August 30. Again, excellent TED Talk on soil, carbon capture, and climate change.

September 3. Another awesome thought-provoking meeting! Thanks for playing my song! My daughters loved that movie!

September 5. Loved the whole meeting, especially The Promise video. It was so touching!
-- Nance MacLeod, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

September 5. Loved the Speaker Program!! He was right on the money - how we tire of long-winded speakers and only skim long texts. But a good lesson for me to shorten both my verbal and written deliveries!! And the Dr. Seuss quote: it's going up on the wall of our soon-to-be Community Library!!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Announcements

Little Bit of Service - Rotarian Jim Kenyon


Whitehorse has one of the best Trail Marathons in Canada. All on trails and not roads...and yes the odd bear chase.  Rotary has provided the halfway point water check since the beginning. I think this is the 15th year for me. 

Wenda Bradley, President of the Whitehorse Rendezvous Rotary Club (merged club in Whitehorse) had a ball with me, cheering everyone on.

Food insecurity for thought

Child hunger a major concern as Canadians hit by soaring food prices
About a third of people who rely on Canadian food banks are children.



Skipping the occasional meal has become the norm for Tara Andrews, who says soaring grocery prices have made it too hard to adequately feed herself and her two teens.

Even with help from food donations and her retired parents, the 49-year-old single mom says the skyrocketing cost of living is more than she can handle on her monthly income of $1,200. She’s already one month in arrears for May’s rent and expects the same for June.
