This is a late Bulletin due to Anzac Day and the Editor and his staff being away until today. Last Tuesday club member Shirley Roberts spoke to us of the amazing work being done over at Port Lincoln where she and hubby Kevin have been coordinating an effort to get families lives back together after the devastating bushfires in 2102 by rebuilding their fence lines. She told us that so far 48 volunteers from 10 clubs have given their time and effort to construct 13 km of fences for 7 families. The conditions are quite rough and the work has been hard as the ground they are digging through is mainly granite and limestone but the generosity of locals has helped in the donating of 2 vehicles and hole diggers with special bits to get through this ground. In true Rotary fashion a Rotary Club from Broken Hill South had volunteered to build a shelter at the Mikara Picnic Grounds with materials donated by the Port Lincoln Rotary Club.

We heard that other than the monies donated by clubs in the Districts 9500 and 9520 Kevin has had to go out and raise funds to keep the project running and has raised over $5000 from local businesses over there, an amazing effort. Shirley explained that their accommodation has been donated free of charge at the Lions Hostel in North Sheilds by the Lions Club of Port Lincoln. It is quite comfortable, although it sometimes has to be shared with other parties including school children. We have Shirley and Kevin with us for the next 5 weeks then they head back to Port Lincoln to complete the project over a final 2 week period. They are looking for anyone interested in helping out so if you have some time off coming up and are interested in contributing to this incredible project please let them know. Shirley and Kevin are both doing incredible work again over on the Eyre Peninsula showing how Rotary gets out into the community to help those less fortunate, a fantastic effort from some amazing people. A reminder to you all to get out to your allocated club over the next 2-3 weeks to promote our Reel Event Movie Night coming up next month. It promises to be a bigger and better event than last year’s inaugural show so we all need to get out and let the Rotary world know it is on and hopefully sell a few tickets. Well done to Pamela, Kirsty and Mina in getting the packs ready for us to go out and do this!! Remember this is a club event that requires everyone’s efforts to make a success. See you tomorrow morning to hear Tiana and Krystyna speak about their Rypen experiences.

Mari T came prepared with her Roaring Twenties look, but Mark who was attired in his 21st Century lounge suit, had no shame in stripping Lindsay’s still warm body to capture the mood of the evening. I suspect there will be a big fine for Thommo at tomorrow’s meeting for this.

Australian History 1873 – William Gosse departs Alice Springs on an expedition, during which he discovers Ayers Rock. 1874 – Alf Gibson, companion to explorer Ernest Giles, disappears in the desert, resulting in the naming of the Gibson Desert. 2001 – Australian newspaper 'The Sydney Morning Herald' erroneously reports that the British Flying Saucer Bureau has closed down due to lack of UFO sightings. World History 1896 – Following Edison's invention of the motion picture, the first film is presented to a large audience in a movie theatre.
Thought for the Day 1: You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Thought for the Day 2: I cook with wine; sometimes I even add it to the food.
