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?   

July 25. Thoroughly enjoyed the Moth speaker on the topic “Guilty.” Very genuine.
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Guilty. Very moving. Our justice system is far from perfect but, we all have a responsibility. It was interesting that the experience changed this woman. Didn't like Amazon no-people store. Just means fewer jobs. Re bikes: I often think about how a bicycle changes things for people here in Guatemala. Means the difference between being able to get to a job or not.
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Guilty. Online make-ups are always easy to do and convenient.
-- Rick Gibson, Rotary Club of Strathcona Sunrise, District 5020

July 28. Loved the speaker program. Danusia Trevino was both funny and heart-felt.
-- Jim Ferguson, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

July 29. Today, on another smoky day, I decided to attend one of our Web Meetings while I was scheduled to pay bills, wash floors, and prepare lunch. I do not regret it. Kitty's welcome message was delightful. I saved the Aboriginal Story for another (supposed-to-do-housework) day. I joined the AD Rotary Action Group. Do not approve of Amazon's new store concept and was deeply touched by the Moth speaker. Well done!
-- Elly Contreras, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

July 31. I found the Canadiana article and the attendant item very interesting with a brief history of the First Nations and how their relations, with the arrival of the European settlers, evolved.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

August 2. Hello Jim K. and others. Once again, I watched Jim’s recital of the Four-Way Test along with its history, and I am very happy to know that this particular video is so very inspiration. Thank you, Jim!
I will use it again and again, and I do trust that all who view our weekly meetings will follow through with the video and the test, learning both the back-story and the test itself by heart and from memory!
-- Kitty Bucsko, E-Club of Canada One Associate Member, District 5370

Polio Survivor and What’s the Carrington Event. Admired the wheelchair shot-put athlete, and was fascinated by the effect the sun has on our earth.
-- Martin Secker, Rotary Club of Kingston, District 7040

RECCO YFF – YOUTH FOCUS FUNDRAISER

10km x 10 Location Sponsored Walk

September 25 – October 9, 2021

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

At the moment, we anticipate walkers will be walking in Cochrane, Calgary, Red Deer, Pigeon Lake, and Edmonton in Alberta; Osoyoos and Chilliwack in BC; and in Portugal, London (UK), and Guatemala internationally.

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.

The Club will greatly appreciate any amount you can give. Alternatively, you can donate via the links on the Club website (https://portal.clubrunner.ca/8529)

Please indicate walk sponsorship on any direct bank transfers. Click the “Special Fundraiser” drop-down box for payments via PayPal (if you add a penny “.01” after the dollar amount of your contribution for PayPal it will be clear code to our Treasurer that this is for the sponsored walk fundraiser), or you can use the QR code to facilitate payment.
