June focus - Rotary Fellowships
Inspirational moment
Friendship is one of the strongest bonds we develop in life. True friendship is based on love, respect, and care, and it helps us grow, and makes us stronger.
Our friends are the family we get to choose. We meet many people in our life, but the best ones remain by our side forever.
This was the case with Baloo the bear, Leo the lion and Shere Khan the tiger, who have been inseparable for almost two decades, living together at Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter in Georgia.

Martha
Manning. Love the news about Bill Gates
paying off Nigeria's loan to Japan! John Prine. By the time I watched this he was a victim of
COVID19. LOVE The Moth piece by Martha
Manning!
-- Elizabeth
Gaffney, Rotary Club of Stratford, District 6330
It just took me
two weeks to get the strength to watch this video on combating sexual
violence. Too many “Whys.” And just in quarantine getting inspiration
from the E-club meetings.
-- Jean Michel
Crepin, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Nice to have a
review of the history of polio.
-- David Werrett,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Brave, not
perfect. I will definitely show this
video to our girls at Creating Opportunities for Guatemalans! Micro museums - I loved this TED Talk! I am going to contact the speaker to see how
we can collaborate to get micro museums developed for in-house at Creating
Opportunities for Guatemalans and in locations in our village of San Antonio Aguas
Calientes!
-- Vicki Horsfield,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Amanda’s TED
Talk. Great diversity of material
presented. Loved being able to read,
see, and hear items such as the Canadiana video (I’m a Canada-addict), the
amazing bells from Banff, the greeting from Doug Dyer in Costa Rica, Amanda's
TED Talk - which inspired me to become a habitat fragment gardener – the
hamster humour, the food for thought info re the polio epidemic, the chance to
donate, and the explanation of the Rotary four-way test by Jim Ferguson.
-- Andrea Chisholm,
I am not a Rotarian

Rotary minute
Rotary Peace Fellowships are provided by The Rotary Foundation to fund either master’s degree or professional development certificate study at one of the six Rotary Peace Centers. Rotarians, Clubs and Districts support the Rotary Peace Centers through their gifts to The Rotary Foundation.
Rotary Districts can now nominate more than one Rotary Peace Fellow per year.
Rotary Peace Fellow applicants are not required to reside in your district.
- They can be from your district and living locally or away.
- They can be from other parts of the world. Rotarians are connected with people from other parts of the world through service, professional and education networks, and this can expand our recruitment ability greatly!
- Candidates who have experienced living in a conflict zone are especially encouraged apply.
Food for thought
In the late
1970s, when Judie and Michael Bopp were a young married couple doing volunteer
work in Rwanda, they were baffled by what Judie calls the “crazy things” they
saw in development projects that were underway. “Bricks were being shipped all
the way from Quebec by boat for one project when there was a brick factory
right next door,” Judie recalls. “We really started thinking about community
development and what that meant.”
What that meant
for the Bopps was returning to Canada, earning advanced degrees in education
and community development, and teaching and working with indigenous people in
the Northwest Territories. Since that time, the couple have advised and trained
people in impoverished regions in more than 20 countries, helping to establish
stable, self-reliant communities.
Together they
wrote Recreating the World: A Practical Guide to Building Sustainable
Communities, and they co-wrote (with Lee Brown and Phil Lane Jr.) The Sacred
Tree: Reflections on Native American Spirituality.
Three years ago,
the Bopps joined the Rotary Club of Cochrane, Alberta, their hometown. “Joining
Rotary was a way to be involved in our local community with 40 people we hadn’t
known before who are trying to do good in the world,” says Judie.

Rotary Jukebox
For a small donation, your favorite musician will be featured on one of our next e-meetings for everyone to enjoy.
Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!
The limits of a man's physical vision turn into the view
from space. Richard Garriott made history in October 2008 by becoming the first
second-generation astronaut to fly to space.
Today he's one of the world's leading experts on private/commercial space travel. Richard earned legendary status in the video game industry early in his career with his design of the Ultima role-playing games, one of the most successful computer game series ever.
