A.G. CHRIS SUTTON:
Chris was an apology as attending Finley Rotary meeting, but forwarded this report from Phil Clancy.
At our District Conference in Yarrawonga we discussed a planned program to have Rotarians Home Host International University Students for a long weekend.
LaTrobe University is now set to take up our invitation to have an initial group of students participate in this program, this first hosting will be held during the student long weekend period from Friday 21st to Monday 24th September.
I am therefore keen to know if you are still willing to be involved as a Host family during this period in September.
If this is possible I will send you more details and our requirements. We are looking forward to making this program a further opportunity to enhance International Understanding and Peace through Rotary.
Looking forward to hearing from you over the next few days.
Chris commented:
Looking for volunteers to host some International Students. If someone could host, someone else might take them out for the day or we may be able to organize something as a Club. I can’t host, but very happy to be tour guide for the day. River trip or silo art, the footy, milking cow, lots of options. Some of these students apparently never get an opportunity to visit rural areas.
NEXT MEETING
DATE: MONDAY 20th AUGUST 2018
VENUE: NUMURKAH GOLF & BOWLS CLUB

Bill Gates picks his own punishment
Satan greets him: "Welcome Mr. Gates, we've been waiting for you. This will be your home for all eternity. You've been selfish, greedy and a big liar all your life. Now, since you've got me in a good mood, I'll be generous and give you a choice of three places in which you'll be locked up forever.
Satan takes Bill to a huge lake of fire in which millions of poor souls are tormented and tortured. He then takes him to a massive coliseum where thousands of people are chased about and devoured by starving lions. Finally, he takes Bill to a tiny room in which there is a bottle of the finest wine sitting on a table. To Bill's delight, he sees a PC in the corner. Without hesitation, Bill says "I'll take this option."
"Fine," says Satan, allowing Bill to enter the room. Satan locks the room after Bill.
As he turns around, he bumps into Lucifer. "That was Bill Gates!" cried Lucifer. "Why did you give him the best place of all!"
"That's what everyone thinks" snickered Satan.
"The bottle has a hole in it!"
"What about the PC?"
"It's got Windows 95!" laughed Satan.
"And it's missing three keys,"
"Which three?"
"Control, Alt and Delete."
