PRESIDENT IRENE’S PAGE
Dear Fellow Rotarians
It is an absolute honour and privilege
to be your President for this Rotary
year. But as a single head achieves
nothing, I am counting on the support
of all our members to achieve the
growth and goals we are striving for.
This is truly a moment to be honoured
and cherished and I will do my very
best to make you proud of our club,
but as I said I will need the co-
operation of all our member clusters. I
will devote my time and energy to the
obligations and duties of this post and
support our members with their
activities, and now being retired, I
plan to make an effort to visit our
various clusters.
There is an old saying “Do not pray for
tasks equal to your powers, pray for
your powers equal to your tasks.” We
have lots of tasks waiting for us during
this Rotary year.
During this year it must be our goal to
transform all the possibilities and
opportunities into success stories. As
outlined by Past President Gerald, we
have MADE A DIFFERENCE with
Project Dignity, the Educational
Programmes and all the numerous
little projects that our Rotary E-Club
of South Africa One can be proud of.
Rotary – MAKING A DIFFERENCE was
the RI President’s theme for last year
and our club certainly followed that
theme. But we are not stopping here;
we will BE THE INSPIRATION to
continue making a difference with our
ongoing projects and any new ones
that come our way and we are
thankful for the wonderful financial
assistance that we receive from our
Australian, Canadian, United
Kingdom, German and Estonian
Rotary friends.
I am looking forward to working with
all our members to achieve the small
and GREAT things that we strive for
and at the same time having FUN
Irene
“Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting
change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.”

FROM PATRICK COLEMAN
A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
- The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
- The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
- The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
- The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the minister reported the following results:
- The first worm in alcohol - Dead.
- The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead.
- Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead.
- Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.
Just then a little old woman in the back quickly raised her hand and said, "I get it! As long as
you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!
