Inaugural Camp Opportunity 2013

The inaugural District 9455 Camp Opportunity was conducted recently 

at the Point Walter Recreation Centre and culminated in a dinner at which the campers

 and their buddies were presented to the many people who attended.

As one would expect at such a function, 

the organising committee and the corps of helpers were thanked 

and praised by District Governor, Philip Skelton, and rightly so.

 This is a huge undertaking and the work and dedication 

of everyone involved deserves such recognition.

One of the campers, Darren White (pictured above with Rotarian Brian Atkins, 

the Camp Opportunity committee chair) volunteered 

as the spokesperson for the campers. 

Darren gave a short, but heart felt,

 speech in which he spoke of the fun they had all had during the week 

and thanked the organisers,

 and Rotary, for the opportunity to attend the camp

Must watch.

 Never forget these moments of perfection...

A few minutes of perfection

Something for you to enjoy

watch in full screen

 I was in a department store when I heard on the public-address system

 that the optical department was offering free ice cream.

 I headed down the escalator to take advantage of the offer,

 trying to decide on vanilla or chocolate.

 I was nearly drooling when I got to the optical section and said to the clerk

, "I’m here for my ice cream." 

"Ice cream?" came the reply.

 "Sorry. What we have is a free eye screening."

A mother firefly was taking her children for a walk near dusk, 

and they came to a dark woods.

"All right, kids," she ordered, 

"line up, and whatever happens, don't shine your light.

 There are owls in the forest

 and they might fly down and eat you!"

The small fireflies did as they were told, 

with the youngest firefly at the end of the line.

 As they were moving carefully along,

 suddenly the mother saw a light far back.

"Stop!" she whispered.

"Who lit the light back there?"

"I did," admitted the youngster.

"You heard what I told you," scolded the mother.

"Why did you disobey?"

"Well," said the little one,

 "when you gotta glow, you gotta glow!"
