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?
Leukemia patient. Quite an eye opener. Missed
my regular meeting today because I was building a fence. Watched this meeting
with Elly.
-- Ramiro
Contreras, RC of Osoyoos, District 5060
I found the Trash Video amazing. Why can't more countries
use this technology? Immunization (not counting polio) remains to be a touchy
(possibly controversial) subject for me, having a friend's child die as a
result of it. Immunization remains to be a benefit of healthier or risk of sick
children.
-- Elly Contreras, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Founder
of the Khan Academy talks about how structured video that students can watch at
home to learn about math and other subjects. The students then can come back to
the classroom and have the teachers individually help them with their assignments
instead of using the majority of class time lecturing. This avenue can also be
used as a global classroom and student piers can interact and assist in the
learning and helping other students.
-- Michael
Thomas, Rotary Club of Stony Plain, District 5370
Montana garden project.
The Rotary Moments are always inspirational. Regrets that I am in a very remote location
and unable to participate fully in your weekly meetings, but salute you for the
content and organization of the site! Congrats!
-- John Eberhard, Rotary Club of London, District 6330
Sal Kahn. Sal’s
program provided interesting insights on the potential for using technology to
improve the educational experience.
-- Don Smith, Rotary Club of Bracebridge, District 7010
August
7. What a great meeting! They all are!
Thank you!
-- Janet
Stead, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Inspirational
Moment of the Lions Club Garden evolving into a Centre of Sustainability is
very cool. The Canadiana – First Nations
Canada Flag was designed by artist Curtis Wilson of the Wei Wai Kum First
Nations in Campbell River, BC, several years ago. Jukebox of the Classic Beatles was awesome!
--Andy
Adams, Rotary Club of Campbell River, District 5020
Sal
Kahn. Future of education indeed!
--Peter
Denooy, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Contribution from Club President Peter Denooy
who visited a local terra club in
San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic
President Yanira of the local Rotary Club had been to Texas with GSE and was very active for many years in the local
Rotaract Club of San Juan de la Maguana. She recently organized a special meeting
celebrating Father's day in the Dominican Republic.
I had the privilege, as
visiting President of the Rotary E-Club of Canada One, to be invited to sit at
the head table and to assist in handing out prizes to the dads who won several
games.
A really fun night with a club that is trying to attract new members, as
we all do.
Pictures follow - with Ileana and President Yanira.

Humour
Another outburst and she hears the grandad calmly say : "It's okay William. Just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of here. Hang in there, boy."
At the checkout, the little horror is throwing items out of the shopping cart. Grandad says again in a controlled voice: "William, William, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes, stay cool William."
Very impressed, she goes outside to where the grandfather is loading his groceries and the boy into the car. She says : "It's none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it. That whole time you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying things would be okay. William is very lucky to have you as his grandad."
"Thanks," says the grandpa. "But I am William. The little imp's name is Kevin."

The old woman and the dog
An elderly woman was walking her dog one evening when a young man ran by her and grabbed her purse and took off. A couple across the street ran over to check on her saying the police were called and would be here in a few minutes.
The woman smiles and tells the couple that it's really no big deal: she carries her old purse to put her dog's poop in it until she gets home to dispose of it.
Imagine the surprise when the thief opens the purse.

Photos and Rotary News – contributed
by Angel Blanco
(Angel has been a frequent attendee at our Thursday morning FellowSips.)
(Angel has been a frequent attendee at our Thursday morning FellowSips.)
Here are some photographs of my Rotarian life here in Majadahonda for your interest.
Two of them correspond to the
ceremony where I was "pinned" (the swearing-in and the initiation
fellowship dinner).
I have also been involved with the
youth interchanges, both short and long.
The picture corresponds to my last two tutored interchanges, and the
other picture is from all the interchanges we had that year.
There is one Canadian (actually two,
if you count my daughter) in the group, anyone cares to guess who she is.
It was funny when everyone in the
club said, “You are from WHEEEERE?" “Yes, Saskatchewan!”
“Sask...what?”
Both Grace and I had a lot of fun
with that.
The last photo corresponds to the last
camp the Majadahonda Club hosted - a project whose 10th event we are kicking
off this August 30, and my excuse for the induction meeting on Aug 10.
I will keep you updated on how it develops.
Best Rotary regards,
Angel Blanco
