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?
Matt Tenney's
Food for Thought was quite engaging. I was intrigued by the fact the
speaker had been in prison, became a monk and now is a TED speaker. But his
message of looking after your employees which in turn has employees looking
after the customers makes for a successful company.
-- David Werrett,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Fundraising, Week
of February 3 to 9. I honestly enjoyed
it from beginning to end.
That
"fundraiser" Ted Talk was educational. What stuck in my mind was her
statements that an effective fundraiser must have supports and resources in
order to make it a success. This is so very true. Some of her listed
techniques were inspirational and I found the session to be educational.
I had no idea
that "The Moth" existed. I enjoy writing and reading so this
was a huge bonus/discovery for me. I found journalist, Sebastian Junger's,
storytelling on "War" to be an eye-opener, a visual and mental
journey introducing the listener to the realities of war and their ongoing
consequences.
I liked the
Inspiration Moment: Nights of the Northern Lights. Visually stunning, truly inspirational, illustrates the natural
beauty and wonder that makes our world a poetic place.
I really enjoyed
this session. It had a little bit of
everything to keep me interested. Thank you kindly for all your work in
putting these sessions together.
-- Mary-Lisa Russo,
Hamilton Tonic Rotary After 5, District 7090
Loved the
inspirational video on the Aurora
Borealis – spectacular!
-- Sue Croft, Rotary
Club of Barrie, District 7010

From Rotarian Sharon
Our quarterly Foundation winner!
Spring flowers
are blooming in my part of the world.
Our members are located everywhere, but we
can make a difference locally.
We are launching our second "Little Bit of
Service" community project - for Spring.
Who do you know that could use
some help with yard cleanup?
Or perhaps you could join in a community-wide
cleanup effort?
Our focus with this project is engaging youth. Invite a child
or youth to help out and they can enjoy the benefits of Spring, the great
outdoors and volunteering!
Send your project description and any before- and after-photos to sblaker@shaw.ca.
Let's make this as successful as
our Holiday Little Bit of Service!
In Rotary,
Sharon
Greetings from
Hamilton, Ontario!
********
Our quarterly Foundation winner!
My name is
Mary-Lisa Russo and my Rotary base is Tonic Hamilton Rotary After Five. I’ve
been a Rotarian since April 2018, a baby duckling of our group, forever
exploring Rotary and its meaning within our club and other clubs around the
world.
I am quite
fascinated with the dynamics of Rotary, its global outreach, its faithfulness
in executing “service above self.” I am
involved on other boards outside of Rotary which makes my attraction to being a
Rotarian very natural.
One of the main
Rotary projects I am happy to be an Event Ambassador and volunteer at is the
“Telling Tales” Children’s Literacy Festival wherein Rotarians and
community-minded folks work together to promote reading, education, peace, and
community. It is the brainchild of respected Rotarian, Susan Jaspar, the
festival’s Founder and Executive Director, a Rotarian I look up to and hold in
high regard.
Rotary has so
much to offer its members within an international scale. What Rotary offers does not stop at the door
of your club. It is crucial to think outside the box, outside of your own club,
to shape, to create, to grow…it’s a bright world out there and I am happy to
say I am still evolving, still learning, still exploring…

Rotary minute
To celebrate its
100th year, The Rotary Foundation recognized a number of global grants that
exemplify what a project should be: a sustainable endeavor that aligns
with one of Rotary’s areas of focus and that is designed in cooperation with
the community to address a real need.
Here is one such
noteworthy project. It demonstrates how
your club can leverage the resources of the Foundation to do good in the
world.
Host sponsor: Rotary Club of Valle de Guatemala, Guatemala
International sponsor: Rotary Club of Manhattan Beach, California, USA
Total budget: $39,873
Background: Students attending overcrowded schools in poverty-stricken areas of Guatemala face bullying and street violence. Crimes stemming from gang and drug activity are common.
Scope: Project sponsors worked with Alianza Joven, a Guatemalan organization focused on preventing crime and violence, to train students in four municipalities around Guatemala City on techniques for deflecting aggressiveness, strengthening leadership, making decisions, and serving their communities. Teachers, principals, and parents were involved.
Impact: More than 6,500 teachers and students received training.
Fun fact: The project sponsors connected at a project fair in Antigua, Guatemala.

Abeny Mathayo
Kucha is a single mother who survived the civil war and genocide in her
homeland of South Sudan and immigrated to the U.S. Here she became a certified nursing assistant
and worked at the Mayo Clinic for almost ten years as a surgical processing
tech.
She is the mother
of two daughters. Atong, her oldest,
recently graduated from law school in May 2012.
Abeny is proud to say what a joy it was to see her accomplish her dream
of becoming a lawyer, because few refugees’ children graduate high school, let
alone attend college.
Abeny also has
three sons and one grandson. She lives
in Lincoln, Nebraska, and is the author
of “Tears of a Mother: A Sudanese Survivor’s Story,” her first book about her life while living in Sudan. For more information on Abeny’s book and
other projects, visit her website at
