A truly remarkable feat for any pilot. Why is Bob Pearson's name not known far and wide in Canada like "Sully" in the U.S.?

Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?   

How memory works. Fascinating presentation about how memory works. Many questions were answered following the presentation that were helpful.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport

May 24. Phew!! What a relief to know all those forgetful moments are no big deal. What a minute - what's my name?
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

May 31. Great speaker, but I don’t remember what it was about!
-- Doug Dyer, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370  

Glad to know that memory is “far from perfect” and it’s okay to forget!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Fellowship event. Great job, Tammy, on the Fellowship Assembly. One new member’s induction! Welcome to Ethan, and lots of discussion about the positives that came out of COVID this past year.
-- Elly Contreras, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

May 29. Thank you very much for the TED talk by Lisa Genova on How your memory works and why forgetting is totally okay. Very reassuring at my age! And congratulations to Doug and Johanne on being among the first to walk across the Arouca Bridge. But at 516 metres long and 175 metres high, I can’t think of anything that would incentivize me to take that walk!
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

New members' corner 


Through the years, Rotary has carried out thousands of projects to protect the environment. In just the last five years, we’ve allocated $18 million to projects that help our planet. Members have even more opportunities to focus on issues that are important to them, now that the environment is one of the causes we focus on.

Here are ways Rotary members are already supporting the environment.

Recycling
Solar lights
Water diversion
Water conservation
Sustainable farming
Eco Stoves
Clean energy

June Focus - Rotary Fellowships

Inspirational moment 


***
Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or day pots or grinding stones.

But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break y our leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beats. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said.

We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.

Canadiana 

All first-year biology students at Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., now learn about Mi'kmaw traditional knowledge thanks to the efforts of one student who was tired of seeing Indigenous perspectives ignored in science.

Leah Creaser, a member of the Acadia First Nation, said she often felt out of place and uncomfortable in her university biology classes.

She remembers taking a first-year lab about plant identification and waiting for her professor to talk about how the Mi'kmaq have been using those same plants for thousands of years. It never happened.

"I don't want to say I got mad, but I was definitely really frustrated to not even see any acknowledgements of any Indigenous peoples at all," said Creaser, 26, who is now in her fourth year and president of the university's Indigenous Students Society.


"The fact that the school flies the flag, puts their acknowledgements 
at the end of their emails, like that's not enough."

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?   

The Secret to Living Longer. Loved the solar refrigeration units given to rural Peru communities. Fascinating and I wonder if these could be useful in Canada remote areas.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport

May 10. The secret to Living Longer. Great talk! Telling us what we really should already know, but have gotten so far away from in our society. All the more reason to be a member of a Rotary Club, especially one as friendly and welcoming as RECCO!!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One (RECCO), District 5370

May 20. Blue Zones are very interesting.
-- Doug Dyer, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

May 16. The TED Talk about the secret to living longer held some surprises. For example, who would have thought that having a flu vaccination protects you more than doing exercise and enables you to live longer.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

New members' corner 


Riccardo De Paola knew that as Italy’s supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses increased, more people would be needed to administer the shots and staff vaccination sites. He started contacting medical directors in the Verona region about how Rotary clubs could be ready to help — and began mobilizing a volunteer force that has since become a critical government partner.

De Paola, a past governor of Rotary District 2060 (Italy), says the dozen medical directors he talked to in late 2020 all echoed the same refrain: They desperately needed volunteer help to get vaccination sites up and running. De Paola coordinated with the current district governor, Diego Vianello, to recruit volunteers from the region’s 91 Rotary clubs.

“Our members work in so many professions, with deep and diverse expertise. We wanted our volunteers to use their skills in the best way possible,” says De Paola, a founding member of the Rotary Club of Marco Polo Passport D2060, which was chartered in July 2020 with the specific purpose of carrying out coronavirus-related service.
