This month, we continue our series of possible ideas for "fun events" on or close to the special days coming up in the next month or so. Remember that we would like to see photos of your fun events so we can share them with others in this segment. To the right is one fun event close to our hearts as the members of the Rotary Club of Casterton enjoy their Rock Dance at the Casterton hall.
On another matter, since the hilariously memorable session by Patricia Cameron Hill and Dr Shayne Yates at our Conference, the District has been subscribing to their "Friday Funnies" - a mail-out of jokes suitable for mixed company at Rotary meetings. If you want a huge source of great jokes, visit their website at: http://www.chy.com.au/instant.html#funnies

Go to www.daysoftheyear.com to find a complete list of special days. Here's a sample collection with some ideas for fun events in May.
May 4th - Star Wars Day: See how many members can remember a quote from one of the original Star Wars movies, maybe watch a very short segment of the movie, freeze the DVD and members have to guess what happens next, have members share if and when they saw the movies and who they were with
May 7th - Leg of Lamb Day: A great opportunity for a Lamb Roast meal with Mint sauce
May 8th - Iris Day: Present an Iris to a female member or a partner for their contribution to the club
May 12th - Limerick Day: A limerick competition?
May 21st - One Day without Shoes Day: Well maybe not a day, but how about a meeting with no shoes? Maybe provide some air deodorant?!
May 23rd - Turtle Day: Can any member bring a turtle to Rotary and share the vale of turtles to the balance of nature - if the age group is right, maybe some music from the "Turtles" e.g. "Happy Together"
May 26th - Blueberry Cheesecake Day: There's your sweets taken care of, and/or maybe a voting competition for the member who can make the most popular Blueberry Cheesecake
May 27th - Cellophane Tape Day: How about a competition for the most unusual use of Cellophane tape, or members share moment when stick tape got them out of a fix
May 28th - Amnesty Day: Have someone to speak about Amnesty and maybe the club could make a donation
May 30th - Neighbour Day: Have members share stories of the most unusual neighbour they ever had, or the most neighbourly act they've ever experienced
