Take the lift immediately in front of you all the way up to the 4th floor. This brings you out in front of the office block for Pacific Place One. You need to take the office building lift to the 39th floor. On arrival, spin around clockwise three times, quietly utter the perimeter password "JABERWOCKY", then Moonwalk into the meeting room.

Accompanied by their spouses, some 530 incoming governors join a host of experienced Rotarian leaders for a week of training and motivational sessions. At the assembly, they meet the special Rotarian who will serve as RI president during their year as governors, and they learn the RI theme for the coming year, around which they will build their district’s activities. The first International
Assembly was held in Chicago, Illinois, USA, in 1919. Later assemblies
were held in Lake Placid, New York, USA; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Boca
Raton, Florida, USA; and Nashville, Tennessee, USA. In recent years the
assembly has been held in Anaheim, California, USA. But regardless of the
venue, the message on the sign above the plenary hall has remained
unchanged for years:
“Enter to learn…go forth to
serve.”.
Golden Smile: A Minister decided that a visual demonstration would
add emphasis to his Sunday Sermon. He placed four worms into four separate
jars. The first worm was put into a jar of alcohol. The second worm was
put into a jar of cigarette smoke. The third worm was put into a jar of
sperm. The fourth worm was put into a jar of clean soil.
At the conclusion of his Sermon, the Minister reported
the following results:
The worm in the alcohol was dead.
The worm in the cigarette smoke was dead. The worm in the sperm was dead. The worm in the clean soil was alive and well. The Minister then asked the congregation - "What can
you learn from this demonstration?
A little old woman in the back quickly raised her hand
and said; "As long as you drink, smoke and have sex, you won't have
worms?"
Quotable Quotes:
"The grand essentials of happiness are: something to
do, something to love, and something to hope for".
