This is an email I received from District
Governor Elect Geoff Goll:
Dear
District Leaders.
As you are all
aware, District 6650 raised over $62,000 for Katrina Relief
during Gov.Jack's year. What a great effort!!!
However, the
gulf coast still needs our help. The county wide library
system along the Mississippi coast lost 5 of its 8 libraries
with the Gulfport library having over 30,000 books swept back
into the gulf alone.
I have
been in touch with the Harrison County Library system and they
have not even started building new libraries yet as they are
still fighting with their insurance companies, but do know that
they will not have much coverage for lost books
As a part of
Pres. Elect Bill Boyd's emphasis on Literacy, I would like
to announce a year long district effort to collect hardbound
books , which we will store and sort with the help of
Rotaractors and Interactors in the Salem area
When the
system can handle our books, we will pack them and truck them to
Gulfport Miss.This may a year or two away.
Sooooo
as I make my official visits, I will be looking for the books
your club has collected and I am asking that each Rotarian
in the district clean out their own libraries, basements and
those of of their friends and other members of their
communities.
This is
a great project for your interact club.
Please have
the books packed in boxes that can be easily lifted.
Please use
this project as a public relations opportunity and pass on to
your local press your clubs efforts and results. Please
ask your newsletter editor to highlight this project all year.
Can we collect
1,000---3,000 or even 5,00 books this year?
I will also be
asking for a hardbound book as the price of admission to the May
13th district assembly--July 22 foundation/membership
seminar--Jan 20th mid -year assembly and the district conference
next April 27.
Any questions,
please e-mail me or call me on my cell 330-565-7489

Jokes of the Week
People were in their pews talking at church. Suddenly, Satan appeared
at the front of the church.
Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance,
trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon everyone had exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who
sat calmly in his pew without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that
God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep, sure do"
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.
"Nope, sure ain't." said the man.
"Don't you realize I can kill with a word?" asked Satan.
"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man in an even tone.
"Did you know that I could cause you profound horrifying AGONY for all eternity?" persisted
Satan.
"Yep," was the calm reply.
"And, you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.
"Nope," said the old man.
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of
me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 44 years."
Sixth grade science teacher Mrs.
Samson asks her class: "Who can tell me which organ of the human
body expands to 10 times its usual size when stimulated?"
Nobody raises a hand, so she calls on the first student to look her way.
"Mary, can you tell me which organ of the human body expands to 10
times its usual size when stimulated?"
Mary stands up, blushing furiously. "How dare you ask such a
question?" she says. "I'm going to complain to my parents, who
will complain to the principal, who will have you fired!"
Mrs. Sampson is shocked by Mary's reaction, but undaunted. She asks the
class the question again, and this time Sam raises his hand.
Yes, Sam?" says Mrs. Sampson. "Ma'am, the correct answer is
the iris of the human eye."
"Very good, Sam. Thank you." Mrs. Sampson then turns to Mary
and says, "Mary, I have 3 things to tell you: first, it's clear
that you have NOT done your homework. Second, you have a DIRTY mind. And
third, I fear one day you are going to be sadly disappointed."
One day, during a lesson on proper
grammar, the teacher asked for a show of hands from those who could use
the word "beautiful" in the same sentence twice.
First, she called on little Suzie, who responded with, "My father
bought my mother a beautiful dress and she looked beautiful in it."
Very good, Suzie," replied the teacher. She then called on little
Michael. "My mommy planned a beautiful banquet and it turned out
beautifully," he said. Excellent, Michael!"
Then, the teacher called on little Johnny. "Last night, at the
dinner table, my sister told my father that she was pregnant, and he
said, "Oh that's beautiful, just beautiful!"
