October 22. Young people are our future!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

October 31. Watching the TED talk and seeing a young girl like Xiye Bastida talk so eloquently about climate change makes me optimistic that future generations can effect change though it is going to be a long uphill road for them.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Oliver, the 7-year-old police officer – too cute! Brigitta Nagi was fantastic!
--Andy Adams, Rotary Club of Campbell River, District 5020

Humour 

When I was a kid my parents would always say “excuse my French” just after a swear word. I’ll never forget that first day at school when the teacher asked if anyone knew any French.

What’s the difference between a literalist and a kleptomaniac? One takes things literally, the other takes things literally.

New members' corner

The Rotary District Governor performs a very significant function in the world of Rotary. He is the single officer of Rotary International in his geographic area, called a Rotary District which usually includes about 45 Rotary clubs. 

The 529 District Governors who have been extensively trained at the worldwide International Assembly provide the quality control for the 31,500 Rotary clubs of the world. They are responsible for maintaining high-performance within the clubs of their district.

The District Governor who must make an official visit to each club in his district is never regarded as an “inspector general.” Rather he visits as a helpful and friendly adviser to the club officers as a useful counsellor to further the “Object of Rotary” among the clubs of his district and as a catalyst to help strengthen the programs of Rotary.

The District Governor is a very experienced Rotarian who generously devotes a year of his life to the volunteer task of leadership. The Governor has a wealth of knowledge about current Rotary programs, purposes, policies and goals. He is a person of recognized high standing in his profession, community, and Rotary club. He must supervise the organization of new clubs and strengthen existing ones. 

He performs a host of specific duties to assure that the quality of Rotary does not falter in his district. He is responsible to promote and implement all programs and activities of the Rotary International President, and the R.I. Board of Directors. The Governor plans and directs a district conference and other special events.

Each district Governor performs a very important role in the worldwide operations of Rotary. The District Governor is truly a prime example of Service above Self, performing a labour of love.
