Fellow Rotarians, at the beginning of May the integration between the RI and D9370's

ClubRunner database was activated. Now all Rotarians of Klerksdorp Rotary Club in

the new District 9370 can login to the Admin section of the district website and update

their own member profile - no need to wait until 1 July.

Go to the D9370 website at http://www.rotary9370.org.za and this will take you straight

into ClubRunner (http://www.clubrunner.ca/Portal/Home.aspx?did=9370). Once there,

the first thing you must do, is to acquire your personal Login Name and Password. Click

on the Login link near the top right of any page. Then follow the instructions for "New

Club and District Directories, communicate with other D9370

Rotarians. And depending upon your position in your Club and in

the District, there will be other things you can do.

When you update your own profile (which should be everybody's priority), don't forget

to provide a suitable head-and-shoulders photo - for the edification of those who don't

THIS WEEK’S

BRAIN TEASER

Last night at the Paper Mill Ball, betting achieved a fever pitch. Waldo

Pennypacker simultaneously dropped two sheets of writing paper (A &

B) from shoulder height. Which piece of paper will touch the floor first?

How could you ensure that paper A would land first? Of course, nothing

could be attached to or added to either sheet of paper. Answer on last page

Klerksdorp Rotary Club Meeting Report – 24 May 2013

By Mike Waks

President Nico (right) held a meeting with a

difference at the premises of Guitar Man on

the corner of Plataan- and Monica Roads,

Flamwood. Robbie Williams said grace after

which Pres Nico introduced his son, as well

as his brother Andries and our host for the

day Gerrit Rademeyer of Guitar Man.

Birthday wishes were extended to Johan Swart for 20th May, Izane for the 21st, John Cook for the

23rd and Adri Minnaar on the 25th. There were no anniversaries.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• HEADBOY/HEADGIRL DINNER President Nico reminded members of the on Tuesday, 28th

May 2013. Those who still wanted to attend to advise Mike Stocken.

• CLUB ASSEMBLY to be held on 7th June 2013.

• PEACE WALK/RUN/CYCLE at Faan Meintjies on Monday, 17th June 2013, which is a Public

Holiday.

Presdient Nico also advised that he has held that “load shedding” is on its way.

PEACE QUOTE was to the effect that those of us who “see evil” and do nothing to prevent it are

hampering Peace.

President Nico introduced our guest and host for the day, Dr. Gerrit

Rademeyer (right), who is the principal of the Guitar Man. Our

guest speaker has a doctorate in theology and post graduate degree

in music. He is a businessman and is going to enlighten us to what

the Guitar Man does.

Gerrit then addressed us, telling us that the school has been in

existence for 1 year and 5 months. They started with 1 teacher and

now have 20 teachers. There are at present 700 students and they

receive lessons from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 22:00. The

average cost is R350.00 per month.The school covers basically four

areas namely: service, sales, training and performance.

The school sells all kinds of musical instruments as

well as art requirements. In regard to the training the

school teaches music, art, dance, as well as, study

methods. The music being for all instruments and a

coach for classical as well as all types of modern

music.

They also run a language school teaching Biblical Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Aramaic and have

recently embarked on teaching Tswana and will shortly start with lessons in Portuguese and

Spanish. All forms of dance are taught and the art classes have four teachers teaching sketching,

oil painting, etc.

The students perform their expertise at various venues and also participate in music exams which

now comprise both classical and rock and pop music from grades 1 to 8. The motto of the school

is: “We will rock you!”

The school has a service department where they service all types of musical instruments. They

also do sound installations. Their vision is to start a sound recording studio, a ballet school and

also open an art gallery.

After his address our speaker was thanked by Brian

Smith and Johan Swart (left) was our sergeant and

entertained us with a series of “music” jokes.

Robbie Williams (right) did the four-way test and the

President closed the meeting so that members would

have the opportunity to inspect the facilities.

TTTWWWIIITTTTTTEEERRR FFFOOORRR DDDUUUMMMMMMIIIEEESSS by Jody Ann Pearton

Contribution by Joe Visser

Over the past few weeks I have found myself talking to various

clients and associates about the benefits of social media. To many

industry professionals Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Pintrest all

sound too complicated to even begin to fathom but they are beneficial marketing

tools that need to be embraced.

With technology flying as fast as it is, it is essential that every establishment

embraces social media platforms and rides the wave, otherwise you will be left

behind. You will find using Twitter fun and educational as well as a valuable source of

interaction with your patrons and colleagues. It is an easy way to have very personal

interaction with immediate effects and results. The best part of Twitter is that you are

able to make it your own by following the individuals and brands that you want to and

therefore you will only see posts by likeminded and interesting individuals. It is a user

-friendly, interactive and quick which means that you waste less time and achieve

better results than on many of the other socials networking platforms.

TTTHHHEEE AAARRRTTT OOOFFF BBBEEECCCOOOMMMIIINNNGGG AAA TTTWWWEEEEEETTTEEERRR:::

SSSttteeeppp 111::: Download Twitter onto your mobile, laptop, pc or tablet. Click “sign up”

and create an account. If you do have other social media platforms use the same

name so that you are traceable. Your username, otherwise known as you Twitter

handle, is how people are going to identify you on Twitter.

SSSttteeeppp 222::: Learn the lingo.

Tweeter: Person who tweets

Tweeps: People who follow each other from one

social network to another

Tweets: Posts on Twitter

Tweeting: Act of posting a tweet

SSSttteeeppp 333::: These are the fundamental lessons that you need to know to be effective

on Twitter. Do not be put off if you do not remember this all immediately – it’s more

important to just to start and learn as you go.

� @signs: Are used to tag a user in a tweet. Search for people by their @username

or actual name.

� #signs are called “hashtags”. They are used to put a word or phrase into a

category. You are able to search hashtags on Twitter to follow conversations

about the same subjects with other tweeters or follow tweets about events that

you are hosting or attending.

� Retweet (or RT): It’s a symbol on Twitter that looks like two arrows forming a

square. You are able to click the “retweet” icon to post other people’s tweets onto

you own feed so that your followers are able to see it too.

� The “favourite” star: A star-shaped icon used either to “bookmark” a tweet for

later reference or to “like” a tweet, using Facebook lingo.

� “Trending”: Is what happens when a lot of people are talking about the same

subject at the same time. When you tweet about an important event happening

at your establishment or a great new product launch, you ideally would like it to

trend. This happens by others retweeting your tweets or “hashtagging” you.

SSSttteeeppp 444::: Now it’s time to follow tweeters and find followers. There is a magnifying

glass on the top of your screen which allows you to search for people to follow. Click

the magnifying glass and search for brands and people that interest you.

CAUGHT On CAMERA

Oh goodness

gracious me …

What hilarious music

jokes – quite a high

note to end the

meeting on.

But he forgot the one

most appropriate to

NorthWest:-

Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I'll show you A-flat

miner.

Still on a musical note

.... .... what about one

appropriate to South

Africa?

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a racecar is not called a racist?

For example, my Twitter handle is @chefjodes so you can either type that directly in

and click search or you can search for my full name “Chef Jodi-Ann Pearton” or just

”Jodi-Ann Pearton”. These searches will bring up results and all you have to do is click

“follow”. The icon will then change to read “following” which will show you that you

are now following the nes feeds of that person or brand and their posts will come up

on your homepage. If at any point you get bored with that particular person, you can

simply search for them again and click “unfollow”.

HHHIIINNNTTTSSS

An important thing to remember is that tweets can only be 140 characters long.

This means that you need to be concise and precise in your messages. Always be

aware of what you tweet so as not to offend others or send a bad marketing

message for you or your establishment.

Followers love images so try and take interesting photographs and insert them

into your tweet for a bit of additional interest. By adding images you do however

lose some of you 140 characters so your text will need to be shorter.

To include other tweeters into you tweets you simply add their twitter handle

into you post. For example: @chefjodes would write: “I am busy writing an

amazing piece for @HR_magazine all about @twitter #basics”. These are just

the basics of Twitter and as you begin to use it you will see the benefits of how it

can help you and your establishment to stay top of mind.

PPPOOOIIINNNTTTSSS TTTOOO RRREEEMMMEEEMMMBBBEEERRR

� It is never too late to start using Twitter

� Be open-minded

� Do not be afraid to try it

� Be discreet about what you post – it is an open

forum

� Have fun. If used correctly it is an amazing tool

ANSWER

TO THE BRAIN TEASER If you bet on this puzzle, you'd better make your first bet a large one because

this solution will only work once. Simply take sheet A and crumple it into a

ball. When released, the crumpled sheet will drop straight down to the floor

while sheet B will slowly float down.
