October 10. The Power of an Image. Awesome speaker program!! And I am moving to Digby, Nova Scotia. I hear those scallops calling me!

October 11. Always something surprising in the weekly meeting - Trees that can walk up to 20m per year. I never thought I would ever read about a “walking tree.”
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
October 12. A well-packed meeting as always. As fellow artist, I enjoyed hearing Misan’s story of how he focused his unique abilities towards his passion that became his art.

For new Rotarians, there are several important things to learn and understand to fully engage with Rotary International and make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

2. Rotary’s Core Values - service, fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership.
3. The Four-Way Test
4. Rotary's Organizational Structure – including Rotary clubs, districts, and the international organization.
5. Rotary's Programs - including the eradication of polio, youth exchange programs, vocational training, and community service projects.
6. Fellowship and Networking – Rotarians should learn and make use of the opportunities for fellowship and networking with like-minded individuals who are committed to making a difference in the world.
7. Service Projects - Rotary is known for its service projects that address community needs. New Rotarians, and all Rotarians, should participate in and contribute to these projects, understanding that service is at the heart of Rotary's mission.

Rotary minute
DAWE: 100 years of Rotary Club in Red Deer
...submitted by Rotarian Tammy
The first Rotary Club was formed on February 23, 1905, when Paul Harris, an attorney in Chicago, Illinois, invited three friends to help start a diverse club of business people and professionals which would foster a spirit of fellowship and provide service to their community.
The idea of forming a local Rotary Club was proposed as Red Deer was coming through one of the most difficult times, economically and socially, in its history. The community had been devasted by the horrific First World War followed by the Spanish ‘flu epidemic, then the worst inflation ever recorded and finally a harsh economic depression with local unemployment surging to nearly 25%.
