**********************
An elderly couple was killed in an accident and found themselves being given a tour of heaven by Saint Peter. "Here is your oceanside condo, over there are the tennis courts, swimming pool, and two golf courses. If you need any refreshments, just stop by any of the many bars located throughout the area." "Heck, Gloria," the old man hissed when Saint Peter walked off, "we could have been here ten years ago if you hadn't heard about all that stupid oat bran, wheat germ, and low-fat diets!

It is also important to share the useful information in its pages with others.  Recycle your magazine at your Dentist or Doctor's Office. Share Rotary!

with your guests. Let them know that all bids on the Silent and Live Auctions will be matched with a grant from Oregon Community Foundation to fund a dental health and treatment program for children in grades K-3. SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!!! We still need volunteers to help with set-up on Friday afternoon as well as some help the evening of High on Health. We will be passing out at sign up sheet at lunch on Wednesday.

HUMOR: Generosity
At an Rotary meeting in Manchester, a visiting Rotarian, who happened to be a wealthy American, announced that he had lost his wallet containing £10,000 and would give a reward of £100 to the person who finds it.  From the back of the hall a Scottish voice shouted, "I'll give £150!"
