Unsung Heroes Award Ceremony

The Unsung Hero today was Evelyn Read.

 Evelyn has been a volunteer at the Perth Zoo since 1982

 when the volunteer organisation was first established.

Her primary role as a guide 

or as she is officially known as a Docent

 is to talk to the visitors but there are many

other areas Evelyn has taken responsibility

for these last 32 years. 

They range from looking after the animals mental

 and physical health, to collecting Termites as

animal food, to fund raising,

 to maintaining the Zoo archives,

 to keeping all the other 30 odd guides happy

 and content with their roles.

The Mill Point Rotary Selection Committee

 was unanimous in their decision to award the

2014 Unsung Hero Award to Evelyn Read

 Spot the odd one out!!

Lets go for a ride!!

An American astronaut has an emergency during his re-entry 

into earth's atmosphere and his space craft

 crash-lands in the Australian bush,

 way out in the middle of nowhere. 

After what seems like an eternity,

 he wakes up in a bush clinic, very rustic, dirty,

 with foul smells and he is bandaged from head to foot.

 He sees a very large, somewhat gruff looking nurse

 approaching him as he lies in his cot.

 "Did I come here to die?" he says

 with a deep sense of resignation and fear.

 "No," the Aussie nurse replies,

 "You came here yesterday."

Very Clever Ad

A planeload of Pepsi flying over Africa had a malfunction and went down. 

 A few weeks later, the Pepsi Company sent a rescue plane.  

They searched the area and found a tribe of cannibals. 

 They walked up to the Chief of the tribe 

and asked him if he knew anything about the crash.  

The Chief said, "You betcha!" 

     When asked where the crew was, the Chief replied,

 "We ate the crew, and we drank the Pepsi."  

The Rescue crew were shocked. 

     One man asked, "Did you eat their legs?" 

     The chief replied, 

"We ate their legs, and we drank the Pepsi." 

     Another rescuer asked,

 "Did you eat their arms?" 

     The Chief replied, 

"We ate their arms, and we drank the Pepsi." 

     After looking totally perplexed for a minute, a third asked,

"Did you... you know... eat, their... their 'things?'" 

     The Chief says, "No." 

     "No?" asked the rescuer. 

     "No," replied the Chief.  

"THINGS go better with Coke."
