A Very Little Business Meeting, A Very Special Visitor and our two RYLA students visit us this week.

We had the lowest attendance at breakfast for a very long time with more apologies than attendees.  It did mean that we got through the business meeting very quickly as half the Board were absent.  The real reason for the low attendance was the visit by our ADG for next Rotary Year, Angela Neill.  We had heard that she is the Godzilla of 9400 and many of the apparent absentees were really present but having breakfast in the kitchen.  Angela is sitting next to President Elect Jankees Sligcher who is on his best behaviour because you can just see her electric cattle prod leaning against the wall behind her.

This week Eleanor Hough will be bringing Duduzile Fikeni & Ayanda Moorosi from Macauley House School.  They were sponsored by the Club to attend the last RYLA weekend and it will be interesting to hear their impressions.

 Duduzile will be inducted as President of our second Interact Club at Macauley House on Saturday at 12,30.  There will be a lunch which will cost R60.  Joan Donet will give us more information on Wednesday.


And just to cheer you all up, a photograph of Allan having one of his more spiritual moments, I think.
