"Happy Mothers Day" Means More
"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,'
And that I honor you.
But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.
TIARO COMMUNITY CENTRE will honour Mothers' Day with a competition featuring colouring in and writing a letter for school children who are residents of the Tiaro Shire. Entry forms available at Tiaro Shire Council Office and at schools. If you are travelling the Bruce Highway on Saturday May 7 look out for the Mothers' Day Bazaar and street stall at Tiaro.

Judge: "Can't you settle this out of court?"
"That's what we were doing when the police interfered."
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM DAISY THE COW?
Wake up in a happy mooo-d,
Don't cry over spilled milk.
Never take any bull from anybody.
Turn the udder cheek and mooo-ve on.
Seize every opportunity and milk it for all it's worth.
Honour thy fodder and thy mudder and all your udder relatives.
ANZAC Day
"This day of days again we keep -
In memory of those who sleep
Away beyond the quiet sea ....
Away in far Gallipolli
'Tis ANZAC Day - 'Tis ANZAC Day...
Our soldier comrades far away,
They died in war - that we in peace
May live and love that war may cease."
Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations.
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you
from age.
We must act as elders of the tribe, looking out for the interests of the future and preserving the precious compact between the generations.

Excelsior Club
Jim and Maria are being sadly missed. Their loyal contribution to the club has extended over many years and their departure to Toowoomba has left a space that is proving very difficult to fill. As usually happens, it is only when such stalwarts of a club are unable to continue their gift of time and skills that their time and skills are truly appreciated.
A volunteer bus driver for the Fairhaven Bus to bring clients to and from the Excelsior Club on a Wednesday is urgently needed. Please pass this message on to anyone you know who may be interested.
Judge to habitual defendant: "Is this the first time you've been up before me?"
