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?   

February 21. Sitting is bad. A year ago, I bought an elevated computer tray so that I could stand while I worked. Time to pull it out and put it into service!!!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

February 26. After seeing the desecration of the Terry Fox memorial in Ottawa recently the video was a great reminder of how his run for cancer research has motivated so many to emulate him worldwide with the annual Terry Fox run. The Ted Talk on insulin and our overconsumption of refined sugar was very instructive.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370 

How to realistically decarbonise oil. Really enjoyed How to try a little Kindness musical presentation by Jane Arden and the youth. Imagine how different our world could be with all using this goal.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport

February 28. Another great meeting! I loved the inspiration moment as it was a great reminder that no one can be a better you than you, and the humor video - the lawyer who insured his cigars from fire – so funny!
-- Nance MacLeod, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

March 3. This week’s meeting. Wonderful video on "Land Acknowledgement.”
-- Neil Rogers, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

In Mexico’s migrant shelters, a Rotary scholar puts his education into action

Story and photos by Levi Vonk

There are two inescapable elements of southern Mexico.

The first is dust – desert rock ground to a powder that finds its way into your every crevice: the backs of your knees, the folds of your eyelids. You cough it up as you drift to sleep and discover its brume settled across your bedsheets in the morning.

The second element is violence.

I found both on the gritty tracks of the Beast.


Among those apprehended at the U.S.-Mexican border between October 2015 and January 2016 were 24,616 families – the vast majority of them from Central America.

Over the past half-century, millions of Central Americans have crossed Mexico from south to north, fleeing poverty, decades-long civil wars, and, most recently, brutal gangs.
