August Focus - Membership and Club Extension
New members, and all members, will find Rotary attractive when they understand that Rotary supports six areas of focus:

DG Jim's August Message
***
“Once upon a
time, when women were birds,
there was the
simple understanding that
to sing at dawn
and to sing at dusk
was to heal the
world through joy.
The birds still
remember
what we have
forgotten,
that the world is
meant to be
celebrated.”
~Terry Tempest

THE UNITED
STATES–CANADA BORDER IS the longest in the world. It stretches 5,525 miles
from Maine to Alaska, traversing land, sea, and untouched wilderness. As such,
you might assume this colossal border would be left untouched by
humankind, merely an invisible line on a map. But you’d be wrong.
Every year, the
average American taxpayer pays half of a cent to the International Boundary
Commission (IBC) for the sole purpose of deforesting every inch of the
U.S.–Canada border.
With an annual budget of $1,400,000, the IBC ensures that
the boundary will never be just an imaginary line.
Known as “the
Slash,” this treeless zone is 20 feet wide and covers everything from narrow
isolated islands to steep hillsides. Spanning national forests and towering
mountains, the vast majority of the Slash is so remote that it will never
receive any visitors (aside from a handful of bears), yet it is still
painstakingly maintained every six years with grueling hours of exhausting
manual labor.
And our national anthem.
Recorded in celebration of Canada’s Sesquicentennial Anniversary.

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
July 3. Another wonderful meeting! Informative
and fun!
-- Sharon Blaker,
E-Club of Canada One
Attended the
regular RECCO meeting on July 6 featuring main presentation by Shola Richards
speaking on “Ubuntu.” Ubuntu – meaning
“I am because we are” is a fantastic word that we could include in our Four Way
Test.
-- Keith Evans,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
July 5. Thank you
for Carol Daniel's talk "I knew you were black". Very apropos for the
times.
-- David Werrett,
E-Club of Canada One.
Ubuntu - it’s
going to be my new favourite word!!
-- Vicki Horsfield,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
July 6. I really enjoyed the Hot Scots drumline
video. Sent it to my sons, who are both
drummers and of Scottish descent! Also loved Shola's Ted Talk about Ubuntu and
the power of our shared humanity - such an important theme to remember in this
sometimes divisive, disconnected time.
The talk reminded
me of the importance and value of participating in something bigger than myself
to effect positive change. Being a part of Creating Opportunities for
Guatemalans, and now this Rotary Club, are two ways I'm working to do that and
feel grateful for my colleagues in both organizations. Namaste to all.
-- Andrea Chisholm,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Food for thought
"In her final annual report, where Profit reflects on her time in the role, look for the graphic that illustrates the difference between equality, equity, and fairness. Top marks for a bureaucratic sense of fair play." (Maclean's.ca)

Rotary Jukebox
For a small donation, your favorite musician will be featured on one of our next e-meetings for everyone to enjoy.
Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!
