Ageless Quotes - Age 49 to 85
I've learned that no matter what happens, or
how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will
be better tomorrow. Age 49
I've learned that singing "Amazing Grace" can
lift my spirits for hours. Age 50
I've learned that motel mattresses are better
on the side away from the phone. Age 51
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a
man by the way he handles these three things: a rainy
day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. Age 52
I've learned that keeping a vegetable garden
I've learned that regardless of your relationship
with your parents, you miss them terribly after they
die. Age 55
I've learned that making a living is not the
same thing as making a life. Age 58
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second
chance. Age 62
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it
will elude you. But if you focus on your family, the
needs of others, your work, meeting new people,
and doing the very best you can, happiness will find
you. Age 65
I've learned that whenever I decide something
with kindness, I usually make the right decision. Age 66
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't
have to be one. Age 82
I've learned that every day you should reach
out and touch someone. People love that human touch,
holding hands, a warm hug,
Canadiana

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?
November 14. Cop and the Ex-con: Great program about collaboration. What a wonderful program to help their community. And a great message about how easily we judge people when we really know so little about their situation!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 21. The clothing recycling and fashion from mushrooms videos were interesting. Also, Interesting meeting and videos including about the cop and ex-criminal. Also, I will share the info about Giving Tuesday on social media.
-- Brenda Race, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 21. Another varied and interesting meeting. My bet is on seaweed!!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 21. Reading about people cutting back on food because of rising prices reaffirms my conviction that people need to be shown how to increase their monthly income. $500 a month can change most lives, and that is entirely attainable for everyone. But it's just like building a website or framing a house - these things are easy when you know how.
-- Conrad Hall, newest member of E-Club of Canada One
November 21. Great Meeting! Love the seaweed solution!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 25. The humour section made my day! Fantastic!
-- Angel Francisco Blanco Garcia, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 28. Totally related to the speaker. I have 6 t-shirts, 3 pairs of pants, 4 shorts, 2 pairs of shoes and 1 pair of sandals. If I buy something new, something else has to leave. "I would rather have a full passport than a full closet.”
-- Doug Dyer, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

A successful Rotary club:
• Sustains and increases its membership base, making sure that the composition of club membership reflects the diversity of the community in which it exists in terms of classification, age, gender, ethnicity, and other personal characteristics.
• Implements successful projects that address the needs of our community and internationally.
• Supports the Rotary Foundation through both financial contributions and program participation.
• Develops leaders capable of serving in Rotary at the Club level and beyond.

Visiting Other Rotary Clubs
There are over 33,000 Rotary clubs and 7,500 Rotaract clubs in the world. As a member of any Rotary Club, you enjoy the privilege of being able to attend the meetings of any other club as a guest!
Use Rotary International's Club Finder to find a club that will be meeting where you might be on vacation or out of town for work.
The first time you visit a Rotary club other than your home club, you might be a bit nervous. While every club has its own customs and "vibe," you'll find that your Rotary pin will make you a familiar and welcome guest in their midst.
Visiting another Rotary club is a great way to learn about new ways to serve your own community and to make connections with people in your fields of work and interests. Membership in Rotary is great common ground on which to build new friendships!

Food for thought
Let’s spread the kindness
“My husband left his shoes in the middle of the living room floor.”
-- Author Unknown
I saw them last night—they are hard to miss. He’s a tall guy and he wears big shoes.
I didn’t grumble.
I didn’t get mad.
I didn’t even say a word.
I know you might be thinking…
“Really, Leslie? He’s a 40-year-old man, he can pick up his own dang shoes.”
And you’re right. He can.
But I’m a 40-year-old woman and I can clean the trash out of my car and change the oil and I know I’m capable of helping my kids with their homework, but sometimes—I don’t do it.
But my husband does.
In fact, there’s a lot of things I don’t do that he does.
And there’s a lot of things I do, that he doesn’t.
We’ve learned after nearly 18 years of marriage, there’s just no reason to keep score.
We let go of the little things and work together on the big ones. We’re just two imperfect humans who love each other a lot and decided many years ago to be on the same team.
And to pick up the slack (and the shoes) when necessary.”
Let’s spread the kindness.
