SERGEANT'S SESSION - John M
* Sergeant John commenced his session with a joke about a well to do
man who offered to take a 'down and outer' home to his wife for a lovely
home cooked meal, but not as the good Samaritan as one would think. John
checked if anyone knew the Rotary theme for October - informing everyone it
would be Economic and Community Development and quoted George Bernard Shaw
'that progress is impossible without change'. Collingwood and Carlton
supporters were fined for supporting teams that lost, and the reason
Melbourne lost to Sydney was because our club president fell asleep - oddly
enough, Melbourne supporters were not fined! Charles R was fined for
sharing a name with the new sovereign "King Charles", and club members who
did not attend Arco Bar were fined.
