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?
December 7. Alma Deutscher's talents are amazing. She had the ability to play the violin and piano so competently at such a young age but then to start composing operas as well is almost beyond comprehension.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
I saw the presentation by Fredros Okuna on Mosquitos, Nina on Genetics, and Ellen Jorgensen in Crisp Technology. Eye opener. Thanks for sharing this technology.
-- Salvador Gonzalez, Rotary Club of West El Paso, District 5520
I enjoyed the tracking and forecast presented by Bill gates in his presentation about successes in reduction of extreme poverty and the focuses on where to go next and why this exists and what could be done. This coupled, with Bill Gates’ presentation on Toilets and what is being developed and tested in Durban and the health improvement from good sanitation, created in me renewed optimism for positive world changes.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of District 6330 Passport
It was interesting to learn of the tremendous strides that have been made to eradicate poverty in Asia and the potential to improve lives where the need is currently the greatest in Sub-Saharan Africa. The program provided demonstrable ways the course of history can be changed by investing in the innovations that will improve people's lives.
-- Don Smith, Rotary Club of Bracebridge, District 7010
The dog jumping into the piles of leaves – too funny! Increase in polio outbreaks is disheartening.
-- Andy Adams, Rotary Club of Campbell River, District 5020
Very interesting talks from Bill Gates and really, really enjoyed the collage of greeters!

A review of Council on Legislation Updates
Welcome to 2020!
The 2019 Council
on Legislation may not have made as many dramatic changes as the
Council three years ago did, but it made several decisions that will
shape the future of Rotary.
Status of
Rotaract
Among the most
important, the Council elevated the status of Rotaract clubs. The change
broadens the definition of membership in Rotary International to include
Rotaract clubs. The change is intended to increase the support that Rotaract
clubs receive from RI and to enhance their ability to serve.
Dues increase
As for dues, the
Council approved a modest increase of $1 a year for each of three years,
beginning in 2020-21. The previous Council set dues for 2019-20 at $34 per half
year.
With the
increase, the dues that clubs pay to RI per member will increase to $34.50 per
half year in 2020-21, $35 per half year in 2021-22, and $35.50 per half year in
2022-23. The dues will not be raised again until a future Council votes to
change it.
Flexibility
This year’s
representatives resisted pressure to limit some of the flexibility that the
2016 Council granted clubs, rejecting several measures that would have placed
restrictions on clubs. One unsuccessful measure would have required clubs to
meet at least 40 times each year.
Many clubs have
been using the innovative and flexible club formats to attract new members and
meet their current members’ needs.

Rotary minute
Today, the three countries of focus are Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan as they have never stopped transmission of endemic wild poliovirus. The countries are working to deliver vaccination services to their people, to carry out sensitive disease surveillance, and to cooperate to immunize migrating populations across their common border. GPEI also supports countries that experience or are vulnerable to the rise of vaccine-derived polio viruses (VDPVs), which are rare and only occur when polio vaccination rates are low. When VDPV cases occur, high levels of vaccination, robust surveillance, and rapid outbreak response are critical.
Food for thought
