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?
The first 5 years. Such an important message - not only to encourage parents to get off their devices, but also to dissuade them from using devices as a substitute for parental interaction!!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Week of August 30. Well curated material.
-- Elizabeth Gaffney, Rotary Club of Stratford, District 6330
Molly Wright. Molly is a seven-year-old who sheds light on the importance of interaction with children, especially in the first 5 years. She calls it Serve and Return. The simple game of peekaboo promotes trust and memory. Copy games promote imagination. I wish I watched this when our children were younger.
-- Michael Thomas, Rotary Club of Stony Plain, District 5370
Molly Wright. Excellent speaker!
-- Neil Rogers, Rotary Club of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, District 5820
What a wonderful Ted Talk with Molly Wright. The first 5 years in a child's development are so very important; one of the reasons I love Rotary's emphasis on early literacy.
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
September 2. Amazing meeting! Loved the great coordination of the music.The 7-year-old speaker. WOW! All parents in the world need to hear about this brain science. Love to know more about this presenter, and where she got her "smarts' from.
-- Elly Conteras, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
September 5. I am lost for words after watching the Ted Talk by seven year old Molly Wright telling parents how important it is to interact with babies and young children. What a performance from such a young person.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
September 5. The Ted Talk was terrific. Molly is future Rotarian material.-- Todd Colbourne, Rotary Club of Kingston, District 7040

Happy Hallowe'en!

...and for those who ask, there IS a
Rotary Choir!
I first joined the International Fellowship of Rotarian Musicians (IFRM) at the 2005 Rotary International Convention in Chicago. I was drawn to their booth in the House of Friendship by the number of people having fun singing to the accompaniment of a pianist. I joined the fellowship right then and there, and for several years, participated in the Rotary World Choir at conventions during the Interfaith Service on Sunday mornings. What a beautiful way to be together – making gorgeous music with people who had previously been strangers.
Once the COVID-19 pandemic hit and we lost our opportunity to sing together at the Honolulu convention, the leaders of our fellowship decided to start a new Zoom project to engage members through music. With social distancing, Rotarians were looking for ways to connect during social distancing.
In early April, the fellowship decided to perform music together in a virtual choir. Our Virtual Rotary World Choir, under the direction of John Ackenhusen, a musician who lives near Seattle, Washington, USA, now meets online every Saturday morning. Our members receive rehearsal material in advance, and then converge via Zoom to listen to the accompaniment and sing their parts. We then email our voice memos to John, who uses digital audio and video workstations to put the four-part harmony pieces together so that they are synced perfectly.
We have already engaged more than 25 Rotarian musicians in at least 12 countries. Over our brief history, we have recorded 13 songs, all of which have been posted on Facebook. The songs have ranged from hymns to popular music like Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” and sillier songs like “All God’s Critters Got a Place in the Choir.” On off-weekends, when we are not recording, we sing songs from the Rotary Song Book, composed mostly of popular pieces, such as “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” (That was the first song ever sung at a Rotary meeting.)
Click here to read more.
And one more. In case you missed it, here's more on a very important day - World Polio Day, October 24!
Please feel free to forward an approx. 150 - 200 word message or any material suggestions in an e-mail, or in a Word document, along with a JPeg picture or two, to E-Club Administration Chair, Kitty Bucsko.
We'd love to hear from you!
The Rotary E-club of Canada One is excited to announce that all of our attending guests who make a donation to our club in lieu of a meal, fines or happy bucks, will have the opportunity to have their name entered in a quarterly draw in support of the Rotary Foundation.

What is polio?
Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus spreads from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system.
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.
As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.
Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort.
Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
