Submission from our E-Club Member

Sharon Blaker

Dear fellow Rotarians

I have attached a couple of photos of my crocheting – one of a granny square blanket and another showing my cotton dishcloths and scarves.

I have $340 which I will be donating to Project Amigo from sales of

the dishcloths, scarves and the custom order blanket.  I do not keep any money that I receive – 100% goes to non-profit organizations and international projects, usually with a literacy component.

I am also taking over 35 scarves (and some baby hats) to Nepal at the end of October.  I am joining other Rotarians fro the Rotary Club of Chilliwack-Mt. Cheam.  They are visiting a school that they helped fund working with an organization called Himalayan Life.  I will not be travelling up to the school.  It is a strenuous 7 hour 4x4 trip on a very rough road and my back won’t take the trip.  However, my scarves will!  

Also, we are going to check out other possible projects and partnerships with the organization and local Rotary clubs.  I may bring some ideas back to our International Service Committee for consideration.

Food for Thought

*** Speaker Program - Dare to Dream
This week, a special presentation to recognize the upcoming World Polio Day, October 24.  The video runs about 30 minutes, and is a most rewarding insight into how Rotary International got involved with the task of eradicating polio.
Well worth your time!
