Using the same tools and techniques as Formula One teams,
Toronto-based Cervélo builds what have been called the world's fastest and lightest bikes.
At the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, athletes riding Cervélo bikes won 10 medals,
while in 2008 Carl OS Sastre rode a Cervélo bike to win Le Tour de France.

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?
Jennifer Jones, RI President-elect. Jennifer’s talk reminds me of the discussion I had with my oldest son about the importance of vaccination against COVID. He was extremely reluctant about global vaccination. I was able to convey to him the history of polio and the devastating effects it had and how the vaccine changed the world. Without it and the efforts of Rotary, we would live in a different world today.
Jennifer also discussed how Rotary has helped her become a better person in life through the projects that Rotary undertakes. I, myself, feel I have become more worldly because of Rotary.

June 15. Another amazing TED Talk. If we were a terra club, we would never have access to these first-class speakers – or singers (Jukebox), etc.
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
June 21. The automaton writer is amazing!

10 Members of the Rotary E-Club of Canada One (“RECCO”) will each be walking 10 kilometers in 10 different locations at a date they choose in the last week of September or first week of October, 2021.
Funds raised will be used to support the Club’s involvement from 2021-2024 with the following projects, all of which focus specifically on youth:
- Project Amigo (Mexico)
- Creating Opportunities for Guatemalans
- Himalayan Life (Nepal)
- Rotary’s RYLE and RYPEN
Pictures of start locations and end locations for the walkers will be posted on the RECCO website/home page.
If you want to sponsor a walker, please contact Keith Evans (keithevans@stepoiltools.com) with details of your sponsorship commitment, and he will assign it to a walker. NO AMOUNT OF SPONSORSHIP IS TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG.

Rotary minute
As Rotarians, we receive monthly publications titled “The Rotarian.” One is international and one focuses on Canadian Clubs. Each edition is filled with the stories of wonderful projects to support humanity all across the globe. Projects ranging from small, localized initiatives to better one’s own community to those that take the world by storm (think Polio Plus).
While reading through these magazines, it struck me that every good deed, every successful project was all started by ONE person who had a passion for an idea.
They then brought that idea to their Club which enabled the passion to spread and the idea then became a project.
Sometimes, it spreads from Club to Club and becomes much bigger than even the original passionate soul could have imagined.
That is the power of passion and Rotary.

Food for thought
Every year at least a quarter of a million children contracted the mumps, a highly contagious viral disease that caused fever, swollen glands, and exhaustion. This year, thanks to vaccines to prevent the disease, less than 5,000 cases were reported.
Mothers used to know at a glance whether their child had measles—after all, most contracted it by the age of 15. During a particularly bad rubella outbreak in 1964, more than 12.5 million cases of the infection were reported, and thousands of children died or were born with severe disabilities.
Virologist Maurice Hilleman dedicated his life to creating vaccines to eradicate childhood illnesses. By the time of his death in 2005 at the age of 85, he had developed more than 40 vaccines including Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR), chickenpox, meningitis, pneumonia, hepatitis A and hepatitis B.
