all over the church
and knocking Smokey clear off the scaffold to land
on the lawn among the gravestones,
surrounded by telltale puddles of the thinned and useless paint.
Smokey was no fool.
He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty,
so he got down on his knees and cried:
"Oh, God, Oh God, forgive me; what should I do?"
And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke..
"Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!"

A game warden noticed how a particular fellow named Sam
consistently caught more fish than anyone else,
whereas the other guys would only catch three or four a day.
Sam would come in off the lake with a boat full.
Stringer after stringer was always packed with freshly caught trout.
The warden, curious, asked Sam his secret.
The successful fisherman invited the game warden to accompany him and observe.
So the next morning the two met at the dock and took off in Sam's boat.
When they got to the middle of the lake,
Sam stopped the boat, and the warden sat back to see how it was done.
Sam's approach was simple.
He took out a stick of dynamite, lit it, and threw it in the air.
The explosion rocked the lake with such a force
that dead fish immediately began to surface.
Sam took out a net and started scooping them up.
Well, you can imagine the reaction of the game warden.
When he recovered from the shock of it all, he began yelling at Sam.
"You can't do this! I'll put you in jail, buddy!
You will be paying every fine there is in the book!"
Sam, meanwhile, set his net down and took out another stick of dynamite.
He lit it and tossed it in the lap of the game warden with these words
, "Are you going to sit there all day complaining,
or are you going to fish?"
