A beautiful, spring like day, but cold, with a temperature of minus 4 degrees.
Wow, what a crowd this morning, we taken unawares with the numbers attending, but Shirli managed to feed us all a hearty breakfast.
George led us with "Oh Canada", which must have been heard for at least two blocks, there were some great singers amongst us! Our honored guests today were District Governor Elect Norm Watts, Andrew Rycroft, Chairman of The Oceanside Hospice Society, Betsy Christianson, Executive Director of The Oceanside Hospice Society, RCMP Officer Steve Larkin accompanied by several RCMP Officers and Courtney and Zack from Stetson and Spurs.
Andrew and Betsy were our joint speakers today and talked to us about the Oceanside Hospice Society, which is a great organization. The presentation was with a slide show and narrative mainly by Betsy. Thank you both for coming to our meeting and presenting your topic. The web page for the Society can be seen at www.oceansidehospice.org and is well worth a visit.
President Jim presented a cheque for $500.00 to RCMP Officer Steve Larkin, which was for Stetson and Spurs 50/50 draw winning ticket was drawn by Betsy, but when it came to the other half of the procedure the blue marble remained in the in the pouch, sorry Betsy.
We missed seeing today Diana, Greer, David McLelland, Mike and Raven.
Today's smile.
Two priests died at the same time and met St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but, our computer is down and you'll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but, you can't go back as humans. What'll it be?"
The first priest says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle, soaring above the Rocky Mountains." "So be it." Says St. Peter and off flies the first priest.
The second priest mulls this over for a moment and asks, "Will any of this week 'count', St. Peter?" "No, I told you the computer is down. There's no way we can keep track of what you're doing. This week's a freebie."
"In that case," says the second priest, "I've always wanted to be a stud."
"So be it." Says St. Peter and the second priest disappears.
A week goes by, the computer is fixed and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests. "Will you have any trouble locating them?" He asks.
"The first one should be east," says St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies, flying with the eagles. But the second one could prove to be more difficult."
"Why?" asks the Lord.
St. Peter answered, "He's on a snow tire somewhere in Cape Breton!"
