President's Christmas Message 
“A fight is going on inside me,” said an old man to his son. “It is a terrible fight between two wolves.  One wolf is evil.  He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf is good.  He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.  The same fight is going on inside you.”
The son thought about it for a minute and then asked, “Which wolf will win?”
The old man replied simply, “The one you feed.”

Very proud Grandparents. 
 
Thank you so much to all who were able to attend our Christmas function.  It was great to share time with members, partners and friends, and to enjoy fellowship and entertainment.
Of course, a Christmas function just doesn’t happen!

Parting Thought
 
Robin Aitken provided the parting thought at the end of the evening -
" Let us be grateful for the friends we have and those we are yet to meet.  Let's send love and healing light to those who are hospitalised and acknowledge and thank those who serve us and remember in prayer those who we serve as rotarians"
