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?
September 27. The story of the Jaipur foot is an amazing success story being designed in Jaipur in 1968 and being made there for about $45. As it is inexpensive and widely acceptable as a prosthesis, it has resulted in it being widely used in India.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Saki Mafundikwa. I had no idea that such an in-depth education existed in symbol writing and graphic design in Africa. What a true educator Saki has become by creating a college for these studies!
-- Larry Reynolds, Rotary Club of Campbell River Luncheon, District 5020
African Alphabets symbols and design. Excellent summary of history of African art design.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of District 6330 Passport
Saki Mafundikwa. Saki discussed and highlighted many forms of man’s earliest alphabets dating back to 1900 BC. He encourages Africans to continue to use these ancient secret symbolic forms today and to try and incorporate them into graphic designs.

Announcements
A message from our recent visitor
and winner of Cdn$100.00 to the Foundation Polio Plus fund in his name, Keith Montgomery.
It's been a long time since I've written anything about myself, being retired and trying to stay that way but here goes:
My name is Keith Montgomery and I have been a Bracebridge Rotarian for over 35 years - 31 with perfect attendance. My club has 70 members. I am a Past President and a Paul Harris Fellow +4 as well as a Foundation Benefactor.
Over the years I have been involved on most committees, but have concentrated on World Community Service and Youth Exchange. My Australian wife, whom I met and married on a trip around the world, is also now a member and currently Youth Exchange Chair. Our family of 6 has hosted over 15 students from around the globe.
My wife and I went on a mission trip to Cambodia to distribute over 1000 bicycles to school age students on the Rotary Wheels For Learning program. Also, I was privileged to lead a group of Interactors on a mission program to an orphanage in Freeport Bahamas where we set up a library and computer training facility. I am very proud that my Club sponsored 2 Syrian refugee families and helped 11 people establish new lives in Canada.
I love being a Rotarian and the many avenues of service it provides to help others, not only in my community, but around the world! One of my favourite activities is to visit other Rotary Clubs, no matter where I am on the planet.
(Thanks again, Keith, for attending our online meeting and supporting our club projects.)

Program Donations
Our E-Club is a dynamic club comprised of ordinary working and retired people who acknowledge that Rotarians are people who are generous with their time and their resources.
Our club and the program you have just enjoyed, either as a member or a visitor, is funded only by donations.
We are developing ideas for fundraising with our members who are scattered across Canada, USA, Central America, and Europe, but we do need your help.
As you have not had to buy lunch or travel to attend this program, please make a donation of a minimum of $10.00, considering you're saving in time and cost in appreciation for the experience you have enjoyed.
