President’s report
President’s Report SEPTEMBER 2020
By Allan Potter
Valued Members,
With Covid restrictions graduatly easing it is pleasing to see members building confidence and return to our
friendly Club. We have seen more new members and visitors join in our festiveties and sample some of the
great food from our kitchen. Friday’s Music & Dinner proved a succesfull concept, as well as our Valentines
event. Many couples and friends shared a memorable evening. Our dedicated games players are at the tables
Wednesdays and Fridays and always welcome a little extra competition so come join in. Want to try your
hand at Triominos, Rummikub or Klaverjassen? Or something different put the challenge out. Grab your
friends and pull up a chair at the games table. A good friend of mine has kindly offered to teach a little
ballroom dancing. The board is looking at how to accommodate this, if you have a passion for this or just
want to give it a whirl, let me know. Other interesting ideas have been put forward and we are working on
bringing our members more entertainment. - Allan J. Potter
We are looking for Indonesian Dutch or Dutch
Indonesian members and contacts for a Ballarat based
movie producer that has made a documentary. He is
looking to screen in Melbourne and Sydney later this
year and is seeking contacts through the club for
connections. Email Rembrandtclub@optusnet.com.au

the list as admission may be limited.

Kitchen Corner
By Alice Vanderheg
What better dish to serve on St Patrick’s Day
then a hearty Irish stew. Stew is a dish that has
been made all over Europe and every region has
its own variety and flavour. Made with potatoes
and carrots and a fine piece of quality marbled
meat this is going to be a flavour sensation that
you don’t want to miss. Please book your meal
where possible to avoid disappointment or just
drop in on the day if you poses a little Irish Luck.
Every Friday the kitchen is ready to
serve a variety of culinary delights.
From ‘Broodje haring met uitjes’ to
a full plated meal. We have you
covered with delightful options that
will make your tastebuds sing with
joy. Make it a date, bring a friend
and enjoy a club with a difference.

Laughter is the best Medicine
By YOU
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked
about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other, except that the little old woman had a shoe box
in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these
years, he had never thought about the box, but one day, the little old woman got very sick and the doctor
said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and
took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he
opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.He asked her about the
contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage
was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a
doll." The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box.
She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with
happiness." Honey," he said, "that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come
from?""Oh," she said. "That's the money I made from selling the dolls."
Last year, I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double pane energy efficient
kind. But this week, I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work had been completed a whole
year and I had yet to pay for them. Boy, oh boy, did we go around! Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean
that I am automatically stupid. So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast-talking sales guy had told me
last year. He said that in one year, the windows would pay for themselves. There was silence on the other
end of the line, so I just hung up, and he hasn't called back. Guess he was embarrassed.
A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.
'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once.
TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going
to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You
NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you
LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE
THE SALT! THE SALT!' The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't
know how to fry a couple of eggs?' The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels
like when I'm driving.'
A man buys a parrot and brings him home. But the parrot starts insulting him and gets really
nasty, so the man picks up the parrot and tosses him into the freezer to teach him a lesson. He
hears the bird squawking for a few minutes, but all of a sudden the parrot is quiet. The man
opens the freezer door, the parrot walks out, looks up at him and says, "I apologize for offending
you, and I humbly ask your forgiveness." The man says, "Well, thank you. I forgive you." The
parrot then says, "If you don't mind my asking, what did the chicken do?"

We love receiving your
pictures at our events.
More and more new faces
come in to say hi and
sample the food.
Two elderly women were eating
breakfast in a restaurant one
morning. Ethel noticed something
funny about Mabel's ear and she said,
"Mabel, did you know you've got a
suppository in your left ear?" Mabel
answered, "I have a suppository?" She
pulled it out and stared at it. Then she
said, "Ethel, I'm glad you saw this
thing. Now I think I know where my
hearing aid is."
