GUEST SPEAKERS
Rob introduced our 2 Ambassadorial Scholars, Alex Bowles & Allison who then went on to give us interesting illustrated talks on their lives and backgrounds prior to becoming Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars to SA. Alex Bowles hails from Roanoke, Virginia (a mountainous area, the Appalachians and is attached to the Tygerberg Rotary Club and is studying Development Studies at UCT having attended the oldest University in the USA; College of William & Mary. She’s not new to Africa having spent much time in East Africa particularly working with the Masai. She’s a mean (but petite) weight lifter with a host of interests including Blue Grass music, playing a snippet of her hometown music for us! Allison Ballard hails from Wilmington in North Carolina, USA, a port city and is a freelance writer while also studying for her Master’s degree in Environmental Writing through UNC-Wimington. At UCT on her Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship she is reading Development Studies, focusing on Development & Ecology. Wilmington is interesting: the world’s largest Rotary Wheel, is big on film, big on water and is home to 24 carnivorous plants (the Venus Fly Trap) and has a rich history. Allison is with the Kirstenbosch Rotary Club working on their projects: Family Health Days and the Full Belly Project. We all wish Alex & Allison well in their endeavours, their time at their respective Rotary Clubs, their studies here at UCT and their time in South Africa. May the whole experience contribute strongly to their lives, future careers and understanding. Thank you both very much for talking to the Rotary Club of Wynberg and being with us.

And the winner is …….
PRESIDENT’S QUOTE Because the Editor was asleep/too drunk the Presidents quotes were not recorded but will be detailed in the next Wynpress. Apologies to both the President and the Club who I know live and conduct their lives by El Presidentos quotes! The following is offered pro tem:
Woe to the poor accountant! Here is a collection of accountant jokes! Enjoy! What’s the definition of an accountant? Someone who solves a problem you didn’t know you had in a way you don’t understand. What’s the definition of a good tax accountant? Someone who has a loophole named after him. What’s an auditor? Someone who arrives after the battle and bayonets all the wounded. Why did the auditor cross the road? Because he looked in the file and that’s what they did last year. There are three kinds of accountants in the world: those who can count and those who can’t. How do you drive an accountant completely insane? Tie him to a chair, stand in front of him and fold up a road map the wrong way. What do accountants suffer from that ordinary people don’t? Depreciation. An accountant is someone who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. An accountant is having a hard time sleeping and goes to see his doctor. “Doctor, I just can’t get to sleep at night.” “Have you tried counting sheep?” “That’s the problem — I make a mistake and then spend three hours trying to find it.” TAILPIECE
