PRESIDENT‟S REPORT
FEBRUARY
January was a relatively quiet month, as far as
the Lions‟ activities were concerned.
The BBQ at Blackalls was enjoyed by all who
attended. Unfortunately, I had mobility
problems and couldn‟t make it.
On the Saturday before the markets we had a
working bee , where we cleaned up the van
and remarked the market sites. The next job to
be done is to wash and possibly polish the
exterior of the van.
The weather next day for the Markets was
very doubtful, consequently many stallholders
chose not to come, and our takings were down
about 50%, although van takings were
reasonably good.
Many Lions and their Ladies attended John
and Judy Steele‟s 50th Wedding Anniversary
on Friday 20th and all enjoyed the occasion,
which was held in and around the new shelter
at Lions Park.
Congratulations John and Judy.
Please do not forget to book in for the Club‟s
Youth of the Year function on the 21st of the
month
Yours,
Trevor

CLUB NOTES AND REMINDERS
The Nominations Committee will be doing

Keith, I have been dragged into the 21st
Century and now have a mobile phone.
Could you please add it to the
Membership list in the Bulletin? Number
is 0487656847 Regards Trevor.
Youth Exchange time is coming. The list of
young people has been copied and spread
around the dinner tables. If you would like to
host someone, please take one of the sheets.
Anyone interested in assisting with
Bernadette Elliott’s learner drivers should
contact her on 4950 3880, or talk to the
Bulletin Editor.
Remember to BOOK IN for the YOY dinner –
Frank needs to know whether your partner is
coming or whether you’re attending by
yourself.
There are currently lots of rumours
circulating about the latest Workplace
Health & Safety legislation and its effect on
volunteers. Why not wait until the
professionals have actually gone through
it before you decide whether there’s any
effect on us? My reading says that it still
only applies to paid workforces, but I’ve
been known to be wrong.
Clean Up Australia is coming again, and
th
before the next Bulletin. The date is 4 March,
and the Club needs to register if we want to
be involved. We could also register as a site
supervisor. No time to wait for the Board
meeting on this one.
The latest ALF Newsletter has been printed
and copies of it are on the dinner tables for
circulation.
From MD Council,
National Cake sales were up. Largest Kg
increase was Q3 closely followed by N3
Prices to increase on some items for 2012
Fudge inclusion in the Mint program will be
put to the Perth convention.

The Stranger
A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was
new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated
with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live
with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was
around from then on.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my
young mind, he had a special niche. My parents were
complementary instructors: Mum taught me good from evil,
and Dad taught me to obey. But the stranger... he was our
storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with
adventures, mysteries and comedies.
If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science,
he always knew the answers about the past, understood the
present and even seemed able to predict the future! He took my
family to the first league game of the season. He made me
laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking,
but Dad didn't seem to mind.
Sometimes, Mum would get up quietly while the rest of us were
shooshing each other to listen to what he had to say, and she
would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet. (I wonder now if
she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.)
Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the
stranger never felt obligated to honour them. Profanity, for
example, was not allowed in our home - not from us, our
friends or any visitors. Our long time visitor, however, got
away with four-letter words that burned my ears and made my
dad squirm and my mother blush.
My Dad didn't permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger
encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes
look cool, cigars manly, and pipes distinguished. He talked
freely (much too freely!) about sex. His comments were
sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally
embarrassing.
I now know that my early concepts about relationships were
influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed
the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked... And
NEVER asked to leave.
More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in
with our family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as
fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you could walk into my
parents' house today, you would still find him sitting over in his
corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him
draw his pictures.
His name?....We just call him 'TV.'
Now, he has a wife. We call her 'Computer.'
Their first child is "Cell Phone". Second child "I Pod "
To help save the economy, the Government will
announce next month that the Immigration
Department will start deporting seniors (instead of
illegals) in order to lower Social Security and
Medicare costs.
Older people are easier to catch (offer them a free
anything) and they won‟t remember how to get back
home.
I started to cry when I thought of you.
Then it dawned on me ... oh, crap ...
I'll see you on the bus!
February 2012
Dear Keith,
Just a short note about the workshop I
attended that was organised by Ann Ryan
and yourself.
It was a well presented workshop. We
had the right number for the room and
well setup. I had a good opportunity to
meet other attendee from other clubs. It
was a friendly atmosphere. I learned
more about the history of Lions, where it
started and how it started in Australia,
how many countries in the world have
taking part in this special charity work. I
learned about how many members there
are in Lions Organiations, the hierachical
system in Lions. We could find out more
about Lionism in its website. We also
were explained how the membership fee
was distributed through the Lions
Organisation.
It certainly interesting time. I am looking
forward for other workshop that could be
provided by the Training Chairman.
I could not finish without saying thanks
to both presenters, Ann and yourself, and
of course the nice lunch that Ann
provided. Lunch time break gave us an
opportunity to chat with other attendee as
well. The timing was good that allowed
us to ask and made comments during the
presentation.
Overall, it was good, friendly and I
learned more about Lions. However, I
would like to see a map of zones and
clubs that related to our district to give us
a vision of appreciation of how DG and
Zone chairmen travel to visit their own
clubs.
Best regards,
Lay Siv
Training for incoming officers will be
changed this year to encompass a wider
range of members.
LDT Chair Ann Ryan has been talking to
our district‟s leaders and will be restructuring the club officer training so
that it‟s more interactive, and so that it‟s
aimed at the entire board of a club, not
just the president, secretary and treasurer.
The intention is to take some of the
mystery out of all positions so that more
Lions may be prepared to take roles on.

Monastery Life
A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old
canons and laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So,
the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small
error in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all of the
subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, 'We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my
son.'
He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as
archives in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the
old abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the
wall and wailing. "We missed the R ! We missed the R ! We missed the %@# R !"
His forehead is all bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, 'What's
CELEB
wrong, father?' With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, 'The word was...
R ATE
Fable of the porcupine
It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided
to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded
their closest companions. After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die,
alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the
Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the
close relationship with their companions in order to receive the warmth that came from the others. This way they were
able to survive. Moral of the story: The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but is when
each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.
The real moral of the story......LEARN TO LIVE WITH THE PRICKS IN YOUR LIFE.
Farm economics?
George and Tim McGillivray saw an ad in the Daily Newspaper in Cohuna, Victoria, and bought a donkey
for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next morning the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, your donkey died
last night"
George and Tim replied, "Well, then just give us our money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead donkey."
The farmer asked, "What in the world would you do with a dead donkey?"
George said, "We're gunna raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Tim said, "We sure can! We don't hafta tell anybody he's dead!"
A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into George and Tim at the local grocery store and asked.
"What'd you fellers do with that dead donkey?"
They said, “We raffled him off like we said we would."
Tim said, “We sold 500 tickets for two dollars each and made a profit of $898."
The farmer said, “My Lord, didn't anyone complain?"
George said, "Well, the bloke who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."
George and Tim now work for the government as financial advisers to the Treasurer.

.
OLD FART PRIDE
Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; particularly during the
playing of the National Anthem. Old Farts remove their caps and stand
at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words
and believe in them.
Old Farts remember World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal ,
Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean
War, The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They
remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005, not
to mention Vietnam .
If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize. If
you pass an Old Fart on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady.
Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women.
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always, when walking,
make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and
children and they don't like any filth or dirty language on TV or in
movies.
Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity. They seldom
brag unless it's about their children or grandchildren.
It's the Old Farts who know our great country is protected, not by
politicians, but by the young men and women in the military serving
their country.
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic, sense of
responsibility, pride in their country and decent values. We need them
now more than ever.
Thank God for Old Farts!
