Rotary Club of Mill Point

South Perth based Mill Point Rotary Club are embarking on a really big fundraising project.

They are attempting to reignite some spark into the heart of Perth

 and have ambitiously planned the first annual BHP Billiton Ramble for October 9th.

 Described as a cross between the ‘Amazing Race’ and a treasure hunt,

 the Ramble is expecting to see thousands of competitors hit the streets of Perth

 in the name of fun and charity.

 More about brains than brawn, teams will use foot power and public transport

to uncover hidden checkpoints at iconic landmarks and quirky locations

across the city where they’ll solve puzzles and challenges.

 The event is accessible to everyone and will have a wheel chair-friendly course.

Designed to attract families, friends, university students and corporations, it’s going to be a big day.

 Funds raised will benefit Australian Rotary Health and Telethon.

 The BHP Billiton Ramble will begin from Forrest Place in the centre of Perth on October 9th.

 Rotary Clubs of Western Australia are encouraged to help spread the word

 about this terrific event as well as to join in the fun and enter a team at

www.rotaryramble.com

 Rotary Club of Heirisson

 

The Commonwealth People’s Forum is one of several parallel events

 being run in association with CHOGM.

The Peoples Forum will occur in the week preceding CHOGM

 and is organized by the Commonwealth Foundation

and hosted by the Western Australian Council of Social Service with the support

 of the Western Australian and Australian Governments.

The agreement between Rotary and the Commonwealth Foundation

 is aimed to provide bed & breakfast accommodation

 for delegates attending the Peoples Forum.

 Delegates will pay $120/night plus GST for a maximum of six nights between October 23 - 29.

It is expected that many of the delegates will only require 3 – 4 nights accommodation.

 Of the total charges, $100/night is to go to the Rotary Clubs of host Rotarians

 and $20/night will go to the Rotary Club of Heirisson for project management.

 It is a condition of the agreement that all funds raised from this initiative are used for Rotary projects.

The benefits of this project are threefold:

•Promotion of Rotary which will be acknowledged on all marketing material related to CPF

•Fundraising of $20,000+ will benefit Rotary projects nominated by local Clubs

•An excellent fellowship opportunity between Rotarians and international and national visitors

We now seek Rotarians to participate in home hosting to make contact with the coordinator:

September 4th is Fathers Day



--------------------

Two sea monsters were swimming around in the ocean, looking for something to do.

They came up underneath a ship that was hauling potatoes

. Bob, the first sea monster, swam underneath the ship,

 tipped it over and ate everything on the ship.

A little while later, they came up to another ship, again hauling potatoes.

 Bob again capsizes the ship and eats everything onboard.

The third ship they found was also hauling potatoes.

 Bob once again capsized it and ate everything.

Finally his buddy Bill asked him,

 "Why do you keep tipping over those ships full of potatoes and eating everything on board?"

Bob replied, "I wish I hadn't, but I just can't help myself once I start.

 Everyone knows you can't eat just one potato ship."

My boyfriend, Daniel, gave me a dozen roses on my birthday,

 and on the card he wrote:

 I'll love you until the last rose fades away.

 Among the eleven real roses, he had added a fake 12th one.

The next day, he gave me another plastic rose,

 and the week after, another one.

 "So I guess that's the last one," I stated.

He looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked how I knew.

 "Well," I replied,

"the tag on the second rose you gave me read '3 for 99 cents.'"
