Bob Morrow on District Assistant Governor - and some Robert Service poetry

Bob Morrow, dressed in his colourful Kenyan kaftan gave a brief talk on the role of the District Assistant Governor in Rotary.

But before this, to give us our money's worth - he talk of another Service and recited the poem by Robert W. called The Ballard of the Ice-Worm Cocktail.

If you missed it, you can read it at The Ballard of the Ice-Worm cocktail 

We then heard about the ADG job  which is  devoted to helping to develop District Goals, particpating in the Foundation Program, visiting clubs on a regular basis and promoting District events. He encouraged members to attend the forthcoming District Conference in Niagara. Information on this is on the District website.

Then we were treated to another Robert Service poem recited by Bob, this one was the cremation of Sam McGee. Accompanying both poems were some interesting pictures of life in the Yukon gold rush. You can hear Johnny Cash doing a Bob Morrow imitation of this poem on Youtube.
