Dear Members & Friends of the Dutch Club Neerlandia/Sydney
 
Well how did Reimer go last Sunday? The next time Reimer is back we are going to have a singalong for a few numbers.  The date will be Sunday the 11th July, you
will be notified before of which numbers so get your tonsils in singing order.
 
For lunch this Sunday Karel will be creating his NB pannenkoeken and the kitchen
volunteers will be providing you with a dish we had previously RAGU.  We will also
have the usual appelflappen, poffertjes, croquettes and haring while we still have it.
Also Rookworst on a roll is still available;  there will be something for anyone.
 
We still have paling (smoked eel) available from both the kitchen and shop as well
as rookworst. Our locally made apple crumble pie and boterekoek from
Koek & Cake will also be available from the kitchen.
 
Our membership draw of $10.00 was not taken up by Mr Aernhout Kerbert #142
so for this Sunday it will be $20.00.
 
A reminder that this Thursday the 10th June there will be funeral service for one
of our dear members Elisabeth van Herten at St. Kevin’s Church Dee Why at 1.00pm.
 
Also we would like to thank Ruby-Anne for the donation of a big saucepan and
electric wok which will come in very handy in the kitchen, thank you Ruby-Anne.

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they are not prepared
for the answer.
In a trial, a Southern small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a
grandmotherly  elderly woman to the stand.  He approached her and asked,
‘Mrs. Jones do you know me?’  She responded, “why, yes, I do know you
Mr Williams. I’ve known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you’ve been
a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate
people and talk about them behind their backs.  You think you’re a big shot when
you haven’t the brains to realise you’ll never amount to anything more than a
two-bit paper pusher.  Yes I know you.’
The Lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the
room and asked, “Mrs Jones, do you know the defence attorney?’
She again replied, ‘Why yes. I do. I’ve known Mr Bradley since he was a youngster,
too. He’s lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem.  He can’t build a normal
relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state
not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women.  One of them
was your wife.   Yes, I know him.’  The defence attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both councillors to approach the bench and in a very quiet voice
said ‘If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me I’ll send you both to the
electric  chair….!!
 
So it is good night from him and it is good night from me.
