January 3. Living a Zero Waste Life: A very tough challenge because EVERYTHING comes in plastic bottles!! But I am going to give it my best. Already switched to bar shampoo and sheets of laundry detergent that come in a cardboard box (Tru Earth - a Canadian company!). And in a project of our Rotary Interact club, I have made a promise not to buy plastic bottles (not a 100% yet with that one) or accept plastic bags. Also, Loved the Rotary movie and the laughter in the Humour section.

January 5. Loved the Zero Waste Ted Talk and the extinct dinosaur video! Also, the What If video. I often post many of the e-Club's weekly videos on my FB page.

Why I Live a Zero Waste Life. Lauren Singer. Very interesting TED talk and how Lauren produce was able to produce only the amount of waste that could fit in a Mason jar over the last three years. She has a blog that challenges people on how they can conserve and reuse almost anything. She makes her own toothpaste, deodorant, and buys second hand clothes. She also has been able to live a physically healthier lifestyle by eliminating the consumption of packaged food.

December 27 and January 5. Lots of great things on the December 27 meeting. I learnt about the history of Auld Lang Syne and joined with Andre Rieu to sing it. The Rotary - People of Action video shows how varied Rotary activities are. I especially liked the piece about the Bentley Rotary Club in Crewe as I had a tour of the factory about 60 years ago when I was a Shell Refinery apprentice. It was a Rolls Royce and Bentley factory then.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

One of the colorful traditions of many Rotary clubs is the exchange of small banners, flags or pennants. Rotarians traveling to distant locations often take banners to exchange at "makeup" meetings as a token of friendship. Many clubs use the decorative banners they have received for attractive displays at club meetings and district events.
The Rotary International board recognized the growing popularity of the banner exchange back in 1959 and suggested that those clubs which participate in such exchanges give careful thought to the design of their banners in order that they be distinctive and expressive of the community and country of which the club is a part. It is recommended that banners include pictures, slogans, or designs that portray the territorial area of the club.
The board was also mindful of the financial burden such exchange may impose upon some clubs, especially in popular areas where many visitors make up and request to exchange. In all instances, clubs are cautioned to exercise discretion and moderation in the exchange of banners in order that the financial obligations do not interfere with the basic service activities of the club.
Exchanging club banners is a very pleasant custom, especially when a creative and artistic banner tells an interesting story of community pride. The exchange of banners is a significant tradition of Rotary and serves as a tangible symbol of our international fellowship.
Until 1989, the Constitution and Bylaws of Rotary International stated that Rotary club membership was for males only. In 1978 the Rotary Club of Duarte, California, invited three women to become members.
The RI board withdrew the charter of that club for violation of the RI Constitution. The club brought suit against RI claiming a violation of a state civil rights law which prevents discrimination of any form in business establishments or public accommodations.
The appeals court and the California Supreme Court supported the Duarte position that Rotary could not remove the club's charter merely for inducting women into the club. The United States Supreme Court upheld the California court indicating that Rotary clubs do have a "business purpose" and are in some ways public-type organizations.
This action in 1987 allowed women to become Rotarians in any jurisdiction having similar "public accommodation" statutes.
The RI constitutional change was made at the 1989 Council on Legislation, with a vote to eliminate the "male only" provision for all of Rotary.
Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!
And another favourite, but from the Mountbatten Festival 2021
