The members of the Rotary Club of Patong Beach thank the outgoing President Karen Eidsvik-Moody    for her leadership this past Rotary year                                      July 2018 to June 2019.

 

 

 President Karen was always present and spent countless hours to keep this Rotary club a vibrant   one. Together with her husband Gary Eidsvik-Moody, who was serving as President-Elect and   sadly passed away on January 10th. Together they were a perfect team and despite the huge   loss Pres. Karen completed her Rotary work in a fantastic way.

 During her year we switched back from a lunch meeting to dinner meetings.

 Under her leadership, we conducted several projects successfully and she hands over a healthy   club to incoming President Jonathan Russell.

 President Karen will always be remembered as the first female President of the Rotary Club of   Patong Beach. Thank you, President Karen, for a great Rotary year!

 SAA for today PP Andy welcomed all members and visitors to a sit-down Thai dinner, prepared superbly by the Millenium Hotel.
 He then asked our newly anointed president Jonathan, to open the meeting with the first  gong of the Rotary Year and a speech to start off:  
 
 
 P. Jonathan: A little of Who Am I:
 
First visit to Phuket in 2004, and fell in love with the Thai spirit of sharing and helping during the Tsunami disaster, and then returned here in 2005.
 
 Background hobby / vocation and duties included Advertising and designing, volunteering as a community policeman, and also a reserve in the Royal Artillery Army in UK.
 
 Did some real estate in Phuket, and then managed Helicam.asia Aerial photography and video company, and presently the Juristic person & manager of a condominium in Patong. 
 
 Goals for the new RC year: to increase membership and to actively engage all   members in our club.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Next was Sec Walter: Asked all members to update their details on Club Runner.

A recently married wife sent the following note complaining about her husband:
 
 Dear Tech Support,
 Last year I upgraded from boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown   in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which   operated flawlessly under boyfriend 5.0.
 
 In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as:             Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such   as: NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.
 Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House cleaning 2.6 crashes the system. Please   note that I have tried running Nagging 5.0 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
 What can I do?
 
 Signed,
 Desperate.
 
 
 Tech Support replied   
 
 Dear Desperate,
 First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an   operating system
 
 Please enter command: I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and   do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed,   Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the application Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
 However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default   to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very   bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
 
 Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a   virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources).
 
 In addition, please do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are   unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0
 
 In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and   cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to   improve memory performance. We recommend: Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.
 Good Luck.
