Inspirational moment
Growing, ripening, aging, dying — the passing of time is predestined, inevitable.
There is only one solution if old age is not to be an absurd parody of our former life, and that is to go on pursuing ends that give our existence a meaning — devotion to individuals, to groups or to causes, social, political, intellectual, or creative work. In old age we should wish still to have passions strong enough to prevent us turning in on ourselves.
One’s life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation, compassion.
~Simone de Beauvoir (Book: The Coming of Age)

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?
February 11. It is such a good idea to grow vegetables in a warehouse, 95% of the water is reused, no pesticides required and weather isn't a problem. And the vegetables are being produced close to the consumer so less trucking is required.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
February 12. As always, some humour and new things to learn about.
-- Patrick Gibson, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
February 12. Great to be able to watch the Rotary International Convention!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
RI President-elect Stephanie. DG Training Conference. DGE Stephanie speaks with much sincerity about Rotary's important mission & presence in the world today. The Magic of Rotary will be a powerful theme for 2024-25.

Environment
Humour
Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the
latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected;
frequently humorous.
1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.
2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.
3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit . . .Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
9. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
10. In filling out an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency, Notify:' I put 'DOCTOR'.
11. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
12. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.
13. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
14. You're never too old to learn something stupid.
