Hello Ladies,

A big thank you to those who donated to the collection for the Women’s Refuge, Marilyn Heselhurst was very happy with the generosity of our Members. She will be accepting any other donations again on Tuesday.

President Anne reports that the Kew Gala Day was an enjoyable day. She and four other Lake Cathie bowlers visited Kew B.C last Tuesday and had a good game on a good grass green.

As you all may have read in an email from Secretary Di, sadly Anne Todd has had to resign her position on the Match committee.  We thank her for the wonderful job she has done as Carnival Secretary and send her, and husband Lyall, all our best wishes and look forward to her visits when she is able.  

Following the resignation of Anne from Match, a casual vacancy is now available. 

Di Fischer would welcome "Expressions of Interest" in the position to be submitted to her, as Secretary, by the closing date of 1pm Tuesday 8th March 2022. There will also be a notice posted on the Board.

As this is a “casual” vacancy what better time than now to put your hand up and see what Match is all about!  Remember without volunteers nothing would happen

Joke of the Week 

A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife.

She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand. Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk.

She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk. He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching. For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well.

Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, "You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels." The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night. 

One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock and no hired hand. Finally he returned around two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.

She quietly called him over to her. "Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said. Trembling, he did as she directed. "Now take off my boots." He did as she asked, ever so slowly. "Now take off  my socks." He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her  boots. "Now take off my skirt." He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire light.

"Now take off my bra." Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor. Then she looked at him and said, 

"If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired."

Sending our best wishes to all who are unwell, hope to see you back soon

Cheers
