Latest Club Bulletin
NEWSLETTER NUMBER 256 AUGUST 2011
Hello Ladies,
I hope you all enjoyed our speaker Eileen Pearce as much as I did. I think you all did as we ran out of time for our meeting!
Lis, Sue and I attended the Club Officer’s Assembly on the 25th of July. Even though we have all been before we found it interesting and l certainly gained more information about being a President.
Our President’s Day Out was on the 10th of August. 25 of us, including Rotarians, family and friends all went to Harewood House. We had a great day even though the weather was not at its best. The forecast was to be a lot worse, so we did well. It is a lovely house with very nice gardens and a bird garden. We all enjoyed a two course meal with waitress service. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
That same evening I attended a get together of all the new presidents at our District Chairman, Janet Whittles’ house. I got to talk to one or two of the presidents and had a very enjoyable evening.
I am looking forward to the next three weeks as my niece is coming back from Australia to have her baby christened. I have a week and a half off work during which we plan on seeing a lot of them!
Yours in friendship
President Ann

see Gallery for picture of Ganesha
Ganesha: One of the five prime Hindu deities. His head symbolise the soul and is therefore represented by the wise elephant. His human body represents the existence of human beings. He rides on a mouse symbolising the humility of the deity in being associated with such an insignificant creature. In his right hand he holds a goad with which he propels mankind forward on the eternal path and removes obstacles. The noose in his left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties.
Ganesha is the God of Beginnings and the Lord of Success and Destroyer of Obstacles.
What an excellent icon for our new committees evening!
