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?   

Greta Thunberg is an amazing young lady.  She speaks so confidently and authoritatively about climate change and does this so proficiently in English – and better than many who speak English as their first language.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, D5370

Act Now for Climate Change.  Wonderful case for acting now and the impact now on our children.
-- Lynne Ternosky, District 6330 Passport Club

The entire meeting was awesome – from the inspirational moment to the song to the presentations by Greta.  Amazing young woman who is fighting for her future.
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One

Greta’s meeting.  Wishing Greta much success with her strike for the climate.
-- Elly Contreras, E-Club of Canada One

It was interesting to hear and see an individual experiencing the effects of polio and realizing the need to continue efforts to eradicate.
-- Wayne Lannon, RC of Westlock, District 5370

Patrick Hughes. The spirit of human beings is amazing.  I especially am awed by the father and his commitment to his son.
-- Kelly Best, RC of Barrie, D7010 

Story of Wheel Chair Foundation.  How wheelchairs give people mobility.  People who have only ever seen the ground get elevated up.  The smiles tell it all.
-- Ken O’Shea, Grande Prairie Rotary, Swan City, District 5370

Fellowships

New members' corner

Rotary Fellowships.  The international network of Rotarians in Vocational Fellowships has grown significantly and has generated diverse opportunities for service and friendship.  Members of the Arts and Communication Vocational Fellowship enjoy artistic and cultural performances and support programs like “Adopt an Artist,” which is dedicated to the professional advancement of talented young artists.

The Medicine-Health Vocational Fellowship visits medical facilities, holds professional conferences and seminars, and supports an organ donor program.

Rotarians have always celebrated their common bonds and cultural differences.  Now they can add a new dimension to their Rotary membership. 

Rotary Recreational and Vocational Fellowships are one more meaningful way for active Rotarians to share common interests and friendship across borders.

Each fellowship is independently run and open to all Rotarians.  Many fellowships require minimal dues to defray expenses.  If you are interested in receiving more information about a specific fellowship, you can contact Rotary International.
