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?
Suki Kim spent 6 months teaching while
undercover writing a book. She was a
South Korean who was never allowed to speak in Korean to the country’s 270
elite male students who would be future leaders one day. She would refer to them as gentlemen. One felt that by doing so, she wanted for
them each to become a gentle person.
Suki was tempted constantly to share the
outside world with them; however, doing so would only put them at risk. She was
not going to risk that for them.
The bond became strong and she developed compassion for these students as she witnessed the repressive regime they were in. The students’ only wish was that she would speak to them in Korean, but it was forbidden.
-- Michael Thomas, RC of Stony Plain, District
5370
A Refugee Rescue Mission Story. I would first like to offer a comment on the
Syrup Heritage Minute – really cool to see how our First Nations peoples helped
us acclimatize to our new country, their home.
It so happens that this year, 2019, is the 200thy Anniversary of the Tête
Jaune Pass being shown to the Hudson Bay Trading Company by Iroquois Métis
Pierre Bostonais – who the French Voyageurs nicknamed Tête Jaune, or Yellowhead
because of his blond locks – who opened up trade through the Rocky Mountains
and eventually became the route for the Trans-Canada Yellowhead Highway #16.
This week’s program definitely underlines
the moral challenges of providing care and offering a helping hand. It’s hard to put into words to describe what
I might have done in that circumstance, but I truly believe that following our
Four-Way test would have helped.
-- John Wojcicki, RC of Edmonton, District 5370
I cannot imagine the situation Sasha Chanoff
experienced and neither can I think of what my decision would be in a similar
circumstance.
-- Jean Michel Crepin, E-Club of Canada One,
D5370
The TED Talk presented a very interesting
insight into what the people involved in rescue missions have to be prepared
for.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, D5370
Attended RECCO regular weekly meeting
featuring Latif Nasser’s presentation on the origin of camels. “I knew there had to be a reason I liked
camels: they are from Canada. I must keep my eye out for an Inuit carving
of one!”
-- Keith Evans, E-Club of Canada One, D5370
May 20.
This week’s meeting was so much fun to watch, from the shake/fold paper
towel presentation to the Boogie Woogie and then the speaker presentation on
camels. Enjoying all the Rotary
information also.
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, D5370

RYLE – Rotary Youth Leadership
Experience
-- Contributed by Rotarian Jeff MacFarlane/Tamara Larson
RYLE is a youth leadership event unique to our District.
This 4-day leadership camp is packed with workshops, speakers, and experiences that build
confidence, communities, and empowerment.
The programming of the camp has three main focuses:
interpersonal growth, communication, and community building and global
citizenship with emphasis on Rotary’s 6 areas of focus.
With over 60 young leaders in attendance, life-long
friendships were made!
Special thanks to Rotarian Advisor Darren Chin, Rotary Mama
Lesa Michelle Mueller, RYLE Chair Adam Akbar, the RYLE Committee and the camp
leaders for making RYLE 2019 a huge success.
Without the generous support of Rotarians and Rotary clubs,
our youth programs would not be possible. Many thanks to the support of these
young leaders!
-- Tamara Lawson, B.A., M.A.
District 5370 Youth Services Chair

The Calgary Pod
Our E-Club Calgary Pod gathering this week - Tuesday, June 18 - started t 3:00 p.m. with Bill Skinner from the Calgary Heritage Rotary Club joining us to discuss the Lake Atitlan project in Guatemala.
After some Rotary business and a few drinks, we all went with our spouses, except Ileana, to a local Italian restaurant. It was very nice to have Peter visit us, and we hope that next time, he will bring Ileana along.
Ethan would have joined us, but he was working in Yellowknife during the week.

Announcements
Changeover
In a week's time, there will be a new Rotary International President (2019-20).
Mark Daniel Maloney, a member of
the Rotary Club of Decatur, Alabama, USA, unveiled the 2019-20 presidential
theme, Rotary Connects the World, to incoming district governors at
Rotary’s annual training event, the International Assembly, in San Diego,
California, USA, in January.
“The first emphasis is
to grow Rotary — to grow our service, to grow the impact of our
projects, but most importantly, to grow our membership so that we can
achieve more,” Maloney said.
Maloney believes that
connection is at the heart of the Rotary experience.
“Through Rotary, we connect to the incredible
diversity of humanity on a truly unique footing, forging deep and lasting ties
in pursuit of a common goal,” he added. “In this ever more divided world,
Rotary connects us all.”

Humour
A few interesting definitions and thoughts:
- A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
- A day without sunshine is like, well, night.
- Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
- Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
- The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
- It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end-to-end, someone from California would be stupid enough to try to pass them.
- Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.

Rotary's Relationship with the United Nations
During 2019-20, Rotary
will host a series of presidential conferences around the world, focusing onfont-size: mediumotary’s relationship with the United Nations and
the UN’s sustainable development goals that many Rotary service projects
support. More information will be available in July.
In 2020, the United
Nations will celebrate the 75th anniversary of its charter and its mission of
promoting peace. Rotary was one of 42 organizations the United States invited
to serve as consultants to its delegation at the 1945 San Francisco conference,
which led to the UN’s charter. For decades, Rotary has worked alongside the
United Nations to address humanitarian issues around the world. Today, Rotary
holds the highest consultative status that the UN offers to nongovernmental
organizations.
“Rotary shares the
United Nations’ enduring commitment to a healthier, more peaceful, and more
sustainable world,” RI President-elect Maloney said. “And Rotary offers something no other
organization can match: an existing infrastructure that allows people from all
over the world to connect in a spirit of service and peace and take meaningful
action toward that goal.”
