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?
Grief and Love in
the Animal Kingdom. Cool program! Over the years, I (and my wife) have rehabbed
a number of baby squirrels, baby hares, young Magpies, and a Cedar Wax Wing – most
recently this year saving two abandoned baby squirrels found on Easter Monday! We rehab and release, and this year in
particular, our two new “children” keep coming back to say Hello, and I’m sure
they’re also saying Thank you! Loved the
program, especially how it shows our responsibility to be caring gatekeepers of
our planet.
(Do I need to add
that we had a Cairn Terrier who would greet us with a verbal “Helloo” –
really!!)
-- John Wojcicki,
Rotary Club of Edmonton, District 5370
Charlie Brown put
a smile on my face with the Inspirational Moment. Thanks!
Rotary Moment, Voices for Peace – a nice, reassuring glimpse into a positive future.
-- Andy Adams,
Rotary Club of Campbell River, District 5020
The first few
seconds of the TED talk made a lot of sense:
We are all trapped inside our head.
We tell ourselves stories. We
edit. We delete. Was a truth that I will need to remember when
I assess a situation in my head. This
also applies to the Rotary minute: When
you feel like quitting, remember why you started. Great lessons indeed!

Crepin, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

We had a one-day
orientation for the students. We talked about the rules, culture shock, sexual abuse
and harassment, and what they can expect while they are here. We also played a
game show to help them learn a little bit about Canada. The winning team all
got Tim Hortons’ gift cards.
I have been part
of the District committee for 8 years now. In the good old days, we used to have
30+ inbound students each year. It looks like we currently have 9 students
working on applications for next year.

Latest Foundation Winner, Graham Drake
A Rotary Welcome
message from our Foundation winner – Graham Drake below.
Early on any
Friday morning and long before the park opens to the public, you will find a
procession of cars heading into Heritage Park, home for the last 20 years of
the Rotary Club of Calgary, Heritage Park.
While the
official meeting starts at 7:00 a.m., most members and guests show up as
early as 6:30 for coffee and fellowship. Like most clubs, we focus on the 5
avenues of service, but a real driver for many of the 60 members is the
fellowship and friendship that comes with serving together.
To that end,
there is a focus on “sweat equity” projects that get Rotarians involved:
* regular monthly
shifts at the food bank
* serving supper
at Ronald Macdonald House, or
* work projects
at homes for disadvantaged men and women
There is never a
shortage of club members volunteering.
So, if you are an
early riser and want to share in the fellowship of RCCHP, make sure you come
before the bell rings at 7:00 a.m. on any Friday. If you are not a morning
person, you can follow us on Instagram or Facebook.
We send thanks
and Rotary cheers from our E-Club to yours, Rotarian Graham!

Rotary Minute
ISLAMABAD: With
poliovirus viciously proliferating across various parts of Pakistan -- the
world’s poorest performing country with 53 polio cases so far in 2019 -- Prime
Minister Imran Khan Wednesday called for an “unprecedented public awareness and
immunisation campaign” as the government decided to take help from the Pakistan
Army for achieving targets of the immunisation campaign.
Speaking as chair
of a high-level meeting convened at the PM Office to review Pakistan’s polio
emergency, the prime minister expressed serious reservations over the recent
spike in cases, and terming polio eradication as a priority intervention area,
urged the programme’s leadership at the federal and provincial levels to embark
on unprecedented awareness and immunisation campaigns to save children from the
crippling disease. With rising number of cases, Pakistan is now being
perceived, not only as a threat to its own children, but also as a country that
stands to imperil global efforts for polio eradication.
