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?
July 3. The story of Syrian refugee Tareq Hadhad and his family was very moving and must be very inspiring to all new Canadian immigrants.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
June 27. Shekhar Mehta's message at the Rotary Convention was very impactful. I learned a lot more about what Rotary is doing around the world. I am going to investigate more about the Menstrual Hygiene Management Program.
July 4. I loved the Audacious Project and Ms. Araya’s message of urgency!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Electricity transportation and environment. Planning to have most vehicles fully electric by 2035 with others to follow by 2050. The speaker did not discuss how and where to dispose of the old batteries, however.
-- Martin Secker, Rotary Club of Kingston, District 7040
July 12. Wonder where Charlie Cooper (inspirational moment) is now? He was 9 years in 2014 and had an 'idea'! Does he still have great ideas? The Buddy Benches are an idea my restorative practice organization adopted around that time! I also really enjoyed and appreciated RI President Jennifer Jones' very important message on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

"Little Bit of Service"
The bit of service involved restoring a garden seat for 2 seniors. The seniors just happen to be my Mother and Father-in-Law.
Being outside all summer for many years the varnish was in poor condition and one of the cross supports was cracked and required repairing. The top of the back both sides had weathered away and required lots of filler.
So Sharon and I set to work on the restoration and the Seniors seemed pleased with our efforts. Now they will be able to enjoy their garden seat for a few more years.
Additional support required
Screwing in the new support
Some glue required

THIS WEEK - A drum treat
Contributed by Jim Kenyon, who writes: “After seeing the brief appearance this week in the meeting of HM Royal Marine Drum Corps...here’s a clip of them in a “fight” with the Top Secret Drum Corps of Switzerland. Isn’t this really how fights should be conducted…”
