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 video of the Exxon Valdez disaster was very interesting. In 2009 we took a tour of Alaska and the Yukon and camped in Valdez for a few days. One day we took a tour out to Prince William Sound.
As we travelled down the fjord, I was able to spend some time with the Captain, and he showed me on the chart the course that the Exxon Valdez had taken. As a result of the disaster, there is now a floating pilot station near the mouth of the inlet and every ship must now take on a pilot before going up the fjord and after loading they are required to take on a pilot to navigate back to Prince William Sound.
The attached photo is of the floating pilot station that I referred to.
The talk about sitting and our spines was also very good.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Jody Sanislaw. Sugar is not a treat. Jody’s reminder about the negative impacts of sugars and highly processed foods on our quality of life was very well done. Even though I follow foods I eat due to Type 2 Diabetes, she revealed to me some ideas I had not taken into account. Thank you to the E-Club for educating us about impacts these foods have on our health and daily moods and energy flows.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport
February 21. Loved all of the videos, especially the one from Mother Nature.
-- Nance MacLeod, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
February 21. Sugar is poison. One of my big mantras here in Guatemala where diabetes is rampant and Pepsi with every meal is not uncommon!!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

New members' corner
It Couldn’t be Done
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle it in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "couldn't be done," and you'll do it.
-Edgar Albert Guest

Wang Ping (born August 14, 1957) is a Chinese-American professor, poet, writer, photographer, performance and multimedia artist. Her publications have been translated into multiple languages and include poetry, short stories, novels, cultural studies, and children's stories. Her multimedia exhibitions address global themes of industrialization, the environment, interdependency, and the people. (Wikipedia)
Wang Ping was born in Shanghai and grew up on a small island in the East China Sea. After three years farming in a mountain village during the Cultural Revolution, mostly self-taught with little prior formal education available, she attended Beijing University and earned her bachelor's degree in English literature.
In 1985 she left China to study in the U.S., earning her master's degree in English literature from Long Island University and Ph.D. in comparative literature from New York University. (Wikipedia)
