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?
Mental Health. Thank you for preparing the educational, humorous and inspiring meetings weekly.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport
January 24. I loved the frozen hair contest, and as always the inspirational moment, and all the great information. The video on mental health was excellent as well.
-- Nance MacLeod, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
January 24. Learned something new at our meeting. Cliff Dochterman shared how the polio campaign came to be!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
January 24. Peer-to-peer counselling is a brilliant idea!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
January 30. Thanks for showing the video of Gene Krupa playing Sing, Sing, Sing. It would be great if there had been a film of him playing with Benny Goodman's orchestra at the Carnegie Hall concert in 1938, for me the definitive rendition of Sing, Sing, Sing.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Announcements
This email is being shared with all Club Presidents, Club Foundation Chairs, Club International Service Chairs, Assistant Governors and the District Governor Team from Rotary District 5370. Please share with your individual club members and any other interested parties.
We have all heard about the horrible situation in Ukraine the past few weeks. The District Leadership team has heard from many Rotarians asking what we can do to help. We believe the best way to help is through the Rotary Foundation Disaster Response Fund. Please follow the link for more information about how funds will be used. The Foundation Trustees recently announced that all donations to the Fund between now and April 30, 2022 will be used for our response in Ukraine. Rotary Districts in and adjacent to Ukraine will be eligible to apply for the funds.
Your District Leadership team will match contributions made by D5370 clubs and Rotarians up to US$10,000 in total for all donations made before April 15, 2022. I will track the donation amounts but I will need the help of club Foundation chairs to do that. I am asking each Foundation chair to track the donations from your club (and members) and send me a note with the amount contributed. The District matching will come from our District Designated Funds.
Please Donate Here
Please send an email to Irene Makar at irene@dalcor.net to let her know (a) how much you have donated and (b) on what date so that we can have an accurate tally to report to District 5370. Thank you!
Yours in Rotary Service

Humour
Santa Claus has the right idea. Visit people only once a year.
- Victor Borge
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
- Mark Twain
By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
- Socrates
I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe.

I have never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back.

Still Relevant in 2022 - thanks PDG Jim!
Food for thought
You've probably heard the soothsayer’s warning to Julius Caesar in William Shakespeare's play of the same name:
“Beware the Ides of March.”
Not only did Shakespeare’s words stick, they branded the phrase—and the date, March 15—with a dark and gloomy connotation.
It’s likely that many people who use the phrase today don’t know its true origin. In fact, just about every pop culture reference to the Ides—save for those appearing in actual history-based books, movies or television specials—makes it seem like the day itself is cursed.

In remembrance of Ozzie Nelson who passed away on this date in 1975. Ozzie and his orchestra were the first to record this song on Feb. 16th, 1931. Ozzie was 24.
