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?
April 30.
Having spent two Christmas vacations with an autistic teenager, I
learned that he was often happy when his behaviour was not socially acceptable,
and at the same time, his happiness was contagious.
-- Jean Michel Crepin, E-Club of Canada One,
D5370
I was taught not to play with my
vegetables, but eat them; a very creative idea, however.
-- Elly Conteras, E-Club of Canada One, D5370
The talk on Autism was very enlightening!
-- David Werrett, E-Cub of Canada One, D5370
Undercover in North Korea. This presentation sets out very clearly the leadership
training limits in North Korea.
The value we as Rotarians hold highly of truth it seems, according to this presentation, cannot be counted on under this education system in general. It is so very challenging to anyone counting on "Truth" in communication or agreement making. Understanding where a person comes from and this environment makes a difference, but does not change our difference in values. I really enjoyed this teacher's use of the word "gentleman." Thinking the best of each other often draws out the best in the other and we can show respect to each other in communications.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Passport Club District 6330
May 11.
It is the first time I hear about resilience enhancers and I wish to
know more. Many people with some kind of
mental illness are suffering from stress-related events. If true, this new type of drug might change
the life of many.
-- Jean-Michel Crepin, E-Club of Canada One,
D5370
Suki Kim.
Suki, an endearing young professor, gives us insight to the world of
North Korea. Hard to believe that this world still exists. One wonders what
will happen when the internet ever reaches there.
-- Larry Reynolds, RC of Campbell River Lunch,
D5020
May 12.
So many interesting items in the
program this week – the story of Sir Nicholas Winton saving the Jewish
children, the TED talk by Suki Kim about teaching in North Korea, and the
reference to Edward Jenner who pioneers the discovery of smallpox
vaccinations.
Edward Jenner was born and
lived in the town of Berkley, Gloucestershire, England. My mother was also born there; and though he
died about 80 years before my mother was born, he must have been highly
regarded as I remember her speaking of the accomplishments of Edward
Jenner.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, D5370
May 13.
The presentation by Sasha Chanoff was very powerful. You should know that I take many of the
E-club presentations and post on my own social media sites to spread the word
about the topic/speaker, etc. Thanks for
your dedication!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, D5370
Refugee rescue mission. Very moving account of the worker facing his
first rescue mission and deciding who could come and who would be left
behind. One must keep in mind this is
only Step One as they moved to a refugee camp.
It is from here we can take action to help in those camps or bring people
to Canada. It is a very long process,
followed by resettlement and adaptation, language study and job search, but it
is possible to get involved.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary District 6330

News from our Rotary family
Have you ever thought about joining a Rotary Fellowship?
...contributed by David Werrett
Have you ever thought about joining a Rotary Fellowship?
Recently one of our newest members, Judy Brown, gave her Classification Talk during which she mentioned she and her husband Ron belong to the International Fellowship of Motorcycling Rotarians and the Fellowship of Flying Rotarians.
It reminded me of our own Fellowship experience. My wife and I joined the International Caravanning Fellowship of Rotarians in 2002 and travelled to the Rotary Convention in Barcelona and had a great time with about 30 other couples. We took part with the members of the Fellowship on other rallies in the United Kingdom and South Africa and we organised a 5-week tour for 21 Rotarians and spouses in Western Canada in 2006.
We made lasting friendships with the Rotarians and spouses that we met on the rallies.
The nearly 80 Rotary Fellowships encompass a variety of vocations and avocations, ranging from sports and hobbies to professional interest, all of which serve as a way to extend international fellowship, friendship, and service. In addition to offering members an opportunity to share their passion for a particular interest with like-minded Rotarians, many individual fellowship groups enable members to use their hobbies or skills to serve others.
There are several ways to find out more and join a fellowship:
1. Contact the Fellowship directly. Check the RI website https://www.rotary.org/en/our-programs/more-fellowships to see the group directory for contact information for the chair or membership officer.
2. Join online. Many fellowships operate web sites that include interactive or downloadable applications forms
You can read more about the Rotary Fellowships in the https://my.rotary.org/en/document/rotary-fellowships-flier (in PDF format).

A little humour

New members' corner
What does it mean to be a Rotarian?
Chances are this question,
in one form or another, will pop up in discussions between a Rotarian and
someone who is thinking about becoming one. It is the sort of question a
Rotarian should like to have asked.
Whatever is said in reply almost certainly
will be drawn from the Rotarian’s own personal experiences as a member of a
Rotary Club. A Rotarian believes in Rotary and in what Rotary stands for.
What
Rotary stands for is stated in the Object of Rotary.
Above all, Rotarians
believe in “Service Above Self,” Rotary’s international motto. Rotarians
believe in sharing Rotary with others.
Being a Rotarian means more than the sum
of what a Rotarian believes about Rotary; it means maintaining high ethical
standards in one’s business, one’s profession, and in one’s personal life.
Being
a Rotarian means having the opportunity to experience the warm fellowship of a
Rotary Club which can greatly expand one’s circle of acquaintance, foster
lifelong friendships, and help one do for his or her community what he or she
might never accomplish alone.
Being a Rotarian means to be actively involved in
the affairs and service projects of one’s club. Rotarians look for ways to get
involved. Rotarians demonstrate the strength of their commitment to Rotary in
the service they render to their club, through their club to the community, and
through the Rotary Foundation to people throughout the world.
Being a Rotarian
is a way of life and can be a satisfying lifelong adventure for those who are
willing to give of themselves to enjoy and benefit from all that Rotary has to
offer.

Food for thought
Story from the Boston Globe earlier in May
Earlier this month, we recorded the Handel and Haydn Society's season finale for WCRB In Concert, where it will air in the fall - and we caught this unforgettable moment on tape.
A nine-year-old child gave voice to a reaction virtually all of the 2,500 people in Symphony Hall felt at the end of Mozart's Masonic Funeral Music, during a performance by the Hndel and Haydn Society and conductor Harry Christophers.
David Snead, Executive Director of H+H was so moved by the moment that he sent an email to subscribers to find the child and offer him and his family the chance to meet Christophers.
The email read as follows:
Dear Friends of H+H
At the end of Sunday's performance of Mozart's Masonic Funeral Music, something happened that I had never before experienced in my 40+ years of concert-going.
While Harry Christophers was holding the audience rapt in pin-drop silence following the music's end, what sounded like a child of about six years of age couldn't hold back and gave out a "Wow!" heard round the hall. The audience cheered in enthusiastic agreement.
Fortunately, WCRB was recording the concert, so we have the "Wow!" moment on tape. We would like to five our newest H+H fan and his family a copy of the recording and invite them to meet Harry Christophers when he returns to Boston this fall.
But we don't know who the "wow" child is.
If you happen to be the parent of this child and are willing to let me know, please email me at presidentceo@handelandhaydn.org. H+H has great respect for our audience's privacy and all information will be kept confidential in accordance with the family's wishes.
Regardless, it was one of the most wonderful moments I've experienced in the concert hall, and I'm glad you were all there to experience it as well.
Sincerely,
David Snead
President and CEO
Handel and Haydn Society
