The Rotary Club of Jerrabomberra will be hosting an information night presented by Felix Mollel & Kim Saville from the School of St Jude in Arusha, Tanzania. Felix will be speaking about the School of St Jude and how he came to work there. He will talk about his family life, his Maasai tribe and growing up in Tanzania. He will explain how St Judes has empowered him, along with 400 other Tanzanian colleagues, to develop skills, learn English and as part of a community, fight poverty through education. Guests will be captivated by Felix's story.It is also the story of how an Australian woman made a huge difference in an African country with the support of many Rotary clubs in Australia and is continuing to do so. It really is a celebration of success and triumph of the human spirit. This is the first time that Felix has travelled outside Africa so it will be a very special time for him. There will be time for questions and answers. All district Rotary club representatives, family and friends are invited to attend this evening on: Thursday, 31st October at Jerrabomberra Public School Hall at 7.30 pm. Tea and coffee will be provided. Please notify numbers attending for catering and seating purposes to: chris.hunter@det.nsw.edu.au by 25th October, please. We thank you in anticipation of making the effort to support Felix and the School of St Jude. Yours in Rotary Chris Hunter Immediate Past President, For Rotary Club of Jerrabomberra Ph. 62998860 (w)

Stripped Gears" - The Magazine's humor page - 1940 - Rotary. Stripped Gears, the magazine's humor page of the Rotary, first appeared in January 1940 although cartoons and jokes had been published since the early days. The Stripped Gears column was "retired" by the editors in May 1983, when the magazine changed its format, but readers disagreed with the decision. By popular demand, the column was reinstated in April 1984. The magazine started publishing humorous cartoons in its early years, and continues to run six or seven per issue. Most contributions to Stripped Gears come from Rotarians throughout the world.
