Please remember to ring Jacqui on:
We are privileged to have members in our
club that are totally dedicated to serving the
local community in Eaglehawk and the YMCA
in particular. Bernie mentioned in his interview
that Eaglehawk Y’sMen have donated more
than $400,000 to the community around
Bendigo.
Joyce mentioned that her award is a reflection
of the work done, not only by herself, but
many caring people in the local area.
Laurie spoke about the great work our Eaglehawk club has done over the years and how
proud he is of its achievements and benefits
we provide to the needs of the community.
It is occasions like this that bring to mind the
passion all of the Y Service Clubs have to serve
their communities in ways that benefit their
local folk and why it is important to encourage
New Membership for the continuance of our
organization.

I know this looks a bit messy in that tent but look how happy
Chris and Barb are. The ladies have just learnt the results of
their teamwork for the day at Bunnings Sausage sizzle. Close
to$1150 net, taken over the 8 hours. Most women ‘s club members were able to pop in for two hours each to ease the burden. A tremendous result and well done to the Women’s Club.

What it’s all about
The Fun Page Three
Now is the Time
HUMOUR
A golfer is in a competitive match with a friend, who
is ahead by a couple of strokes.” Boy I’d give anything to sink this putt,” the golfer mumbles to himself. Just then a stranger walks up beside him and
whispers, “ Would you be willing to give up one
fourth of sex life?” Thinking the man is crazy and his
answer would be meaningless, he turns to the man
and says, “Sure.” Amazingly he sinks the putt.
Two holes later, he mumbles to himself again, Gee, I
sure wish I could get an eagle on this hole.” The
same stranger is at his side again and whispers,”
Would it be worth giving up another fourth of your
sex life?” Shrugging the golfer says,” Okay.” and he
makes the eagle. On the final hole, the golfer needs
another eagle to win the game. Without waiting for
him to say anything, the stranger quickly moves to
his side and says,” Would winning this match be
worth giving up the remainder of your sex life?”
‘Definitely,” says the golfer and he makes the eagle.
As the golfer is walking to the clubhouse, the
stranger walks alongside him and says,” I really
haven’t been fair with you because you don’t know
who I am, I am Satan, and from this day forward you
will have no sex life.””Nice to meet you ,” the golfer
replies, “I am Father O’Malley.”
Thanks to Ian Wild for this Joke of the month.

Walking into the pub, Michael said to Charles the bartender,” Pour me a stiff one Charlie, Just had another
fight with the little woman.” “ Oh yeah?, and how did
this one end?” asked Charles. “ When it was over she
came to me on her hands and knees.” Michael replied.
“Really?” said Charles. “ Now that’s a switch! What did
she say?” She said,” Come out from under the bed, you
little chicken!”

A Kiwi and an Aussie were sitting around chatting one afternoon over a cold beer. After a while the Kiwi says,” If I was to
sneak over to your house and make love to your wife while
you were out fishing and she got pregnant and had a baby,
would that make us related?” The Aussie crooked his head
sideways for a minute then scratched his head and squinted
his eyes thinking real hard about the question. After a while he
says, ”Well I don’t know about related, but it sure would make
us even.”
