Meeting - TONIGHT:
KGM BOD Members are reminded that the next KGM BOD meeting will be held tonight at 6:30 p.m., Monday 27 September, at the Regus Business Centre, 39/F One Pacific Place, Admiralty (not at the Holiday Inn). For BOD members who tend to get lost in their own
bathrooms, our old mate IPP Patricia
"Iron Lady" Blair has kindly provided the following
instructions:
Leave the MTR at Admiralty via the Pacific Place exit. This brings you out to the basement of Pacific Place One (next to La Cite and Thai Basil restaurants). 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. If you can't
attend call President Silva "Dollar"
Yeung on 9408 1198 or Secretary Mazhar "Bizarre" Sultana on 9303
8881, NOW.
Attendance:
KGM Attendance Director Clarissa "Ring My" Bellstedt reminds members
that it's not much use if you do a make-up and don't bother telling her.
Moreover, she is not very pleased that our recent attendance has been
hovering at the 59% mark, which is slightly shy of the minimum.
Now since Clarissa is a German lass, we don't want to
upset her, now do we? You have been warned.
Make-Ups can be reported to her through the KGM website or by
sending her an email.
Fund-Raising: Our old mate and fitness guru Susie "Madam Lash" Misini, advises that she
has entered the LaSalle Bank
Chicago Marathon, an event which covers a distance of
42km which takes place on
Sunday 10 October 2004.
This will be Susie's 7th marathon, and it's also the
2nd marathon where she will be running to raise money for KGM's Community
Service Fund. KGM members interested in sponsoring Susie should make
their pledges by email.

Serving young people has long been an important part of the Rotary program. Youth service projects
take many forms around the world. Rotarians sponsor Boy Scout and Girl
Scout troops, athletic teams, centers for disabled children, school safety
patrols, summer camps, orphanages, recreation areas, safe driving clinics,
county fairs, child care centers, and children's hospitals. Many clubs
provide vocational counseling, establish youth employment programs, and
promote use of The 4-Way Test. Increasingly, drug/alcohol abuse prevention
and AIDS awareness projects are being supported by
Rotarians.
In every instance,
Rotarians have an opportunity to be role models and mentors for the young
people of their community. One learns to serve by observing others. As our
youth grow to become adult leaders, it is hoped each will achieve that
same desire and spirit to serve future generations.
The slogan accepted over
50 years ago is just as vital today.
Golden Smile: A young woman discovered that her dog had hearing
difficulties, so she took it to the veterinarian.
The vet found that the problem was excessive hair in
the dog's ears, so he cleaned both ears and the dog could hear fine. The
vet then advised the young woman that if she wanted to keep the problem
from returning, she should buy some "Nair" hair remover and gently
apply it to the dog's ears once a month. So the young woman went to
her local pharmacy to buy some "Nair" hair remover.
At the register the pharmacist advised her: "If you're
going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few
days."
The young woman says "I'm not going to use it under my
arms."
The pharmacist says: "OK, if you're using it on your
legs, don't shave them for a few days."
The young woman, becoming impatient, says "I'm not
using it on my legs either; if you really must know, I'm using it on my
schnauzer."
To which the pharmacist replied: "In that case, don't
ride a bicycle for at least a week."
Quotable Quotes:
"Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous
elections are held, at great cost, without issues, and with
interchangeable candidates".
