November 7. The segment on the Puffins was wonderful. We have an island just off Yarmouth Harbour that has had them all along.
Jim Ferguson’s history of our E-club was excellent. When watching the wild BC salmon talk, I was thinking of Paul – maybe we should get him to speak on his research.
And nice to get an update on the Polio Campaign.
-- Neil Rogers, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
How to build and rebuild trust. Great speaker, interesting topic. Breaking down the three parts of trust is a great way to look at trust as a whole.
-- Eve Tollenaar, Rotary Club of Grande Prairie Swan City, District 5370
November 12. Good coverage of Foundation month and PolioPlus.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
November 13. Really enjoyed the piece on Global Citizenship and Dutch water control. The Dutch are amazing dairy farmers and trendsetters in the indoor Hydroponic production of vegetables.
-- Patrick Gibson, Rotary E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Rotarians had been interested in expanding to South America as early as 1916, and had focused on Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. But the first club was instead chartered in Uruguay, thanks to the efforts of Herbert P. Coates.
Coates, a native of England, had lived in South America for many years.
He became acquainted with Rotary while on a business trip to Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, in 1916. He found that many businessmen in the city were busy with the Rotary Convention taking place there.
Intrigued, he arranged to visit Rotary headquarters and asked about starting a club in Uruguay.
Coates returned to Montevideo with approval to start a club, and his work led to an organizational meeting in July 1918. That December, he and 21 other charter members submitted the club’s formal application to Rotary.
Harris, along with Secretary Chesley R. Perry, launched the publication to share information with a growing number of Rotarians. Perry was the magazine’s first editor and held the position until 1928.
The official formation of clubs in Canada and England prompted the magazine to change its name to The Rotarian, starting with the September 1912 issue.
Early on, the magazine focused on business ethics, character development, and membership growth. Throughout the years, well-known critics and authors, along with popular artists and photographers, contributed their work to its covers and pages.
In the 1940s, the magazine published many commentaries about the effects of war by prominent writers and leaders such as Sherwood Anderson, Winston Churchill, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells, Mohandas K. Gandhi, George Bernard Shaw, Pearl S. Buck, and J. Edgar Hoover. A selection of these articles was reprinted in three booklets from 1942 to 1947.
As Rotary clubs formed around the world, regional magazines appeared, each offering Rotary news from a local perspective. The first regional magazine was published in Great Britain and Ireland in 1915.
More than half of Rotarians worldwide receive a regional magazine instead of The Rotarian. The Rotary World Magazine Press publishes more than 30 officially licensed Rotary regional magazines. These publications are produced independently by Rotarians, distributed in more than 130 countries, and published in more than 20 languages.
Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!
Using the words of W.B. Yeats, McWilliams makes the case for embracing unconventional thinkers – poets, artists and musicians – and offers a creative path towards a world filled with less confirmation bias and more understanding.
