December 14. Great to see Pahola profiled! Two more students at Creating Opportunities for Guatemalans have since been accepted into university!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
December 6. I enjoyed the video of PP Cliff Dochterman speaking to the incoming District Governors. I have always admired him and I have a copy of his book, the ABCs of Rotary, if I need to check on something of the history or traditions of Rotary.
December 19. Very interesting video about locusts. A swarm of locusts has more insects than there are people on Earth - that's a pretty incredible statistic. No wonder they can do so much damage.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
December 18. The locust swarm was SCARY!! Love our meetings as so much variety!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

From the earliest days of Rotary, members have referred to each other on a first-name basis. Since personal acquaintanceship and friendship are cornerstones of Rotary, it was natural that many clubs adopted the practice of setting aside formal titles in conversations among members. Individuals who normally would be addressed as Doctor, Professor, Mister, the Honorable or Sir are regularly called Joe, Bill, Charley or Jerry by other Rotarians. The characteristic Rotary club name badge fosters the first-name custom.
In a few areas, such as Europe, club members use a more formal style in addressing fellow members. In other parts of the world, mainly in Asian countries, the practice is to assign each new Rotarian a humorous nickname which relates to some personal characteristic or which is descriptive of the member's business or profession. A member nicknamed "Oxygen" is the manufacturer of chemical gas products. "Trees" is the nickname for the Rotarian in the lumber business, "Building" is the contractor, "Paper" is the stationery or office supply retailer. Other members might carry nicknames like "Muscles," "Foghorn" or "Smiles" as commentaries on their physical features.
The nicknames are frequently a source of good-natured fun and fellowship. But whether a Rotarian is addressed by a given first name or a nickname, the spirit of personal friendship is the initial step which opens doors to all other opportunities for service.
Are you aware of the responsibility or obligation most Rotarians fail to perform? Paying their dues? Attending meetings? Contributing to the club service fund? Participating in club events and projects?
The Rotary policy on club membership states: "In order for a Rotary club to be fully relevant to its community and responsive to the needs of those in the community, it is important and necessary that the club include in its membership all fully qualified prospective members located within its territory"
Only a Rotarian may propose a customer, neighbor, client, supplier, executive, relative, business associate, professional, or other qualified person to join a Rotary club. Have you accepted your obligation to share Rotary? The procedures are very simple, and everyone must know at least one person who should belong to Rotary.
Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!
