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?
Monthly
Fellowship Assembly. Interesting
program, nice to see Rotarians from all over and to make-up at this time of
Covid-19. A wonderful coincidence to be present for Janet Stead's Major Donor
presentation.
-- Michel Gravel,
Rotary Club of Kapuskasing, District 7010
I liked Amanda
Schochet's TED talk with the encouragement to do something about the planet no
matter how small you can make a difference.
-- David Werrett,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Benjamin Zander
has two infectious passions: classical music, and helping us all realize our
untapped love for it – one of the most powerful presentations I have ever heard
- using humour to capture his audience along with music - a universal language.
-- Sharon Blaker,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
“I will never say
anything that could not stand as the last thing I ever said." What an
impossible goal! Could I challenge myself to do that for one day? Thank you Benjamin Zander for sharing that
thought from an Auschwitz survivor.
-- Jean Michel
Crepin, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Karla’s piece on
Rotaract. Really enjoyed learning about
Rotaract in Karla's piece on her experiences in Manila. I also loved the Toronto
women doctors singing Rise, and the acrobat performance. Thank you for
providing such a diversity of offerings in the meeting!
-- Andrea Chisholm –
I am not yet a Rotarian

Rotary minute
Héctor Herrera
was driving his father to José Tadeo Monagas International Airport in
northeastern Venezuela when they approached a government food stand. Even at 5
a.m., the line was long. “I never thought I’d live in this misery,” Herrera’s
father said. Suddenly a fight spilled out into the street in front of them as
two men wrestled over a frozen chicken.
“At that moment,
my father said to me: ‘Son, if you have the opportunity to leave, go,’” recalls
Herrera. “‘I will miss you, and it will be difficult, but this is already as
low as a person can live.’”
That was in the
summer of 2015. A teacher, Herrera was 28 years old and a member of the
Rotaract Club of Maturín Juanico. A city that boomed in the 1980s as the oil
capital of eastern Venezuela, Maturín is now crippled by the country’s collapse
— an economic meltdown that, for the people living there, is worse than the
Great Depression.
According to a survey released in 2018, 9 out of 10 Venezuelans did not earn enough to buy food, and more than 17 million had fallen into extreme poverty. The BBC reported that desperate parents have been giving away their children rather than watch them starve.

This week - A virtual choir
“I left New York City on March 14, anticipating a short absence. The Brooklyn College Choir had been preparing for performances with the New York Philharmonic, and then that was gone. Arriving home in Iowa, I found comfort in playing the beautiful song from the musical Carousel, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’ "
"I embarked on collaborating online like so many others are doing. What started to fill the void of music collaboration has evolved to new meaning for me with the lengthened quarantine. Hopefully, the words, ‘you'll never walk alone,’ along with the visual of 300 people joining together offers the audience some comfort and peace during this time. Stay safe and healthy my friends!"
