Dining with the Reno and the Salvos
Reno welcomed everyone in the chapel to this evening of thanksgiving for the support provided by Unley Rotary. He showed a video of the Salvos
Vision of Service and a range of photos commencing with establishment of the Unley centre in1888.
The display was about the many volunteers, upgrading of the premises, food and coffee served, the Saturday market, Christmas gifts and hampers, Christmas Day luncheon, Red Shield Appeal and projects, including support for the boys home in Bali, Ruth and Naomi House, Bramwell House and engagement of Scotch College in serving of barista coffee for Saturday visitors. Reno has been looking after Unley for 17 years.
In the courtyard we were entertained by a talented pair of country and western musos in the form of Carrie and Stompie.
Stompie assured the editor that this was the name that he was born with.
The meal comprised vegetable soup, roast chicken, pavlova, and melting moments with coffee .....all delicious! Each table had a Salvos host which worked rather well.....the editor's table had Sammy, Terry and Daniel
The Red Shield Appeal started 40 years ago and our club was there at the beginning. Guan, the coordinator of the RSA explained that it was a tough year for fundraising, with Reno being the only one in SA to meet the target set.....and he was the 5th best in the country.
Reno expressed his thanks for the continued support of our club for the Appeal and our involvement in many of their endeavours, like the provision of wheelchair accessible toilets, refrigeration, Christmas Day furniture and help, post-tsunami assistance for Sulawesi and a number of other areas mentioned earlier. The coffee machine sourced by Robyn will work well for the barista adventure with Scotch College students. Proceeds from bottles being collected are being sent to the boys home in Bali.
A more recent initiative is to use the City Salvos van to serve coffee on a Thursday night to those sleeping rough and on Friday to visit playgrounds and flats. There is no shortage of opportunity for volunteering.
Reno thanked Gina, Joel, Rose, Wayne and Maureen for the cooking and delivery of the food.
Applause prevailed!
Finale
President Graham thanked Reno and his band of volunteers for a wonderful night. Wendy is to do Paul's shift on Thursday. The food and company was marvelous! Perhaps those Rotary households where the edibles are not that edible should seek advice and training from the Salvos chef. And the Salvos notebooks provided should help those who are prone to forget their responsibilities for our meetings set-ups and welcomes.

The Tale End
Naked Ambition
Two little old ladies, Connie and Jean, were sitting on a park bench outside the local town hall where a flower show was in progress.
The short one, Jean, leaned over and said, "Life is so boring. We never have any fun anymore. For $10 I'd take my clothes off and streak through that stupid, boring flower show!"
"You're on!" said Connie, holding up a $10 bill.
So, Jean slowly fumbled her way out of her clothes. She grabbed a dried flower from a nearby display and held it between her teeth. Then, completely naked, she streaked (as fast as an old lady can) through the front door of the flower show.
Waiting outside, her friend soon heard a huge commotion inside the hall, followed by loud applause and shrill whistling. Finally, the smiling Jean came through the exit door to the sounds of a cheering, clapping crowd.
"What happened?" asked Connie.
"I won $1,000 as 1st prize for 'Best Dried Arrangement'!"
