Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience.

A 12-year-old boy in Halifax is using his free time in lockdown to teach himself a new skill — watercolour painting.
Carter Noseworthy, who has always had an interest in drawing as well as athletics, said he was inspired to try something new.
Within a month of his first attempt, through experimenting and a bit of patience, Noseworthy was creating watercolour sketches of sites in Halifax and other cities in Atlantic Canada.
"You can easily do it anywhere you are, you can go to buildings downtown, and it's very relaxing to do at home, I really enjoy it," he said.

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?
Suicide help line. I found this message about suicide and the failure of many to be able to follow helpful guidelines or even to save themselves very discouraging but true. If one has ever dealt with suicides of others, or self-destructive behaviours, finding ways to relieve the pain of life is at the heart of it. Listening can be a good vent but not always enough.
Frankly, I found this message disturbing. I prefer a happier hopeful message from these meetings to inspire my week – which usually they are. This one was not helpful to me.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport
Suicide help line. Brian shares his most intimate moments in life with his experience of hopelessness and thoughts of suicide, and trying to help a person who followed through taking their life. Brian’s experienced those dark moments; however, the brief moments of joy are good enough to keep going in life. Overcoming those dark moments is well worth it.
-- Michael Thomas, Rotary Club of Stony Plain, District 5370
May 18. A lot of humor at the beginning and then the reality about someone considering suicide suddenly hit me. "Shut up and Listen."
-- Jean Michel Crepin, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Suicide Help line. Wow! Tough experience. I can see why he would never get it out of his mind!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
May 23. The speaker this week spoke about working on a suicide hotline and the things in his life that took him there. Quite thought-provoking.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

New members' corner
In the summer of 2016, Wes Clanton was looking for something to do. Which, if you knew him – and knew his crowded schedule – might have come as a surprise.
An officer in the merchant marine, Clanton was already spending six months a year – 60 days on and 60 days off – crisscrossing the Pacific Ocean on a cargo ship. He was also in graduate school, working toward an advanced degree in marine transportation management – “basically,” he says, “like an MBA for boat driving.”
When he was a child, his parents had, as he puts it, “done mission trips,” and they had instilled in him the same passion to give back to his community, be it locally or on a global scale. That’s one of the reasons he joined Rotary.
“What appealed to me was the service aspect,” he explains. “I was looking to do something that was greater than myself.” (At the time, Clanton was a member of the Rotary E-Club of District 5010, Alaska-Yukon; he has since transitioned into the Rotary Club of Nashville, Tennessee, USA.)
Nonetheless, he wanted to do more. “I was looking for an opportunity to volunteer, for a larger project that I could work on,” he recalls. That’s when a friend told Clanton about ShelterBox.

Rotary minute
District Governor-Elect Donna Barrett is optimistic that 2021-2022 will be the year we return to in-person meetings and service projects, but understands that we will likely still be living with restrictions when she assumes leadership of the District on July 1.
Club visits will be conducted differently than in previous years when District Governors spent the summer and fall travelling throughout the District.
“I am planning right now to meet with clubs virtually, early in the fall,” Donna says. Later in the year she hopes to visit clubs in person.
“I’m really looking forward to connecting with clubs and the people in clubs and experiencing Rotary fellowship,” she says. “I am hoping that as we get into the late fall and early spring that we will be able to connect face-to-face rather than just virtually.”
She also looks forward to an in-person District conference toward the end of her year as governor.
The District conference will be on May 27-28, 2022. “We pushed it as far back as we could in the hopes that we can bring everybody together,” Donna says.
“I’m hoping that we will be able to showcase some of the great projects that our clubs have done during the year.”
Donna hopes that during club visits there will be opportunities for her to participate with Rotarians in service projects.
“I am hoping to really emphasize the importance of service. Ideally, I would like to visit the clubs when they’re having their service projects and participate in service with the clubs,” she says. “In order to do that, I would need the clubs to let me know when their service events are and I would arrange my schedule around them.”
