________________________________________________________

 

ON 13-JAN-2008 AFTER 3 DAYS OF DELIBERATIONS
There were nearly 1500 Registrants of whom about 1200 were
Rotarians from 80 odd clubs. Nepal accounted for nearly 200 delegates.
We were privileged to hear some memorable speeches.

On the eve of the birth of Dist 3291 (India) and 3292 (Nepal) on
1st July 2008, Rtn Ratna Man Shakya, Nepal's DGN 2009-10 and
PDG Tehmas Manekshaw spoke emotionally about their ties with India.
It was moving to see Indian Rotarians giving a standing ovation to
the Nepalese Delegation. The Conference Hall remained nearly full
till the very end.

TIME FOR SOME FUN

 

Rotary District 3290 is trying to form a Cricket team and we are
requesting Rotarians who are interested in cricket and physically fit
to take the rigours of practising 2 days a week ( Wednesday/ Friday)
for 2 hrs- 7:30 am- 9:30 am at the TOWN CLUB GROUNDS, MAIDAN
(at the Mayo Road crossing) to contact the undersigned on
98311 31596 or PP Premendu Bikash Barua- 98300 68657.

The purpose of the training camp is that a Rotary-Rotaract cricket
match is to be held in March'08 and a few more cricket matches are
lined up before that.
 
We are trying our best not to be thrashed by the Rotaractors.
 
But actually we are enjoying every minute at the nets.
So come and join us.
 
Thanks and warm regards
Subhojit

A MEDICAL JOKE
_______________________________________________________

 

THE PSYCHIATRIST AND THE PROCTOLOGIST
 
Two doctors opened an office in a small town and put up a sign
reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology."
 
The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors
changed it to "Hysterias and Posteriors."
 
This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy the council
they changed the sign to "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids." No go.
 
Next, they tried "Catatonics and High Colonics."
Thumbs down again.
 
Then came "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives."
Still no good.
 
Another attempt resulted in "Minds and Behinds."
Unacceptable again.
 
So they tried "Lost Souls and Butt Holes."
No way.
 
"Analysis and Anal Cysts?"
Nope.
 
"Nuts and Butts?"
Uh uh.
 
"Freaks and Cheeks?"
Still no go.
 
"Loons and Moons?"
Forget it.
 
Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with:
"Dr Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends."
 
Everyone loved it....
